Day 18 Final Day in Africa






8/11/07 Saturday
Laurie made us a big breakfast—eggs, muffins, and fruit. Then we watched a video of the famous African drummers.
We were able to get on the roads at 10am because we were going to the airport, so we missed the morning rush. We arrived in plenty of time.
We flew first back to Nairobi, Kenya where we had a long layover and I had a chance to practice negotiating for purchases. From there we flew to Paris, France for another long layover. We had lunch in the airport and it cost about $50 for 3 sandwhichs, 2 desserts and 2 bottles of water. Then to Washington, where we had to rush through customs in order to make the next flight, back to Chicago! I arrived back on 8/12/07 in the evening. What a trip!
