London

A very long day and night. First, the TSA threw away 10 pounds of peanut butter I had purchased for the priests.  In retrospect I might be glad as there was already more checked in our bags and now my carry-on is much lighter.

I was able to sleep some on last night's flight so I didn't feel too bad when we got to London at 8:00 am (3:00 am at home). We were able to leave our luggage at Heathrow and ride the train to the British Museum. It's so awesome and we only saw about 15% of it.  Then fish and chips and ale in a pub and back to the airport.  Ray ran into some security issues and they destroyed his hand sanitizer and toothpaste, then searched him. Glad we got here early because that took about an hour.  I know somebody who probably would have gotten himself arrested if that had happened to him.

Now another overnight flight to Nairobi (9 hours) , a two hour layover, then a short flight to Lilongwe.  The priests will pick us up there around noon and then a 2 1/2 hour drive to Bowe.  Again, so far so good.  We are all doing well and will catch up tomorrow.
