For a quick update as to my whereabouts on a stormy Sunday afternoon: I returned to my hometown of Jackson, MS on Tuesday night after saying a sad goodbye to my lovely Ecuadorian hosts (and a not so sad goodbye to the little critters I slept with each night). The return trip was 16 hours as I first flew to Miami where upon landing I immediately burst into tears - not sure if it was due to being happy or sad about returning, but nevertheless I was certainly a pathetic sight as I sat there wedged in between two complete strangers trying my darndest to clear my eyes and look "normal." After going through immigration and being readmitted into the good ole U S of A, I boarded a train for an hour long trip to the Ft. Lauderdale airport where I entertained myself by eating Dunkin Donuts and reading The New York Times during my 4 hour layover. After what seemed like forever, I boarded a plane for Atlanta, waited around another hour and FINALLY made my way to Jackson and the waiting arms of Susan around 11:30 PM. Talk about an exhausting day!
Since returning to the comfy coziness of my dad's house, I have caught up with old friends, battled the intestinal blues (appears some little critters made their way through immigration wiht me:(), made tentative plans for the next month and thought about packing my backs for my next adventure. Tonight, I will head to my mom's house in Oxford, MS, and then onward I go to North Carolina to begin working at the NOC on Thursday. Looking forward to being back in the mountains - hiking, biking, eating Becki's pasta salad, Della's hummus, and homemade cookies fresh from the oven. Come visit:)! VIVA!
