hi to the few people that still check this site, and Happy New Year!

As most of you know, I have come back to the States in one piece. I am currently on a tour of the Eastern half of the United States to see my family and a few friends. I have not forgotten about this blog- I want to wrap it up for the time being with a post about my leaving Mozambique. I ahven’t been able to sit down fro more than a few minutes at a time and collect my thoughts on paper, but I have been able to talk about my experiences almost non-stop with the folks who I have been visiting, and they have been gracious enough to let me ramble for many minutes before tiring of my act.

I expect to be back in Florida by the beginning of March, at which point I will begin the job hunt and the processof reorganizing my life. Hope to see those of you who I have not yet gotten in contact with soon.

Take care!

PS- The Inauguration was cold but AWESOME!!! Obama will do us proud.
