Home from the Warm Heart of Africa

Hello Everyone


I did it and I made it home in one piece.  I managed to go to Malawi all by myself and only landed a few cuts and bruises, two near death experiences, amazing friends, and great stories!


I arrived home on Monday!  After 30 hours of air travel, I made to Logan International Airport.  


As much as I did not want to return the closer I actually was to home, the more I wanted to just be there.  When I walked through the airport to baggage claim my family was there waiting for me.  My youngest brother Aidan even had a sign!  I love them all!





I almost forgot!  I was able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro from the plane!




I have been taking the last few days to get used to the culture shock I have been experiencing along with adjusting my body to all of the food I have not eaten the past three months.  Malawi was a life changing experience and something I will always remember doing! 


Thank you so much for following my blog for the past ten weeks.  I cannot tell you how much it meant to me.


To Mom, Dad, Connor, Trevor, and Aidan, thank you so much for al the support you showed me!  Wether it was the two minute phone calls, emails, or five minutes of on and off skype, it really meant a lot and made it feel like you were always with me, although I was miles away!  My trip to Malawi would not have happened if it was not for all of you.  I look forward to sharing more stories and pictures


Peace and Love
