Day 1 (June 15) - Arrival in Ouagadougou

After 28 hours of travel, we arrived in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso. Kevin and Toby Hull picked us up and took us to the CMA guest house. We were heavily loaded as we navigated the streets which were FULL of motos (Ouaga is per capita the moto capital of the world!). 2 million people call Ouaga home and it is growing like crazy (with no city planning). It is a different world. We were struck by how many people were selling things everywhere on the streets just trying to get by. The guest house was great and we had a wonderful lasagna dinner. Kevin & Toby were gracious hosts. We prayed together and got to bed. We were all tired. We got up early and began the long drive to Bobo-Dioulasso.

Chad helps load up our overloaded van.

Moto capital of the world!

Hangin' out at the guest house after a long day (or two) of travel.
