We Reached Liberia!

The trip was very long but we are here! Emile and Ephraim picked us up at the airport and somehow in the confusion our luggage was loaded. All of our luggage arrived with us.

It was light when we landed but darkness fell very quickly and within 30 minutes after we walked out of the airport Emile was expertly dodging the hundreds of people walking along the road in the dark! It was so interesting to see so many community names that have become familiar to us over the years of our "watching" Liberia, via the Internet. One funny incident - as we passed through one community, Emmalee and I together called out the now -familiar town name in a sort of chorus sounding like long-lost residents finally returning home. We all cracked up.
