Coming Home / Mar 3

After a few days visiting in tropical Toronto, we've made it home.  But what's with the snow?  We should have stayed away a bit longer!

Thanks to all who helped us with advice and for all the comments and e-mail we received along the way.

Now it's laundry time, sorting the mail and trying the remember where stuff is.

After living out of bags for the last four months it's a treat to wear something different.

If we had visited colder climates we'd need more stuff, but it's been shorts and tee-shirts for the most part.

You might be asking about the highlights of our trip.  There were many but some stand out.

• First realizing what we were doing probably kicked in Capetown.

• Meeting lots of great people.

• Sitting by a waterhole in Namibia at night watching the animals slowly and cautiously approach.
