April Fools Day

It was 45 years ago today that Bob and I married - yes it was April Fools Day. And we are more in love now than ever - who would have thought! We are having lunch with friends in Fredricksburg this afternoon then on to Comfort Inn at Dulles Airport. A shuttle in the morning will take me to the airport for a very long flight. I will fly Ethiopian Air from Dulles to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, arriving Monday morning, 15 hours and 15 minutes. There is a 3 hour layover then a 2 hour flight to Juba, capital of South Sudan. I will spend the night in Juba and then fly out Tuesday for Rumbek, a short 1 hour flight. I am traveling alone this time and for a shorter period of time - total of 13 days. There is much to accomplish so this is an experiment to see if this time shorter period is productive. We received word this week from our director, Justin, that a storm damaged a roof of the school. The local Community Development Committee who owns the property was notified and it is being repaired. Hopefully, it will be in good shape soon. School is in full session! I will try to write daily but will have to see how the internet availability is this time....
