Home?

I prefer to say back. Headed back to the states. Because really, home is where the heart is and my heart is with Judie. It's not that I don't love my family and friends in the states. It's just that I so miss the family I have here when I'm there. If I could divide myself in two... well, I can't.

Today is my last day in Nairobi. A quick sprinkle of rain came early this morning but now it's hot and sunny. I will run some errands and say goodbye to some friends today before heading to the airport with David around 7 p.m. My flight doesn't leave until 10:50 p.m. but the traffic is bad during the week... so it's better to be safe than sorry. I've had to run to catch the plane here before... it's no fun and with a bum ankle...

The ankle by the way is better, still multi-colored, but I can walk normally on it.

I'm not ready for the cold and the ice and the snow and the monotony of winter...

Leaving a bunch of stuff here makes me feel that I will be returning soon... one can hope. Now I know how Judie feels when I leave - there is a certain sense of melancholy that hangs in the air.

It's time to say goodbye again...
