Well, I’ve been home for a few hours now, and it is sort of nice to be back in familiar surroundings. I checked out my apartment and its still dusty AND the cat is still alive. I switched on the news (the first time I watched TV since I left) and the breaking story was about a lady getting shot at a nursing home, so the news is the same. I checked my email for work and I’m still employed and it looks like everything there is pretty much the same. I went and picked up my mail and dropped off my film and everything seems exactly the same, and thats not a bad thing. However, something has changed… ME. I havent been home long enough to say exactly what or how, but I know that I’m not the same person I was before this trip.

I’ve had the wonderful priviledge of seeing many countries in the past years (since I got married to Ben, actually) but South Africa has to be one of the most beautiful countries on the face of the earth. Its lush and green. The coastlines are breathtakingly beautiful. The sky and the sea and clear. Just beautiful.
