Resting.

It is 9 pm and I am ready for bed - when did I become so pathetic?!?

Sorry all for the long time with the no post. It has been an amazing adventure so far and I am only three weeks in.

Mom - I am in good health. I had a slight reaction to the malaria drugs I was on and also managed to get a fairly unhappy burn on my leg from the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle, but other than that all is well. Don´t worry I am taking care of myself!

Africa was different than I imagined it to be, and the things I learned were different than what I thought I might learn. It was a most enlightening and wonderful time, but difficult at the same time. I am still processing everything. My favorite memories were spending time with the kids - playing football, teaching fractions, reading stories.

I made it to Wales, after a bittersweet goodbye to the team at Heathrow, overtired to be greeted by Cheryl, Camilla and Crista with smiles, treats from home, letters from friends and shopping at H&M. Wales was a bit of a blur, however we did visit some nice castles and of course enjoyed an evening in the local pub. Unfortunately we got a bit lost on our walk to the pub, but a nice English man drove all four of us squished in the back seat of his civic hatchback to the pub.

Then there was the unhappy flight to Tenerife, Canary Islands. We spent the night trying to sleep in the airport in Barcelona unsuccessfully. I have said that I am not one to sleep in train station, well now and am saying that I am also not one to sleep in airports (definitely one of the most unhappy nights I have spent in a long time). But we have arrive safely at our resort in Tenerife today to spend the day relaxing in the sun.

Love and miss you all. Thanks to my blog administrator for updating when I couldn´t. Picture to follow as soon as internet is not so expensive!
