Hi Parents and Supporters,
We arrived at Camp Ted at 1:30pm local time on Thursday! That's 7:30am for you guys back in Boston. The flight from Boston to London went smooth. When we arrived at Heathrow, we actually bumped into the Philadelphia team in the terminal, which made the transition easier. We shared the same flight to Lyon. We arrived in time to eat lunch at Champfleuri at around 2:00pm. The food was great and we had yogurt for desert.
At lunch, the director, Damien reminded us of our need to stay awake to fight jet lag, and that they had come up with a "fun" way to help us accomplish this. Yard work!!! Needless to say, despite a few groans, I'm proud to say our Boston kids put in a really good effort this afternoon. With only a few minutes of sleep on the two flights, they managed to clear underbrush, thorns, and small trees off a small hill this afternoon (2 hours of hard work!).
Pray that God will give all the campers, us and Philadelphia, an extra dose of sleep tonight so we wake up tomorrow refreshed and ready to go. Also, please lift up the team from Illinois. They had a flight cancellation. They are now flying in tomorrow morning and are having to spend all day today in the New York airport. I bet they'll be really tired.
Thanks for your love and support. It's great finally being here! I've uploaded multiple photos to a new Facebook album. You can expect some to be uploaded onto the blog later this week. Thanks!
