Well, I'm sitting here in the Zurich airport waiting for it to get a little warmer and the weather to clear before I go to explore (I have a 10 hour layover here). These last few days have been so draining. I am saying goodbye to family and new friends. The last day, my fellow physical therapists gave me a send off party with fufu and jama jama. I finally lost it and the tears started flowing when they prayed that God would be with me and guide my footprints wherever I go. That as they were praying for me, they knew my family and friends were praying for me over in the States.
I am almost halfway done with getting all the way back to Sioux Falls. The drive from Mbingo to Douala was not fun. I get car sick easily and they had to pull over 2 times for me to puke out on the side of the road. We made a detour to Limbe for one of the passengers, so I got to see a glimpse of the ocean from the other side. It's weird going from a third world country airport and arriving in one decorated with beautiful Christmas decorations, chocolates and smells of expensive perfume. I thought coming back to the States right before the holidays would be good idea so I could be with family during that time. I wasn't thinking about how it would affect me going from a place that 200$ a month is an extremely rich person to the consumerism of black Friday and the sort.
Here are some pictures of my last few days.
