Grand Adventure - heading home

I have to admit, I aam pretty sad today. I really don’t like leaving my husband behind in Africa. I’d much rather he was coming home with me. I understand why we chose to do our marriage this way, but it is super hard on both of us. Polaris broke down and cried a little last night as I was leaving for the airport. It warmed and hurt my heart at the same time. I don’t want my love to be sad, but I also love that he was vulnerable enough to show his emotions. The world needs more of that.

I am SO tired. I slept on the plane from Frankfort, but it wasn’t enough sleep. It’s really hard not to fall asleep right here in the airport. Maybe after my devices charge I will head off in one of the directions in search of food. Hopefully that will help me feel a little less tired and cranky. I still have another 4 hours until my flight back to the Pacific Northwest. Boo!

I really should have bought something at the little bakery I passed after I went through customs control (so weird to me that you get off of an international flight and have to go back through security like you magically ended up with contraband). I was too worried about finding my gate and making sure I didn’t get lost. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Hopefully I will be able to find something delicious….
