I'm back!

Yes, its been quite a while... We've been travelling for months, and haven't had much access to the net until very recently, but we're finally settling down again.

We're back in South Africa now. Lots have changed in the years that we've been away. I'm having quite a hard time adjusting to the return. I've read about a thing they call 'reverse culture shock'...and it makes so much sense! When you move to another country you prepare yourself for the change, and you're aware of the culture shock that you'll experience. But, when you return you think you're going home, and don't prepare for the change.....and then Boom! Reverse culture shock.

Its sad, and a little ironic, that a place that should be 'home' is the place where I feel 'out of place'.....
