On to a new continent

Well, my time in Israel wrapped up and I moved on, though not without an interesting experience. In answering the questions while going through security, I told them that I'd received gifts from a Palestinian woodworker living in Bethlehem -- the West Bank. Long story short, I spent 2 and a half hours going through security, and just caught my plane. Let's just say the Israeli's are thorough when it comes to airport security.

I made it to Malawi. The flights were uneventful, which was nice considering the age of their aircraft (I flew with Ethiopian Airlines).

The countryside here here very dry and dusty. I am now at a hotel in the old part of the city, and tomorrow I will leave early for a four day safari. So you won't hear anything from me for a while, or see anything. The hotel's wifi system seems to be down, and so now I'm typing away in an internet cafe that has an incredibly slow connection, on a computer that I think Noah used for inventory. Hopefully things will be better after the weekend. But in anycase, I'm safe and sound in Africa.

  1. Glad to know you are safe and sound! Good luck finding internet access (it will be a challenge, I'm sure....) Have fun on the safari!
