I really love being in Africa. There is something restless in my soul that is at peace here. I think, it may be the adventure of navigating routine in a very different world. I love it so much, I don't want to leave...which is part of the reason I just extended my stay until November 1st. A whole two weeks more. I won't make it back to the states until November 2nd, two days before the elections (strategically planned to minimize drama...partially.)

I hope no one is to insulted by this...but the only thing I really miss are the conversations with my dad about books, music and just living. That's what Skype is for. Right?
