Made it home safe and sound, and incredibly happy to be here. For the past week I've been experiencing an immense amount of culture shock, not only by returning to a first world country, but also by being surrounded by familiarity for the first time in months. My dad and I went to the cabin in Eastern Washington this weekend and every time I go there I am reminded of how lucky I am to have grown up amidst natural beauty. There are many pictures to show of my trip, and I will, I promise. I'm happy to be home but I know that in many ways I'm a different person than when I left. In a good way. It all feels very good.
