Well, these first two pics are of us sitting in the posh Wichita airport--known to travel afficionados as ICT. Lots of people came to see us off on our many hours (Don't ask, I haven't figured it out with all the time changes:) of flying to Burundi for the 75th Anniversary Celebration of Friends ministry in that country. Our flight was in the afternoon from Wichita to Chicago, then a layover and on to London. This being a first international flight for some, it was hard to know when to eat and when to wait. Who would think you would get on a plane at 9 at night and be served supper two hours later? Crazy, but I did like the hot towel service!
We had a layover in London long enough to ride the tubes to the Tower of London and barely make it back for our flight... So here is the London Bridge, and below you will find one of the world's most expensive bottles of water. I figured any warm bottle of water that costs me 1 pound 50 (translate to roughly $3) and fits in the palm of my hand is picture-worthy!
