EP3: 'Please, Lord, Give Me Milk !'
georgiapeach:
Okay..time for the next theory!
The Flight into Ouagadougou doesn't arrive until about 5 I think? And all teams must be on it or have to wait till the next day for another flight.
Since I think it is too risky for them to travel very far that night --what about if the task actually was nearby and occured at night?
We have the shot of the 3 girls in the dark--and we have the web clue which references hip shaking....
--- Quote ---PLEASE LORD, GIVE ME MILK!
The severe pain of a hernia attacks one Racer at the worst time as one of the older men on the Race falls under the spell of two young, feisty, hip-shaking female Racers. Struggling at a Roadblock, one panicking Racer drops to her knees in tears while her Teammate helplessly looks on.

So what if there is some sort of a tribal dancing task?
This video labelled Masks of Wolokoton and Desso Burkina Faso shows some masked dancers--and we still have to fit in our masks from the original vidcaps.
And look for the pink haired dancer--the goths are gonna fit right in here! :lol:

Peach,
The scheduled flight arrival is 740pm and given the distance I can't imagine them being very early. Given the position of Ouagadougou right at the eastern end of the Prime Meridian time zone (Niamey is in the Continental time zone), it is going to have early sunsets, so I think it will be dark before the time teams arrive at the airport. Also, it is close to the Equator, which would argue for year-round 12 to 13 hour days. The official sunrise/sunset tables show sunrise on July 13 for 549am and sunset at 636pm.

Okay, now I am confused. I took that arrival time straight from the missionaries blog:
They also very kindly gave us a weather report:
--- Quote ---We are happy to report that we and the Johnsons made it to Burkina Faso at around 5pm local time on Friday (1PM on the east coast). It was in the mid 90’s and very humid. .......We, ... were able to sleep in this morning.( 7/14) Then we had a great rain that cooled things down, so the heat hasn’t been too bad yet. Thank you so much for all your prayers.

Also looked back--Chateau's original flight info has the arrival time scheduled for 4:35 (interestingly, the plane also stopped in Niamey on the way down!). Is this just a case of funky hard to figure out retrospective times? I t isn't a whole different flight is it cause that would be interesting! ???

I wish I could see the pictures, but alas, I cannot - only a few. Any ideas why? Do they require some program I don't have?
