And we're back....

I've been terrible about keeping up with this blog but I'm back!  Recently, someone mentioned to me that they actually enjoyed reading my posts (go figure).  I intended this blog to chronicle my trip for my h.s. English teacher but I eventually kept her abreast via personal e-mails.  Nevertheless, it was also supposed to serve as my personal scrapbook/photo album/travel log of my trip...maybe even a book someday (all is not lost).


The clock on the right currently says that it's been 131 days since my return stateside.  Although the memories of my trip remain in my heart, the truth is the memories have aren't as fresh. I drafted about 10 blogs before I returned that I have not completed.  I'll use them as my roadmap to completing what I started.  My life has changed in some ways since I've returned and in other ways it's back to the same madness of big city American life.  

I'm creating an entirely new blog (feel free to subscribe) and keeping this one solely related to my South Africa experience.  One of my friends pointed out to me that I'm too secretive to have a successful blog that captures my thoughts (whatever that means).  Makes me want to rise to his challenge.  But I still have to master the art of the internet and blogging (stay tuned)!
