Actually the title of this post is a lie. I was not born in the USA, but coming back is still a real homecoming. I am currently at la casa fenbine, where I share surrogate daughter responsibilities with my sister. It is also a reassuring stop off before peace corps because the fen of Fenbines was Peace Corps Venezuela with my father. They have been amazonian river rafters, compatriots and good friends for longer than I've been alive. Its impressive and a strong reminder of the good things I can get out of this experience are worth it.
Now I am off to do battle with the bureacrats fo of the world. I have a machete to cut through red tape, so I have high hopes. The schedule for my stateside stay is DC today, Shepherdstown and Miami tomorrow, NYC on the 24th, and back to DC on the 27th. Turkmenistan on October 3.
Oh and Kenya had a promising start on the mail races. it took less than a week for a package to go from Nairobi to California. I will have to stop insulting the Kenyan postal system.
