In Four Weeks...

It is crazy how much we have grown accustomed to life in Guyana. The things we once found odd we live with and enjoy; the food, the music, the transportation. But, as we anticipate our visit home to the USA we are getting really, really, really excited about being able to see the people we miss, eat the food we miss, experience the media we don't have access to, and drive around on our own. So, we decided to make a list of some of the things we are looking forward to about our visit home so we don't forget anything, and so you can help us make them all happen. Feel free to take us out to dinner/drinks, cook for us, or otherwise spoil our poor, deprived Peace Corps selves. Love and thanks in advance!
