Ready or not, here we come

I type as the rest of the group busily prepares to leave the SSE house at least as good, if not better, than when we found it. We're packed and ready to head out to Abuja in a few hours. We'll likely wait in the airport after security check for quite a while... then on to Amsterdam with a 5 hour layover before we leave for Detroit. And this trip has been worth every bit of every hour of travel.

Last night's dinner that was hosted here at the house was attended by nearly 50 people, and we were treated to traditional tribal dancers. Very fun. It was cold here by Nigerian standards, so our local friends were suffering quite a bit. We ate ram and chicken and laughed and talked a lot... and exchanged a TON of pictures! Good stuff.

We miss you and can't wait to tell you more in person.

Sai gobe,

Mama Kande
