home

a sunday later from the last post, and i'm sitting in my living room in dc typing once again. it's odd to think that yesterday i was in the gambia, this morning around one am i was in senegal, and now i'm home in dc. while the return trip fared better with regard to my luggage (i have all pieces), there was an overbooking issue with delta in senegal but luckily i was able to be transfered to a south african flight to dulles (which in turn actually meant one less flight and an earlier arrival).

and like any american, i've already been to starbucks. hah. that is funny-heimy wanted coffee and breakfast. i tell you: walking the streets of dc felt like home but definitely had a different feel after walking in africa. and i was thankful of walking in and out of the bathroom with fully equipped power and plumbing. ah to note those differences.

i'm glad i am back safely, although i feel like i'm in this odd time warp and there is so much more to write, that i have an exciting task ahead of me. and now i can look and share my pictures too (i'm trying to get the videos to upload as well).

later. sleep first. :)

Starbucks!!!! That must have seemed like heaven. I too am glad you are back safe and sound - I didn't sleep much last night thinking about you. I can't wait to hear more stories about your adventure.
Love,

you better have gotten compensated for being bumped. can't wait to hear about your experience on SA airlines. and maybe about your whole trip to africa. but mainly about the travel part.
