We arrived…and so did all our bags! We are all grateful that our journey here went very smoothly. In Chicago we opted to spend a few minutes of our lunchtime viewing the “Magic Bean” art installation (a feat of perspective painted on a concave surface to look as if it were painted on a flat surface). As our flight to Amsterdam neared its end, we were treated to a curved horizon sunrise, and just before landing we rode between two glorious, sundrenched layers of clouds. Amsterdam held tiny Dutch pancakes and stroopwafels for many of us. A little dehydrated and sleep deprived, but no worse for wear, we are all happy to have met Mark and snuggled into our rooms here in Johannesburg for the night. More tomorrow. Good night and happy Mother’s Day to all our moms!
