After 31 hours of travel, I am now in Africa.
We are currently taxiing toward the runway from where we will begin the one hour flight to Lungi, Sierra Leone. The weather is very nice here and the sun is shinging. My mood now is quite different than that of several hours ago. It is extremely easy to become depressed about the current situation or even one's life goals when one is exhausted. I must keep in mind that many, many people across the globe, including Sierra Leone and even the US, go through that every day of their lives.
We met up with the other members of the University of Illinois nutrition group in the airport in Brussels. Everyone seems to be putting a good face on things despite whatever anxiety each is facing. Liftoff!
Excellent photo of the city and the ocean waves. I like to see the photos clearly visible as part of the story.
