2 weeks in America

My trip back to San Francisco and Minneapolis was great. Running along Marina Green and Chrissy Field, drinking wine in Sonoma, surfing in Santa Cruz, hiking at Big Basin, seeing my family, shopping with mom, catching up with good friends, and eating lots of great food especially sushi- I have nothing to complain about. One small luxury I realized I missed was being able to order soy lattes at coffee shops. The first shop I saw arriving into the States out of customs in D.C. was a Starbucks. I couldn't resist and ordered myself a tall soy latte. :)

6 months...

It's been quite busy for me between work and play. The month of April has just flown by and not only have I reached my 6 month anniversary here in South Africa, I am looking forward to my trip back "home" in a week. It's crazy how time passes. I am convinced that time goes faster as you grow older. I celebrated my 6 months by flying to Bloemfontein in the Free State for work (joke). Although Bloem is not really any place to brag about, I at least finally made it there and experienced being in the middle of the country. I think this was my record for shortest trip- Left at 3pm on Wednesday and returned 10am on Thursday.
