Gringo In Peru

If you read this on Thursday, I’ll likely be in the air.

We leave just after 8 a.m. and we’ll be back in Minnesota after 10 p.m.

We are almost home.

I’ve spent the day running around and trying to put the finishing touches on our suitcases. It’s a lot of packing, weighing and packing again. It’s hard to put almost two years of stuff (plus stuff for a person who’s not here yet) in five boxes. There’s a lot of packing and purging.

It’s hard to believe this day we’ve been waiting for is almost here. I know I’ve changed. How? I’m not sure yet. If you’re looking for some deep introspection about my life in Peru, I’m sorry. I’m not ready for that yet. It will come later after we adjust to life in the U.S.A. I do worry about possible reverse culture shock. Let’s be honest, we haven’t been in the U.S. for almost two years. That’s a long time.

Peru, you’ve been great. We’ll be back someday.

Goodbye.

I’ve got to pack.
