May 14th

Our dreams are finally coming a reality. Today we leave out of Chicago to Amsterdam, then from Amsterdam we fly straight to Tanzania. It will be a long day of traveling but we are so excited to go. We were in class Monday and Tuesday and learned a about the history of Tanzania and the culture of the people. We also each presented a little information about different aspects of the African savanna and the wildlife we will find there. We had an exam on Wednesday, then dispersed to pack. The bus leaves at 10:00 AM from Hope College. Please pray for everyone on the trip and for safe traveling. I will try to update this blog every day that it is possible. See you later!
