So we arrived in Abuja this morning after a 2 hour drive from Jos. We left at about 6:30 this morning, and we started skating as soon as we got in. We checked out three different skate spots, taking time to go to the biggest church in the city, the millennium park, and the sports stadium.
We got a great surprise when we left to go to our accommodations, Terence had informed us that we would be staying in less than comfortable digs. We were happily surprised when our vans pulled up to the Abuja Sheraton, a very nice hotel that is a nice change for all of us.
We are all putting our African clothes on tonight, the Mayor of Abuja has invited all of us out for supper. We are very honored to be able to meet some of the amazing people that we have met, and are looking forward to our get together tonight.
Everyone is excited to get on the plane tomorrow, but very sad as well. We had a team meeting last night where everyone had a chance to talk about how this visit has impacted them, some of the things that were said have been very profound. We can't wait to get back to share all the stories with you all.
London is looking like it is going to be a lot of fun. As soon as we get off the plane and into our hostel tomorrow, we will be heading to a play, which everyone is looking forward to. Friday is going to be spent searching the city for skate spots...so stoked!
Jenna is feeling great, she was splashing around in the pool today, and Tanner is looking like his usual self, although a little skinnier, if that was even possible!
Thanks for all your comments, and this could be the last post we have before heading home.
We're excited to see you all.
Bye for now.
