home (wherever home is)

my life in the last 24 hours as documented by blip: goodbyes in zambia with my good friend baharrisoni, hellos with my daddy at the airport this mornning, fish and chips in my new patriotic tshirt this evening.

i moped around a bit today because i was too tired to do anything but not tired enough to nap. since i haven't had a uk summer since 2010 i thought i would make the most of the sun being out past 6pm and go out for a bike ride. wonderful.

it's always tempting to say which country i think is best, but the truth is that i love both. sure, i missed biking through the red dust with children chasing after me and shouting their usual 'how-are-you-i'm-fine' greetings. but it was nice to not face imminent death by snake / hideous pothole / horrendous driver / over-friendly drunk zambian.

it was nice to be out late in the evening and smell the beautiful wild garlic everywhere. delightful.
