Safe and sound

I just arrived this afternoon safe and sound in Toronto. The flights were very usual, no great
turbulence or anything. I am just so thankful for the opportunity I have to back here to visit my family and friends. I met a guy at Paris who was heading home from another West African county. We talked about culture shock and he confirmed, what many say, that sometimes coming back to the West is worse than leaving. Well it has only been a few hours for me, so I do not sense much yet, other than that the internet is super fast and I am overloaded by all that I can do at once, but that really is a good thing! Well I will try to give a few entries on my home leave, but as it seems I may be busier here than out in the field!
