Day 107 - February 28th

Sorry for the delay folks - to catch up....
On Tuesday Feb 28th, we headed for the Entebbe airport at 2 am and had no trouble getting to the gate in plenty of time.
We were delayed in Nairobi for a strange reason - they said we had to be able to land in the Congo if there were problems, and they didn't have room for that until almost 2 hours later. Welcome to the African "wait!" But our flight went smoothly, and I slept, which was great.
Upon our arrival back in Younde, we were picked up by Gord, the CMF hostel dad, and I had to brave my terrible French to go to a boulangerie. We survived and got food. :-)
Later we got with an English speaking taxi driver, Thomas, and saw some of Younde, including the American embassy. The sight of our flag, billowing in the breeze, has never made me so homesick or to feel so patriotic. It is so strange to think that I would be on American soil if I just walked in!
