May 19 - After getting up around 5 to do some final packing, Grandma and Grandpa Diepenhorst arrived to take us to Gerald R For airport in GR. We went through security without a hitch. The flight lasted around 30 minutes and we arrived in Chicago to meet our flight to Washington around 9. We spent the day as tourists downtown Washington. We walked around and saw the Washington Monument which sadly was under construction! We also saw the WW II Memorial, the reflecting pool, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Smithsonian Castle and Gardens, and Lincoln Memorial. Afterwards we returned to the Embassy hotel.
May 20 - As of right now we are sitting on the airport as people are sitting to drift into our plane. We will be flying from Washington to Rome (refill on gas), and then to Addis. The flight will take around 13 hours, an that means when we arrive it will be 12:30 am for us and 7:30 am for the people in Ethiopia. It's going to be a long two days!
We will update with more details tomorrow!
