I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

"Say Goodbye" or "Out of Africa"


Said goodbye to Dave and Connor this morning, shut the door, and felt a bit emotional as I turned around. Don't know why this caught me by surprise as I am certainly an emotional person that gets attached easily. I think it really just marked the end of my trip.

There is this song by Akron/Family called "Ed is a Portal" and in the middle they just repeat these lyrics:
To all of the places that I have known
To all of the places that I have known
To all of the places that I have known
To all of the places that I have known!

God, I love that song.
I have been affected a little by everywhere I have been and lived.
I'm happy to say I feel that I have known Bungoma, even if only for these 2 weeks.

I'm about to get on the bus for a trip that will likely take me over 30 hours in total to complete.
Worth it.

This is me, Africa-style.
