Your account of your time in Africa has been an awesome journey for me to read. Your Africa is becoming special to me as well through your writings. You need to write a book Kelli.

All is groovy in my corner of the world.

I spent 7 years in Central and West Africa. That was over 10 years ago now. I have a very different life in Colorado and am happy. I have really enjoyed reading your blog and remembering my years in Zaire and Cote d’Ivoire. You write well and things you say bring back lots of mostly good memories. I like the story of playing frisbee with the guys. I will keep your blog on my favorites list.

Oh it sounds wonderful! And I love that you were able to hang with the boys. Way to go! Boys need to see that girls are just as tough as they are.

Have a safe trip back home, and I am sure that I am not the only one who looks forward to seeing photos and for you to have more internet access again.

Like Lori, I always found assimilating back into Australian/Canadian/US culture much more difficult. Remember you are making an awesome contribution to the lives of many, many people.

I always found the culture shock much more difficult on the inbound. Here’s to frisbee, sewing, bagels and a comfy bed.

And we played Drip Drip Splash last week at GS Day camp – DDG but with a big wet sponge. That makes PE fun in hot ole Tempe.

Safe journey back, Kel! Peace & love! L

Here’s an idea to ease your transition… move to LA! Oh sure we have plenty of MTV girls, in fact the real ones from the “Hills.” But, I have also found that there is a place for everyone in LA. We have an awesome fabric district and it’s never that dang hot!! Just a thought. Good bagels on the other hand are kinda hard to find.

Your recent posts have been so heart-breaking that I’ve had to make sure I’ve been in the right frame of mind to read your blog. This one was a good surprise! It’s great to read about you enjoying your time there. I appreciate the other, harder to read posts too, don’t get me wrong- you’ve opened my eyes and taken me to an environment I’d never voluntarily visit. But I enjoyed this post!

Yep – don’t need college to get the basics done here! (Though it does help with the respect factor . . .)

Glad you’re having fun!
