This entry leaps forward to find me safely home in Maui. Our last day in the Capital was low key but interesting none the less. We visited (in)famous T. Square, and then went shopping along a broad pedestrian street nearby. Happily, there was also a Starbucks on said street:) It was in an awesome old historical building- as are most establishments along that road. But it was a fabulous place for an end of trip mocha!
I will post additional photos from the trip over the next week or two, however returning from the outreach means some closing paperwork etc. for me here at the base- so be patient. Even though my schedule upon returning is quite light, its difficult to settle in much with dozens of returned student girls from other outreach teams encamped on the floor of my home:)
But give it a week: this too shall pass.
My time in Asia already feels very long ago and far away. Perhaps this entry not flowing with smooth closure to the trip best represents the suddenness of leaving off at a lovely hotel in an ancient Capital and picking up in a chaotic old house in a hippie town on an island in the Pacific.
Its a bit of a leap.
