We are now stuck in Dakar, Senegal.  We caught the last flight out of Freetown late last night.  There are no Lufthansa Flights our of here--so we're stuck flying back to Nigeria for $700 or back to Atlanta for $1300.  We hate to waste money, but after our scary day yesterday we may opt to head home.  We're trying to touch base with the Campus Crusade leadership here and get a tour of the campus etc.  This is a French speaking, Muslim country.  We found a reasonable hotel and can hang for several days if needed.  Again, we are experiencing some privileges that most people can't. Our friends from yesterday's emergency had to spend those two days in the airport in Freetown-- no hotels, little food, etc.  Sadly, on of the ladies on our flight was so scared that she had a miscarriage...the ambulance(???) met her at the aircraft.  Fortunately, I've learned some things here to help Jody and Andy.  Jay
