I’ve just reached home and the water tastes so ambrosial! I didn’t realize how thoroughly I’d gotten used to the water filtered on base that had been sitting in a big plastic cube with chlorine in it. It also seems weird to be somewhere with whole buildings and wide lanes of traffic. I can’t wait to eat avocado toast and non-spicy pasta. I’m going to miss the people a lot—it’s amazing how much you bond living and working in such close contact with a group. Work the last couple of weeks was some of my favorite.
At the last minute I also raised enough money to be awarded a comfy All Hands and Hearts sweater, which was wonderful to have on our last sadly rainy chilly morning and on the flight home, as I’d left my only other warm thing out in the rain the night before. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me and the projects in Abaco with donations! I’ve arrived home much stronger, tanner, and generally better feeling than I was two months ago. In fact I enjoyed the work and the experience so much I am thinking of joining a project in Mexico. But for now I’m just really looking forward to getting rid of the heat rash on my back and using a flush toilet…
