The End - Sort Of...

Its hard to believe, but we are now safe and sound back in Brooklyn. I found myself at jury duty in Long Island yesterday, and had the surreal experience of being nestled deep in American culture not 48 hours after we'd arrived. So what just happened these past eight weeks? What did I learn? How will we be effected by what we've done? To be honest, I'm not really sure yet - but I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have embarked on this adventure. You never know what's around the next bend...

A few things that surprised me:
- My wife is way tougher than I ever realized
- Kenya isn't all that cheap, it can be a challenging place for budget travelers
- Family bonds are stronger than time

And lastly, we want to thank a few people who helped us make this journey a reality:
>Nana - for her unexpected generosity
>Melanie - our superb housesitter
>Our Parents - for being so supportive
>Virginia - coming up from Philly to help us pack and taking us to the airport
>Tracy - loaning her backpack
>Dave - loaning his mosquito net
>Everyone who sent feedback about this blog...your encouragement made creating it a truly rewarding experience!
