Welcome to Abuja

My journey to Nigeria started Friday night.  At the airport I met up with Kate, a fellow CSC participant. After some mechanical difficulties, our flight finally departed and our adventure began.  We arrived in Frankfurt only to realize we had missed the one connection to Abuja for the day.  We re-booked though London and finally arrived early Sunday morning.  Lawrence greeted us at the airport and took us to our new home.  After some much needed rest, we met the rest of our CSC team, 13 in all, and took a brief city tour.  We were able to get a good feeling for the city, our work locations, and the neighborhood we will be living in for the next month.  We changed our money the "local" way and went to a fruit market.  In the evening, we met with our client for the first time.  Over some local Nigerian cuisine, we discussed our upcoming projects and how we could provide service in the coming weeks. Albeit exhausted, I am very excited to be here and to see what tomorrow brings.
