Last night, my 19 year old daughter safely arrived at the Seattle/Tacoma airport along with 18 other Pacific Lutheran college students and 2 faculty members. My wife, my 13 year old, and myself drove up there to greet her and drive her home.
They had spent over 3 weeks mostly in Tanzania but had to land and take off from Nairobi, Kenya--a country racked with widespread violence as the result of an alleged, rigged, re-election of their President.
Their trip included a safari, and travels throughout the country. The most challenging aspect of the trip was a 5 day climb up and down 19,000' Mt. Kilamanjaro. My daughter was one of the 16 students who successfully made the climb.
She was tired and sunburned(from the beaches of Zanzibar) but in good spirits. Like most Americans who returned from foreign countries, she had a craving for American food. My wife made her peanut butter pancakes this morning(ugh!)
