Almost Home

- My sincere apologies for no updates the last two days of the trip. One of the endearing things about Congo is the "inconsistency" of such luxury items as electricity and internet - and we had almost none of either our last two days. We are in JFK now after a very long and occaisionally harrowing (got in a fight with the Director of migration in Congo on departure; almost werent allowed on the plane in LHR - meaning we would have been deported back to congo) trip.

Briefly - Joceline is now a US resident, and we are safely back in the land of the free (one thing you learn traveling is that while you may not be proud to be an American, as Catherine puts it, you are certainly grateful).

I only have 10 minutes before we have to catch our fourth and final flight home to Atlanta, so I will do the final trip update and photo/video links tomorrow. The teaser is escalators and moving sidewalks are hilarious to watch your Congolaise daughter on for the first time!

Til tomorrow...
