Home.

We're home! We're safe! I was the only person in our volunteer group to get sick - and boy, did I have 8 hours of hell followed by 1.5 days of recovery - but beyond that and a few minor physical complaints, we survived and got what we came for... a dose of reality, an experience of a lifetime, and a thread in the bond of our friendship that I think we'll be in awe of as the years roll on.

The travel blog will begin here this weekend; thanks for your patience so I can tell the tale well, and right - and thanks for tuning in.
