Wrapping it up

Ok, I realize that I can go on and on about Africa, the animals, and my impressions. However, since all of it cannot be verbalized and also for the sake of the few faithful readers of my blogs, this one must end. I am missing Africa, its tastes, sights, and richness of diversity. With all its poverty, disorganization, poor infrastructure and communication systems, there is something magnetic about it that inexplicably draws one to it. Even though I am definitely glad to be home (yay for TV and wireless internet), this trip has made a lasting impression on me. Now, back to work and everyday chores. Russia blog soon to come!

Thanks for reading and kwaheri (good-bye in Swahili). More pictures below.
