Back in the USA...
I have finally found some time to post my return to the United States. I arrived on September 6th but have had a whirlwind couple of days since then. I left Katima early in the morning on the 5th. Gary drove me about three hours to the airport in Livingstone, Zambia where I walked into my first air-conditioned room in two months. I promptly began coughing. I then flew to Johannesburg, South Africa. I wandered around the airport for some time and then boarded my plane bound for the States. I was lucky enough to not sit next to anyone and had four seats to myself for the 18 hour flight to Dulles via Dakar, Senegal.
Once I arrived at Dulles I met my teary eyed parents and sat down to breakfast and coffee. After a few hours of chatting I gave them my bags and they gave me another smaller bag. I then caught another plane to Atlanta. There I was picked up and driven to Augusta and played my part as a member of a "best-men team" for my friends' wedding. From Katima to Augusta I traveled for 41.5 hours. By the end I wasn't even tired but walked around in a sub-conscious fog. Anyone who would like to see the wedding can check it out on the Sundance Channel. My friends' planned an eco-friendly wedding. Sundance somehow got wind of this and filmed the wedding and its preparations for a documentary on eco-friendly weddings.
I hope people will continue to visit for the next couple of weeks as I post pictures and update people on some of the work I hope to do for the village here at home.
