He's home! He trudged off the plane in Albuquerque at about 7:30 on Saturday night. He was bleary eyed, stuffy headed (from a cold he'd caught on their last day) and completely exhausted. And yet, still a sight for sore eyes!
There's lots of stories and pictures to share. But, for now, I think his first priorities are family time and sleep! We laid down to take a nap after church yesterday afternoon at about 2:30 and he didn't wake up until after 7pm! Oops. He needed it desperately, though. The only drawback came at 3:30 this morning when he was wide awake. A little early to get up for work. But, he did get up and do all the laundry from his trip. What a wonderful man!
I'll let him pick some of his favorite photos and we'll post them soon. In the mean time, I know that he's very proud of this one...
This is the monastery at Petra. If you look closely, you can get an idea of its size. The little specks near the doorway are people! He's the only one from the group who got to see it. He skipped out on lunch that day and asked Bryan if he could "take off". He did, and hiked as far and fast as he could to get in the sights during his limited time. This, some spectacular views and a run-in with a small boy and his obstinate goat were his reward. Well worth it, if you ask Zach.
Thank you, again, to all of you. Your prayers helped bring him home safely!
