Bless the rainsdown in Africa...

Today while laying in my tent listening to the rain pitter-patter on the tent roof I finally began to understand the allure travel to Africa has held for foreigners over the years. The ability to be in such a completely foreign place yet feel at home is exceedingly difficult to describe. The people have been wonderful and the scenery is breathtaking, especially the sunsets. I think that perhaps the most difficult part of returning home is the knowledge that my stories and descriptions and photos will be thoroughly inadequate in explaining the true experience that this trip has been. Only those of us who have been here and present for it will truly understand what it is like.
