Brief Stay in London

We landed at London Heathrow airport after a very easy 6.5 hour flight! Of course, I had to take a picture of an airport vending machine in the ladies room as one of my first examples of public health: condoms along with tic tacs and feminine hygiene products ranging in price from approximate $1.50 to  $4.50! 



We were fed well on the plane (a light snack of a drink and pretzels; then a very good dinner of tomatoes and mozarella, beef, gnocchi, haricot verts, a roll, and passion fruit custard; and a breakfast of coffee/tea, a snack bar, and a croissant). I occupied my flight time by watching movies and napping. 





Our dear friend picked us up from the airport and is kind enough to host us overnight at his lovely home. He even cooked us a delicious lunch of curry chicken, plantains, and rice. We are on our way to a Nigerian restaurant for dinner. Happy Thanksgiving! 



We head to Accra, Ghana tomorrow for my DePaul University "Global Learning Experience" collaborative work to begin with Dr. Richmond Aryeetey, Professor at the Univeristy of Ghana-Legon, School of Public Health.
