Last Night in Nigeria

Well, it's our last night in Nigeria. I am definitely sad, but also VERY anxious to be home. I have never been so ready to return as I am this time. I'm not sure why, but I think it's a variety of reasons. I am hoping so much that I can sleep tonight so that the marathon travel is not quite so miserable. It's just so hot that it's been hard to get much sleep at all since being here.

We had a going-away party at Queen's tonight. She invited some of her family and close friends over for dinner. We had quite a variety of Nigerian cuisine. It's always interesting. I have done more obligatory eating on this trip... I can't wait to eat without anyone watching how much and what I put on my plate!!!

The party was fun. We Americans wore our Nigerian outfits that Queen's friend made for us. They are awesome. Hot, but awesome. I don't know how these people wear all of this on a regular basis!

We went to another market today, as well as the pharmacy for medications for the people we saw in Onitsha. It's amazing how much medication we are able to buy with such little funds!

The market we went to today was another great experience. We got some more great things to bring home.

Thanks for checking in and please check back in a few days to see pictures. I promise to post them soon after I get home. I can't wait to share them!!! And thank you for all of your support and contributions to this effort. I hope you know that it has gone to a worthwhile cause.

Love,

Erin
