Scott - Home is...

It's not "Home is where you hang your hat," or "Home is where the heart is."
For me, it's "Home is where you get to wear clothes that weren't in Africa."

Using that definition, I finally got home yesterday, and boy was it a nice feeling! I started boarding at the house of a friend of a friend, and yesterday, I was finally sufficiently moved in to the house and out of storage that I could wear some of the clothes I left behind. It's really great having all my stuff unpacked in one place, and not feeling like a mooch.

Out of curiosity, has anyone else tried making nsima to show their family or friends? I tried it for one of my friends. It was bland and tasteless, so you'd think it would be perfect, but its texture just wasn't the right Play-Do consistency. Guess there's some things you just can't get out of Africa. (Amarula, on the other hand, is available in most fine liquor stores, and tastes just as good on this continent!)

Hope y'all are having fun!
