4 days home, and I miss Africa. I miss the people I met, I miss learning and seeing new things, I miss being able to help, I miss the energy of the girls, I just miss it. I guess what 'they' say is true, you either love Africa or you hate Africa! Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be home to all that is familiar, to my family & my friends, to my life here, but processing the whole trip is tough. Finding perspective when I have been, only by luck of the draw, born into one of the richest nations in the world, and my new friends, by that same luck of the draw, have been born into one of the poorest. Where is fair in that? That is where my head is at processing all the things I saw, heard, learned and experienced. This trip was so rich, there is so much to share, I had hoped to be able to write more while I was there, but I was too busy living the experience. So now I will write in retrospect, picking pieces from my journal, adding a few of the 1000+ photos & fill you in on all of the adventures. I hope you enjoy it just the same.
