Day One: Traveling

Today is the first day we got the internet working, so I really was traveling about two days ago but here is how it went.

On Sunday we (8 of us) took a 7 and a half hour flight from JFK to Frankfurt and won't lie, had a few glasses of wine to pass the time, so we were a little tipsy as we got off the plane at 5am in Germany. The airport was dead at that hour but quickly filled up.

Riding the tram at 5am in Frankfurt, we saw the most beautiful full moon

all the staff in Frankfurt ride small bicycles everywhere

We then had a 6 hour layover in Frankfurt where we then took another 6 and a half hour flight to Abuja, Nigeria arriving at 5:30pm Monday evening. Lots of travel but the planes were half empty...I mean half full (I am an eternal optimist), good enough airplane food, movies and free booze....though I did get a horrible airplane cold (stuffy/runny nose and sore throat) that I am hopefully getting over soon.

And then we landed in Nigeria...
