Back home

I'm back home now. I got back Saturday night right on schedule. The trip went perfectly. It was really long but I couldn't have asked for it to go more smoothly. I'm pretty much over the jet lag now, but I am still getting tired at 9 or so, which is early for me. I need to get over that soon.
I do miss Sierra Leone. I've had dreams about being in Africa the last 2 nights (only 1 was in SL). And I miss Chelsea. It was definately sad to leave.
I'm dealing okay with being at home. Most of the time it seems like I never left home, but every once in a while doing something makes me think of being in SL or how easy we have it here or just how different life in the US is. But that's good. I like that I think about Sierra Leone and I just hope I don't forget about it. Its just like the US and Sierra Leone are so different that they get compartmentalized and the second you're away from one you can hardly even remember what it was like.

Lindso I miss you too! Whenever you forget what it is like in Sierra Leone just eat a bowl of rice with some palm oil and a big ole fish head in it, oh and then go ask someone how de body? Love ya!

We could all learn a lot from you and your trip. About how much we take for granted--and the easy way we have it here. Thanks for the reminders. Glad you're home. Love ya'
