Africa on Hold, Krakatoa Style

So mount Eyjafjallajökull, or whatever, started exploding again in Iceland. So two and a half hours into our flight the captain comes on and tells us to we’re turning around because Amsterdam airspace is now closed due to the smoke from the volcano. So we headed back and once we got back we called customer service. After being on hold for half an hour they booked us on the next available flight once they think Amsterdam will open back up again which is the 19th. So now I’m trapped in scenic Detroit for two days. Joy. There goes David and my one day vacation in Amsterdam.

*** Sidenote. I don’t think I mentioned David before. David’s my site partner this summer. He’ll be staying in the same parish house with me in Bugembe but working at a different school. He’s teaching computer class at Lakeview Secondary school which is about a half hour walk from the house, in the opposite direction from my school.***

Anyways until further notice I’m trapped in Detroit. Luckily my friend Ryan (cue the snickering from my friends at Notre Dame) lives in Detroit and had a place for me to sleep so I’m not in a hotel. Anyways I’ll keep you guys updated.
