wrapping things up

So I'm home. Flights home were ok besides the fact that I lost a bag in the gong show that was the Nairobi airport. Probably wont get it back, but its ok.

My last days in Africa were pretty good, same old routine more or less.

The last weekend, we decided to do something big, so we made the big trip again to Dar es Salaam, but instead of going to a seder, we went and saw 50 Cent. It was absolutely insane. When he came on, a riot broke out; people were throwing chairs everywhere, people were all types of assaulted and violated. I saw many people leaving in tears. The show was cool and hilarious though as soon as I re-met up with the girls. They had to escape from the front row by punching and elbowing their way through the crowd.

The rest of the week was good. I said goodbye to my kids, which was sad, but it was definitely time to leave.

This year has been incredible. I'm really proud of the job Becky, Rachel, and I did with everything. I can honestly say everything worked out and that we all left this trip happy, if not pretty tired. That means a lot.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed reading this. I'm glad I could keep people semi-informed. See you around.
