NO APRIL FOOLS' DAY JOKE

OK, so we're back in Washington, DC. No, this isn't an April Fools' Day joke. We promise!

Yesterday marked 365 days since we left to travel and volunteer our way around the world. Many miles...too many stories...lots of lessons learned...perhaps we'll wax on poetically about all that another time. 

For now, we're back home re-acclimating, cleaning house, and visiting with our parents who've come to visit. Earlier this afternoon, we joined a record crowd (45,274) for Opening Day at Nationals Stadium. Whoohoooo!! Go Nats!

For now, we're adjusting to sleeping in our own bed, to not getting lost every time we leave the house, and to sipping drinks with ice whose origin needs no inquiry.

If you're in DC, we really hope to catch up soon...particularly in case we leave again...in a few weeks...for a few months...or more. 

Oh yes, about the blog--as it happens, we are a few weeks behind, geographically, meaning the updates from Africa will continue for a while longer...next up, a safari in the Serengeti, a trek with gorillas in Uganda, and some quality time with fellow volunteers in Jinja.

And yes, we're still volunteering at least one day each week. As we like to remind each other...whether at home or far from it, there's always something you can do to help.
