In a few hours I will be on my way to the airport to begin the long journey back to Iowa...if I figured right, I will be traveling for about the next 24 hours...so I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I go! Traveling overseas by myself is never my favorite thing.

Today has been quite the day...Cori and I managed to take the longest taxi ride EVER...the driver had no idea how to get to where we were going...it's always an adventure. Then this afternoon we were settling in to watch the World Cup (Costa Rica vs. Germany) when we discovered that our ever faithful Dakar is not showing the game on any of its channels. Can you even fathom that!? Cori and I even walked a few km trying to find a TV...any TV...even maybe one of the fruit venders who sometimes have a TV outside...but to no avail...so we have resigned ourselves to following the game online. Much to my dismay, it seems that Costa Rica has lost. :(

Anyhow, that's all for now...guess I'll write again when I get back to the other side of the big lake between the States and here. :)
