We endured a long day of travel, waking up at 4:00 am Germany time and going to bed at 1:00 am Denver time (29 hours total).
Over the past month, we've taken fourteen flights; camped seven nights in the African bush; taken cold showers; sung and played soccer with African children; watched leopard kittens play; were stared down by elephants and lions; discussed life with a Massai warrior in his dung hut; sipped wine on the Indian Ocean; put our hands in the Nile; stood on the Great Pyramid; entered Pharoahs' tombs; learned some Swahili and Arabic; stood in Anne Frank's bedroom; witnessed prostitution; enjoyed Van Gogh's art; and clanked beer mugs with smiling, wrinkle-faced German natives while singing at the top of our lungs.
Adam and I have grown closer than we knew was possible, and we are enriched by the experiences we've had and the people we've met. We will never view the world the same way, and we will strive to bring joy, whether with financial donations or simply through a smile, to the world around us.
St. Augustine said, "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page." Thank you for reading our blog and sharing in our travel experiences. Until the next adventure, we send our love.
Adam & Allison
