Day 2

Day 2 – November 15th
I was in Brussels in the morning, and then arrived in AFRICA! From the time I landed in Brussels, I was clearly far from home. We rode a shuttle to a remote gate to catch the Africa flights. The waiting area for the shuttle was not heated – I was thankful I had worn long sleeves to fly! We had to board and deboard the shuttle completely outside. Did I mention we had seen the sunrise as we landed, and it was a balmy 32 degrees F….I was NOT dressed for freezing weather! I was okay, though the others headed to our terminal were chuckling at my shivering a little. I was a good sport about it.
On the flight, the flight attendants were all cordial, but the main ones who helped me were not English speakers. In trying to be careful to not eat milk products, I ended up forgoing one of my entrees. Oops, thank you language barrier!
