Returning Home

Well it was a long 8 month journey that filled up my passport and my memories. I had the most amazing experiences in Asia and met some fantastic people along the way.

But now it's time to get back to the 'real' world; which actually seems a little less real after seeing the impoverished conditions others live in. And I've quickly fallen victim - what I declined to pay to see dolphins in Cambodia, I paid for lunch today!
I'm still adjusting to the culture shock of returning home...

So here I am. Back in Montreal, moved into the same apartment, but different room. School has started; one more year! Victory lap baby. I had a very quick week at home (aka. Summerland)which was not long enough to relax, catch up, and get my life organized unfortunately. But I did get to see my first crane-sighting in town (not the birds, the ones used for building). This was a big development for Summerland as far as I'm concerned - 5 stories tall! I had a chance to visit with my brother and meet his girlfriend. Visits with grandma were somewhat sad and often funny - she thinks but doesn't worry, or so she tells us every 5 minutes! I'm very thankful that I was able to see her and that she could recognize me. She might be around for a while yet - that stubbornness gene hasn't mutated!

Well it's 3am and I can't sleep, so I thought I'd post some narcoleptic ramblings.
My travels are temporarily suspended, and school is back in order, so here seems to end my current blog. For all who read it, thank-you, and I hope you enjoyed it. I may still add a few more photos and stories to complete it - but that will depend on my procrastination level.

Hugs & misses to all!
xoxo
