On the Way to the Airport

7-15-13

Good Afternoon from Kinshasa, 

I am boxed in by people and luggage in a crammed van, on a street on which we're boxed in by vehicles that are just as crowded. The car's air conditioning system is bringing in pollution, and I'm nervous that we're getting carbon monoxide poisoning. We're crawling to the airport, and we have left six and a half hours ahead of our departure case just in case of bad traffic. Thank goodness we did!
