Well we made it safely to Ouagadougou. All of our luggage with the exception of one arrived with us. It was LInda and Courtney's clothes. We were very concerned about luggage. Our flight from Houston to Charlotte, NC was completely full and so room for carryon luggage was limited. They grabbed my carryon and checked it. I have had this happen before so no big deal. Normally it is waiting for me on the jet way when we land. However, this time my carryon was checked from Houston to Ouagadougou. It has all of our Burkina Faso money for the trip, my  laptop, Burkina phone, etc. To make things worse, it was not locked. I just knew that it would be opened and everything missing. That was not the case. We have everything.

We will leave for the village early in the morning, so we will be in limited contact.
