We Made It!

Hey!

Its Asya again, we left Charlotte, NC Sunday evening arrived in Atlanta, GA Sunday night, arrived in Paris France Monday morning and finally arrived in Dakar Senegal that night.  Honestly it didn’t really dawn on me that we (My group and I) were in Africa until the plane began landing in Dakar, I admit that I became pretty emotional when that realization occurred to me.  I don’t take this opportunity for granted and I am aware of how lucky I am to be here.  Africa is the birth place of civilization, my ancestors were stolen from this continent, my history is here and I have many family members that have always dreamed of coming here one day.  I’m sure the lady that was sitting next to me on the plane was wondering why I was crying lol After I stepped off the plane and I inhaled the fresh air I looked around at all of the different faces and I was in awe the people over here are gorgeous, rich dark completions, strong facial bone structures, tall silhouettes, just beautiful!
