Brussels, Belgium - what???

Right now I am sitting at the airport in Brussels. Why? Because the bad weather in Atlanta delayed us last night for three hours, forcing us to miss our connection. However, everything worked out. We went into the city for the afternoon to get some lunch and check out artisan markets. In Brussels, they speak mainly French and Dutch. Therefore, I've been speaking English only to my peers and French to everyone else. It's been very awesome and rewarding to know I can still speak French this well!

In a few minutes we will check into our next flight which will take us to Ethiopia. It will take twelve hours. After a 6 hour layover in Ethiopia, we will finally take off for Kampala. We have an addition to our group until we leave leave for Uganda. We met an 18 year old girl travelling alone to Rwanda. Her new flights would have originally taken her 3 other places before Rwanda. But we helped her get a new flight and let her tag along for the day. What a treat for everyone!
