june 16 to july 10...a lot has happened

access to internet proved far more difficult than we had imagined. i apologize for the scarcity of updates while we were in Nigeria, but as the weeks and months unfold and as things are processed, i hope that we'll be able to share that with you here.

we're back in Chicago now. i woke up this morning to CTA buses and the general orderliness of things. it's confusing. when we arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, i couldn't get over the neatness, the lines, and the choices. a trip to trader joe's with sarah proved a bit too overwhelmning...and boring...hah. i think i prefer buying my food from the person who grew it, in an INSANE market, with goats and chickens and yams and owkwa (the most delcicious "bread fruit" you've ever tasted) all around. it's good to be back, though.

i think i'm going to sleep a bit more, but i just wanted to say that we're back in the states and doing well.

i miss it very much and can't wait to return. there's a lot of good work to be done there, a lot of great people to do it with, and i hope that some of you will join us in it...we'll need all the help we can get!

i love you all and will update again soon, i promise!
