Our Journey Home . . .

One of my favorite things with the Africa Mercy is that crew say "Good-bye!" and as we left last Thursday, this group not only said "Good-bye" at the bottom of the gangway, but then they raced down to the end of  the dock so they could say "Good-bye" one more time!

Some of them look pretty happy to see us go!
And so began our journey to the ferry . . . Note:  This was a "good" traffic day!

There is traffic coming from the other direction!

Need any last minute purchases?

Woah - glad  we didn't turn that way!

We walked on board the ferry . . .

Sailed past Freetown . . . 

And the good ship Mercy!

To the end of the road that brought us to the airport!

And so it was with great sadness that we left Sierra Leone last Thursday and began our journey home.  To everyone back on the ship, American Airlines served us pizza Friday night!  Did you get yours Thursday?  To everyone who prayed, while our flights were crowded, they were also smooth and on time (except for Chicago to Minneapolis, eh, Jana?)  Thank you for sharing our blog and our time with Mercy Ships.  We'll send out an "end of service" report soon!  In the meantime, we're reverting back to e-mails and ending this blog (we think)!  Catch us back at 3mszupke@frontier.com.  Hugs . . . Margo (:
