Afri-Irony

I’m Home! Thanks so much to everyone who came to the airport. That was so overwhelming to see all you guys, and for everyone who was working, thanks for wanting to come. It’s so good to be back in ‘toon town. Driving is such a weird thing to do, I can drink water strait from the tap, I have instruments again, and it’s SO COLD HERE I love it!

In the Gambia constant water and power are such a luxury, our power was on under 50% of the time there, and I was looking forward to having constant power and Internet that actually worked really well. So last night I hopped on the computer to email some friends, and half way through typing the power to my house cut off. What are the odds that the one day that our power cuts off is two hours after I get of the plane from Gambia… It defiantly made me miss Gambia and my team a little less.

It was so weird to wake up this morning to my own room. One of my first thoughts was “I wonder if the team is up.” Even now, sitting alone in my room is the strangest thing after being with people 24-7 for the last seven weeks. To my team, I miss you lots, this is like permanent ‘head phone land’ : )

I bought a beautiful Djembe while in Gambia, and took the risk of shipping it home on the airlines. Unfortunately it came home in a few pieces, along with several other things in my luggage. Oh well, it still sort of makes noise, and it’s the memories that count after all.

I have an unbelievable amount of stories, and even more pictures. Anytime y’all want a piece of Africa, you know where to find me.

Till next time, keep your stick on the ice.
