Tuesday morning began rather early for us. We stirred out of bed about 4:15 a.m. and finished packing out the truck. We said our goodbyes to JJ and Melissa and pulled out of Aneho around 5:20 for Kara. We drove straight for nearly 6.5 hours before getting to a little town called Bilita. We fulled up, checked the fluids and used an African restroom. It was Adie's first shocking experience of the day. Needless to say, she didn't really talk to me for about 20 minutes after that. I don't think I really prepared her for it!
Anyways, from that point, and having already cleared about 40 miles of some absolutely terrible roads, we were only a couple hours on decent roads from Kara. So, around 2 p.m we pulled into our property that we rent and began unloading the vehicle.
Adie had never been to Togo before or Africa for that matter. The only thing she could compare it to would be her visits to Mexico on previous missions trips. So, this was still quite rustic for her to say the least! But she is a brave women, drive and strong. We spent a couple hours opening boxes, unpacking and settling in before heading over to the Huff's house for dinner and to spend the night. We'll spend a couple days at the house unpacking and settling while staying the night at the Huff's as we transition.
It's been interesting so far and quite the adventure. I'm excited about our future here!!!
