Im Here!

Hey Guys,

So as mom has told you I have arrived safe and sound after 18 hours of travel time (24 hours with the time difference). It was really crazy because we first landed in Niamey, Niger for about 30 mins before heading to Burkina and it was almost completely desert.


Definitely must say it felt amazing to be on African soil even though I hadnt actually left the plane.

When we landed in Ouagadougou going through customs and getting our bags was really easy and went pretty smoothly but as soon as we left the airport it was pretty much madness. We found our contacts and everything but we werent too sure who was with them and who wasnt. We also didnt know the customs on tipping nor did we have any small change and ended up giving away 20 euros to those helping with our bags (which really should have only been the two guys who obviously worked at the airport but ended up being some other randoms that just started grabbing our bags).

After that ordeal was over it was pretty cool getting into the car and driving through the city to the house where we would be staying. The people here are overwhelmingly friendly and one of our contacts has been kind enough too cook all of our meals so far.

I have to cut ths short because we have to go. I was trying to upload pictures but it is taking ,uch longer than I hoped so you guys will have to wait sorry :(

A plus tard les amis!
