"Every new beginning comes with some other beginning's end"
Well, I'm back in Cleveland! Sorry for not updating my last few weeks in Nigeria, but for some reason the internet was not letting me get on to my blog. Anyways, it was a jam packed month of trying to make sure my experience in Yola was complete.
I have been home for a week and it has been so wonderful to see my family again. Coming back was definitely a lot harder than leaving home. This voyage was such an adventure, I didn't know what was waiting for me. But coming home is coming back to everything that I know. I did miss some things, but I think I could easily go without in exchange for the mystery of the unknown and charm of the 'different'.
The hardest part so far has been trying to explain what life was really like in Yola. Pictures only go so far and it just seems so second nature in my mind, so it has been frustrating to find a way to express everything I want to about the past four months. But I'm working on it and my family has been extremely patient which has meant so much to me!
The strangest thing to get used to here is the order. There are traffic lights, checkout lines, things are just not very chaotic. I think that I got used to the freedom and now it seems ridiculously obnoxious to have to sit at a red light at an empty intersection. I've definitely grown patient after living in Yola, which was reaffirmed when my flights home got all jumbled up and delayed.
I'm gearing up for Argentina and I hope that being home for a month will be a good rest before heading back out into the world! I am going to put some pictures up on some sort of online album so I will fill you all in when I have the site up and going...
