We spent a wonderful if busy 4 weeks in the States with family. I wish we could have only had a bit more chill time. We spent a lot of time driving unfortunately from one house to the next for meal times. We ate a lot, talked a lot, catching up on news and packing in all the goodies before we returned to the land of rice and curry.
Didn't take too many photos especially since this is a new camera bought just before New Years. We spent New Years Eve in the Hollow sans electricity, keeping warm by the bonfire. Deb came for a visit from the South, I hope I didn't freeze her that night sleeping in the camper. And we had one more day with Tanya in downtown DC. Thank so much for making the effort to meet up even though it was brief.
The cold was an unpleasant jolt back into the modern world. Putting on all those layers takes a lot more coordination in the morning. Shopping was fun, as we imagined all the things we could take back to help us unwind back in Sri Lanka. (Food, books, Wii). Though we didn't end up getting the Wii.
