Departure day

Heading out of DC in a couple hours.  Thanks to my loving family and friends for many great meals and treasured times together this week... all your lovins makes it hard to leave!  Will arrive in Sierra Leone tomorrow afternoon NY time, evening Africa time.  Will try to update my arrival when possible. 

Sunday Party

Thank you to the many that made it to the Palace Sunday night.  I had a wonderful time and feel incredibly loved and special.  And thank you also to so many of you that generously gave financially toward my trip.  I truly appreciate your kindness.  The ONLY unfortunate happening (besides the many people who wanted to be there and couldn't for one reason or another) was that I forgot my camera!  Ugh!  So no pictures to pass along.  But I PROMISE not to forget my camera when I go to Africa... ;)  Much love...
