Sorry to have been out of contact for the last few days, but I was completely without internet. As the wi-fi on my laptop is broken (I haven't gotten it fixed in part because I just never got around to it and in part because I can focus on my writing much better when I don't have Firefox luring me out of the corner of my eye), I wasn't able to move into a Starbucks or similar facility, either.

Alas.

But I am home. My head hurts, I'm tired, I feel queasy, and I can hardly keep my eyes open, let along think straight, but I am home. Back to my sacrosanct habits and routines and things that are safe and familiar. Parts of my trip were fun, parts weren't, and some parts were more on the eye-opening side.

I will be updating the blog more tomorrow. Er, later today. After a good sleep, some ibuprofen, and a couple cups of coffee.
