So happy to get an email from Marlow from her hotel in Ouagadougou today. Long flights (but she is used to that between her numerous Tampa to London flights and many long haul flights to other countries).
Knowing that she is now in Burkina Faso is a huge relief. Not because of silly flying/travel concerns but because that's where she wanted to be and has worked so hard to be. I was anxious to know that she had taken that first step off the plane in Ouaga.
As an aside, I had forgotten how much better I felt when Marlow let me know that she had arrived in Ghana when she was a Humanitarian Rights volunteer in the summer of 2009 http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article1022761.ece
So, a good day for this PCV mum just to know that Marlow has arrived in Burkina but paradoxically is now able to truly start her journey.
