Back in the States

Another wild trip concluded. This one was not nearly as cathartic as the first, but it certainly had it's moments. Perspective reigns over the epilogue, and the perspective that dominates is that I should, and very much do, be grateful and humble that I have the capability, resources, and fortune to make a trip such as this.
Perhaps next time I'll be more humble; then again, perhaps next time I won't catch the flu. But in either case, I'm happy to be home and have my life return to normal... for now.
