safe

Quick update. We got into our hotel in Cairo around 4 am. It is now 11 am. Everyone seems groggy but happy. Pyramids today! Woohoo!

Amsterdizzle f'shizzle. . .
First things first, we are safe and sound in ye ole Nederland. We'll ship out for Cairo this evening. It's been eventful already. Re-enacting an old (and beloved) scene from childhood, I lost my lunch on the flight over. . . or was that dinner. . . I guess the time change is getting to me already! It wasn't that bad, though. Don't cry for me, America. Let's look at it this way, at least I have more room for some fine Dutch cuisine, eh?

We met up with Carolyn, Carrie Anne, and Jo Anna, (who had spent a couple of days sight-seeing here in Amsterdam,) and with Brian, (fresh off his trip to India,) in the airport. It's easily a 40-plus-degree drop in temperature! It's kinda nice to feel some cool damp air, especially before we are delivered into the fiery furnace that is Cairo!

Everyone seems to be in good spirits! We'll see a museum or two, and then get on the plane again tonight. Check back for updates, prayer requests, etc. Feel free to comment and encourage the team! Thank-you for partnering with us in this! We'll see you soon!
