I am home!

What a poor job updating this blog I've done! In short, the last five months were so uneventful I really didn't have much to write about. Sad, but true. I've returned to the USA and appreciate it much more than I had before. Be thankful everything you could ever want is not more than a few minutes drive from your current location. In Djibouti, the main mission for the day for an average Djiboutian is to find enough water to drink. Everything past that is just a bonus.

While an interesting experience, my greatest lesson learned is that I can accomplish far more from outside the government than from within it. Also, the average person really doesn't care about politics, skin color, etc., but just wants themselves and their families to make it through to the next day. A tiny fraction of the world population creates trouble for the gigantic majority. Someone should try and stop them . . .
