I'm still processing our trip, but I'll go ahead and share a few pictures with you. You can expect more over the next few days. We took around 500 pictures, but don't worry, I won't post near that many.
Some funny things that I was thinking about this morning are:
1. We spent 5 nights at a resort/beach area just outside of Dakar- and one day I thought I had really gotten a good sun-tan on my feet. That night it all washed off in the shower, it was just caked-on red dirt. I was so disappointed.
2. I was thinking that the bottoms of my feet were permenantly black from the flip flops I wore all day/every day- but it all finally washed off this morning. No matter how hard I scrubbed it would not come off!
3. It's really clean here compared to Senegal.
4. It's really cold here compared to Senegal.
5. I miss Senegal. Which is really strange because I was the kid in GA's when I was little praying that God would not send me to Africa. Then I married an MK from Africa. Then I visited Africa. Now I like Africa.
From the beginning of our journey-
The morning we flew to Brussels- while waiting for our delayed flight to leave. It didn't. If you read our previous post you will know that we ended staying the night in a super nice hotel courtesy of Brussels Airlines. Two blessings came from that stay- a good night's sleep and a fabulous magnifying mirror in the bathroom in which I could easily pluck my eyebrows because I had forgotten to do that before we left. :)
Bailey, after I can't even remember how many hours in Brussels Airport. I know sweetie, I felt that same way too, trust me!
The chapel where I jokingly- sort of- told Marc we needed to take Bailey in to pray over her before the flight.
Trying to keep them entertained at the airport- Cerys was not in a good mood as you can see.
We finally made it! The next morning we walked out onto the balcony and saw a herd of cows come down the street.
Enjoying the sun!
The only picture I have of her in shoes I think.

Looks just as I remember it! I can't wait to see more...and you could count me in for all 500!
Sounds like the trip of a lifetime! Charity, I had to laugh when reading about your "flip-flop feet"...mine look like that every night the nine months of the year that I wear flip flops here! My husband thinks it's so gross and can't believe that I haven't learned to wear "real shoes" in China! :) But despite the annoying nightly scrubbing ritual, I can't give 'em up!
Croeso i gymru! Glad you had a great trip, enjoyed reading your updates! Happy New Year and catch up soon. love The Parfitts
