Late Blog: Final Days in Africa & Traveling Home
Greetings to everyone, I will make this blog rather short, but I thought I would tell you about my final days in Lome. On Thursday (April 29th), I went to dinner with my roommates. It was Marcy's farewell dinner; I went to the Seaman’s Mission ...

Togo Party!

Lounging By the Pool
... . The white man's tax is a bit excessive in this country and I think it is because so few white people actually go to Togo. I pretty much stayed at the hotel all day with the exception of heading out to a neighboring hotel for a slightly cheaper lunch. I ...

Another "longest day"
Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon began a trip of around 24 hours. The flight from Bujumbura to Nairobi actually left half an hour early. This has happened several times before when I have flown from Bujumbura to Kigali or to Nairobi. In this case we flew ...
