Safe arrival in Ethiopia

We arrived at Bole Airport in Addis Ababa at 10:30 p.m. Thursday local time, which is 12:30 p.m. Thursday back home in Spokane. All of our luggage made it safely, and everyone made it through the visa line and the currency exchange line without any difficulties. Tom Wade, the crew from All God's Children and Danny the bus driver from Hannah's Hope orphanage were waiting for us once we cleared customs. In the picture, Tom is supervising the luggage distribution at the Union Hotel.
It's now 1 a.m., there's a junkyard dog baying somewhere in the distance, and our alarm clock is set for 7 a.m. Our adventure has begun.

  1. Yay! Safe arrival! I Bet it is kinda funny to actually be there after about a year of planning! Hope all is well! Sleep good whenever the next time you are supposed to sleep is! (I gave up on trying to figure out what tim it is there all the time!)
