we're here!

in Lagos! yes, equatorial Africa is hot and humid but its also really really wonderful! the people are beyond welcoming and the food is delicious. stephanie and i (well...maybe more me) are pretty enthralled with the lizards running around the grounds of the convent we're staying at.

we got here late yesterday evening and are adjusting to the time change pretty well, i think.

i wish i had adequate words to describe the energy here. it's unlike anything i've seen or felt or known before. maybe over the next several days i'll try to find a way to talk about it. until then, just know it's consuming.

we're here. we're safe. and we're very very glad to be here.

my soul is full and i am eager. i'll hand it over to stephanie now.

much love,
travis



hey all
so we made it safely to lagos last night! there are so many people who line the streets, and it seems like the airport is a hot spot...the ride to the convent was amazing. people were walking the streets and the cars on the road were driving so chaotically BUT everything had a pattern to it...apparently the horn is a method of communication NOT a hostile machine

its very humid here but it will probably be the best diet ever!! like travis said the food is delicious...

pk well her brother is about to pick us up to meet NG's family!! ttyl

travis and stephanie can be counted among the two most courageous young adult americans. their energy is unbeatable. what started like a little conversation has become a reality among the three of us (the muskateers). sometimes i have to remind myself that stephanie and travis are with me in nigeria and not in america. all it takes to make a dream come true is hope into the plane and off. so here we are - still in lagos waiting for the june 12 to pass, the two americans to pay courtesy visit to their homeland embassy and we are off again to the east - where the sun rises on igbo-ukwu (the great igbo) that is my home-----.
... so the journey conts....
