I'm setting out for a 6 week adventure to Africa. I'm joining a group called Mercy Ships to provide much needed surgeries to the people of Liberia.

Someone forgot to turn on the heat!

Outside my window- a far change from Africa

So ends my adventure.  I'm finally home.  Let me bring you up to speed.  I got into Chicago 45 minutes early.  It was really foggy out, we didn't know we were close to the ground til we hit it.  Had what was supposed to be a 5 hour layover, but getting in early and all the delays due to the fog, turned it into about 8 hours.  Our group from Monrovia was down to 2 now, myself and a guy named Victor.  We walked around waiting for our gates to be assigned.  By this time, I was so tired.  I had been traveling for 31 hours with only small small naps on the plane.  (On my flight from Brussels, I fell asleep without realizing it and my poor seatmate had to crawl over me and I didn't even wake up!)  After changing gates about 4 times, I finally got on the plane that would take me home. 

My grandpa picked me up from the airport.  I got home at around midnight, 48 hours has past since I last slept.  It was really good sleeping in my own bed.  Woke up this morning with 3 inches of snow on my car and the temperature outside a balmy 22 degrees.  I miss Africa.  Thanks for reading.
