"We're Here..."

We left the ships at noon on May 31st....we arrived last night in Seattle June 1 at 6:00pm...What an incredible journey-36 hours-and completely exhausted.....to briefly recap our journey...We arrived at the boarder of Togo and Ghana and cleared immigration (with the help of Edom an awesome Day Volunteer) with no problems...
We had a taxi waiting for us on the other side of the boarder to take us to the airport in Accra, Ghana.  This would be about a 3 1/2 hour drive...Ghana is a beautiful country...

Alisia trying to get some last minute "zzzz's".
Joshua hoping the luggage will not fall on his head!
Ghana is so lush and green...
Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:55pm-so we had a bit of wait time at the airport. 
One of the interesting experiences was we ran into a group of people who were filming the TV program "The Amazing Race". It is interesting to really see what happens before they edit all their footage.
Then we had the long flight to Frankfurt Germany where we caught our connecting flight to Chicago.
While in Chicago we ate lunch, cleaned up and felt a bit more human...
MMMMMMM...Snapple....ICEBURG lettuce.....

MMMMMM...double cheeseburger, fries, Heinz catchup...Coke.....
Finally....Seattle, Washington...home....

  1. Was wondering if you can tell us any more about seeing the Amazing Race in Accra - were they waiting for a flight to leave Accra or arriving?
    Did you happen to take any pictures?
    Was this the afternoon of May 31?
