We left MCI at 8:15 on Friday morning. We got to Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. at 11:30. Since we had a six hour layover, some of us took a shuttle to the Smithstonian Air & Space Museum. Then we departed from Dulles at 5:40 p.m. We flew an eight hour flight from there to Dakar, Senegal, on the West Coast of Africa to refuel. After an hour layover, we had another eight hour to Joburg. We got varying amounts of sleep on the flights.
We arrived in Joburg at 4:30 p.m. It took awhile to disembark, go through customs, and get our rental vans. We were warmly welcomed at the airport by Paul's aunt (tanta), Georgina and two cousins, Charls and Michael. From there we drove across town to Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene where Naas and Heather Tredoux are pastors. Once again we were warmly welcomed by church members with a bountiful spread for us complete with Five Roses tea, coffee, and delicious food.
We were each introduced to our host families where we divided to spend the night. Ah the luxury of a comfortable bed.
