Thanks everyone for your prayers and support.  It was an exhausting trip — the best kind :-), but now it is time to catch up with life here in the suburbs and begin work on the next project.

Joe, my college room mate from 1985 came to pick Beth and I up at the airport, and John (in the spiffy African shirt) and Kim came to retrieve Kaitlyn and Daniel.  Beth and I went home to warm showers and take-out sushi with Emily and Joe.  The Macs caught up on real American burgers.  Looks like we each have different comfort food :-)

Come back and watch this blog space in February 2019, we may try and shift our yearly trip back to February (we got pushed to the October schedule a couple years ago when I was sick).
