Onward

Now we're back. I have a cold, and a deadline! I've spent the past 3 days holed up in our bedroom suite in Divonne, putting the finishing touches on suddenlyLISTEN's Canada Council operating grant application and napping when needed. It's both comforting and strange that I can't escape this piece of reality, of our other life. And it's nice that it's rained and been chilly since our return from sunny Morocco! My body is craving exercise, it feels like forever since I skied, and felt strong. In Morocco, everything was carried out at a strolling pace, because there was so much to take in, and because we were constantly dodging scooters, bikes, donkey carts and people in the narrow souks! Hopefully I can fit some running into our next stage of Euro time, I feel like it keeps me happy and disease free!

Tomorrow I mail the envelope at 9, and we immediately drive to Italy to begin the second half of this trip. We'll spend our first night in Monterosso Al Mare! I bet it won't be much like Africa....
