togo, here i come

This crazy week is finally over, and I've got the whole weekend off. Naturally, I'm going to get up around six tomorrow, jump in a bus and head to Togo. My friends Israel and Esther are getting married, and I have the privilege of not only being there to celebrate, but also being one of their wedding photographers.

I'm taking a borrowed camera, because that's the only kind I could find a flash for. I've got a visa in my passport, and I'm hoping the border guards don't notice that whoever put it there spelled my name wrong. The wedding is tomorrow afternoon, and we should make it on time, barring unforseen circumstances. Which, when I'm in the car, is exactly what you should be expecting.

This should be fun.

I'm so glad to be reading your amazing adventures again. I am excited to hear what you have to say about Togo...I sponsor a child there and it's such a small country that I haven't been able to learn much about it. Safe travels!

Togo?! Well, maybe you'll be excited to learn that our field service will be there next year! We just found out. So stick around, and you're sure to hear plenty of stories.

Just don't put your feet up on the dashboard.

Enjoy the wedding!
