Well, we've made it to Africa and the second phase of this crazy adventure has officially begun!

This is a post we meant to publish before we left the States but we lost track of time and, anyway, trust us, it means just as much - perhaps more - now that we're thousands of miles away. (7,269 miles, to be exact.)

As we look back on the last two and a half months, we are so grateful for the experiences we've had and everyone who helped along the way. Whether you offered us advice or somewhere to stay - thank you so very much!
