Back in the U.S.S.A.

Okay, okay, I'm back!

We got back Monday morning--we were on the first ever non-stop commercial flight from Joburg to JFK. It was a really smooth and easy flight. When we arrived the NYC fire department hosed down the plane in celebration (or maybe we were on fire).

It is really weird to be here. I guess we just moved to a new place so that is normal. I've noticed people are kind of mean in America and do not say hello. I'm overstimulated by all the people and hullabaloo. I'm starting to get over my jetlag though 9:30 seems like a reasonable bedtime (and maybe it is).

I still need to post seder photos and a few others, so this space will remain operative for the time being. Don't change the channel.

Give me a call if you want to hang out. I don't have a phone, though. So maybe email.

8.5 hours left in Botswana

Eeeeeep.

Yesterday we spent packing, saying goodbyes, going on a combi ride to nowhere so A could experience the thrill that is combi riding, and trying to soak in whatever was left to be soaked in.

The goodbyes were no fun. It's hard to say goodbye to people you think you may never see again.

Today it feels like we've been here no time at all.
