Kigali, finally.

We had a pretty insignificant trip into Kigali today. That is, unless you count the over 16 hours worth of travel. We are very tired after not sleeping yesterday much, and we are ready for bed. No jet lag, but certainly ready to get going to sleep.

Other than significant delays in the air on Sunday and Monday, we all got here in one piece with all of our luggage. We got the chance to ride on a Boeing 777 which is a plane that Sheri's Father helped produce. We also got a chance to meet the other 4 families that travelled with us out of Washington, Dulles. The Boeing 737-800 was not as roomy. I was at ease when the voice from the cockpit was an American, but certainly was not sure later. We landed in Entebbe, Uganda smack dab in the middle of Lake Victoria. Spectacular view on the way down, but very cloudy. As we touched down, we expected to slow down, but instead we bounced off the runway a bit. Hard landing, but everyone was fine. We had an almost empty flight from there into Kigali. Met the rest of our wonderful travel mates, and powers of attorney N & P soon after.

We visited the ministry this afternoon, and we talked with our social worker. We have an appointment with her tomorow, and as always would welcome prayer. We were excited to discuss in person the steps remaining for all the families to complete our adoptions. We will share all the news of tomorrow as well.

Not sure I did it justice, but here is the view from the Italian restaurante we ate at tonight. Outdoor seeting, stone steps and patios, flat bread pizza and my new favorite soda Fanta Fiesta.
