Post Script
Back home and it's weird I must say. My travels were a bit more than I expected, having been caught in the web of confusion and doubt from leaving. When arriving at Nyumbani, you'd never thing it would be so hard to leave. Seeing the smile on my moms face after arriving at the airport did make things a bit better, and spending time with her may have been the only thing keeping a smile on my face. You'd think the smooth roads, hot showers, good food, etc. would all make things seem better, instead its the contrary. Strange. Spending time with family is however, priceless. Being home with my mom, seeing Ella, surprising my brother at his new house, seeing how Madelyn has grown and seeing Anabelle for the first time are all reasons I knew I wanted to come home. Leaving college, leaving Kenya, then leaving De Pere, why do I keep doing this to myself. In life, there are no real goodbyes with friends and family but it sure is an emotional struggle to leave ones that you love.
Thank you for embarking on the journey of a life time with me, your support has guided me and kept me smiling. Im not sure if I will continue with the blog, maybe more so as I taste the exoctic fruits of life. When (and if) I do get a job I will update you and there isnt a doubt in my mind that I will be back to Kenya, so I will update you on that as well. The student loan papers were waiting for me when I got home, so it may be a bit before my budget balances out, but I'll be sure that Nyumbani is on the top of my list.
It is my honest hope that all of you have taken something away from my writing, I do it quickly (and sometimes without revisions because of time crunching), but I do it with heart. I hope that I can soon be reading about adventures on you adventure of a life time.
peace and love.

Hi
I hope you dont mind that I wandered onto your blog a while back and became enthralled. We dont know each other at all, but I have loved reading about your experiences because they are so similar to mine when I was in Uganda. The experiences you had there will stay with you forever and influence every aspect of your life, at least thats what happened to me.
I know what you mean when you say you should have been comforted, but were not, by being home with the warm showers and instant meals and all the conveniences that americans seem to take for granted. I know when I came home I felt so selfish that I was enjoying so much when the people and children I loved had so little. It was hard for me to fake a smile and tell people I was happy to be home. I also felt some guilt when I left the orphanage I had been volunteering at for 5 months, feeling like I was doing the same thing that I hated those kids' parents for doing: leaving. So I always tell myself that that I will always come back. I have gone back to Uganda two more times since I first went in 2002. Each time I had to just keep telling myself to do whatever I could in the time that I had there, I cannot save them all. I dont think I could ever not go back.
Anyways I want to say thank you for sharing your experiences with the world and with me. It has helped me feel that much closer to my "home" in Uganda. Good luck with everything in your life and I hope you are able to go back to Kenya, too!
Thanks
This is a wonderful post and it has been an interesting journey to take along with you do keep posting at least every once in a while.
Anna! I am sad to see your blog come to an end. I suspect that when you get to DC that you might be willing to give us an insider's look at Washington - "from the heart". Welcome home, rest up and get ready for your next adventure!
Go in peace.
Love,
Mrs. Nic

Muy interesante tu blog sobre africa,un saludo desde espaƱa
Thank you for writing. I've enjoyed reading about your experiences and hope someday to see Kenya and other parts of Africa.
I'm about to return home to the USA as well and as with each trip I am excited to see family and friends but not looking forward to the vanity of my home country.
Best wishes and I hope you'll post on here with a link to your blog when you resume your next adventure.
Cheers,

When we follow for our dreams, we can make other impression that we are miserable and unhappy. But it is not important what other people think. It is important to the joy in our hearts.
