One Serioiusly LONG Gotcha Day!

Our day started early by leaving the hotel at 5:30am for our 7:20 flight.  What we didn't know until we arrived was that our flight was delayed until noon.  (There had been some bad weather during the night)
So we found a Starbucks and waited somewhat patiently.  We knew that the director would be coming with Johanna from almost 8 hours away.  We finally got on the plane at 1:00 and took off about 2:00pm.  As we boarded the plane a man stood giving out about $50 each for the trouble. 

Once we got to Johanna's province our guide told us that the director has been stuck in traffic all day.  There was an international marathon today and it blocked up traffic for miles and hours. 

So we got some dinner, went to the grocery store for water and snacks, and waited, and waited, and waited.  The waiting in our room wouldn't be so bad if we werent all trying to keep our eyes open.  And we all had such butterflies in our stomach wondering what she is going to be like.

Finally about  10:15 pm we heard a knock at the door.  And when Johanna was brought in, we were overwhelmed.  Overwhelmed with Joy, Thanksgiving to our God in Heaven and with her sheer cuteness. 

Now that it's 1am, I better get some sleep.  It's been a long travel day for everyone.  BUt definitely a day we will never forget.
