JUST WONDERING

Just wondering ….
If sleeping without a mosquito net will ever seem normal
If we will ever be able to throw out a twist tie again - we have wanted one so often in Africa
If we will ever be able to believe we have the much of the real story about world events when we watch BBC, CNN , CBC etc,,,,
If we will be able to handle the shift in driving habits – we have learned some new sides to drive on – the right side, the left side, the best side, the Beside, and one more - the Coke side – the Beside refers when the road is so bad that we bounce along on the ‘shoulder’ on the left, the oncoming traffic is similarly bouncing on the ‘shoulder’ on the right and the pedestrians are walking down the middle – and this is a the highway…. Crazzzzzzyyyyyy! The Coke side is an advertisement – luring us to the Coke side whatever that is supposed to mean … Coca-Cola is every where and to be honored is to receive a soda pop….
If we will wonder who is slacking off when our vehicle is not automatically washed while we are asleep at a hotel
What it will feel like to push the button on the parking lot gate instead of seeing the smiling face of the gatekeeper
Just wondering ……if we will be able to return to Kenya again one day
Just wondering
Just hoping

I understand. I wonder if I'll remember how to drive at all regardless of which side!

We'll have you back anyday you know. Just let me know and there will be a room at MGH or my place waiting with your name on the door.
