Culture shock, anyone?

We've been back stateside for a month already. Where does the time go? Clearly, blogging got to be a bit tedious during the tail end of the trip. It's hard to sit still long enough to post entries and photos when you're having the time of your life, but I plan on getting around to recapping the last month (eventually). It's easier to send people to this site when they inevitably ask, "How was South America?" than answer with, "It was really South American."

Jess has returned to DC, and I am now a resident of Atlanta, Hotlanta, Antlanta, whatever you want to call it. It's been a whirlwind, and I don't feel quite at home yet. One Monday I was in Lima. On Tuesday I was in Houston. On Wednesday I was in Georgia. I wasn't used to putting toilet paper in the toilet proper before I was thrown into the crazy traffic and pollution of the ATL. Oh yeah, and I started med school at Emory. Culture shock on all levels... Slowly but surely, the longing to be back on the road is subsiding as I carve out a new life in a new city. I need the summer to be over stat because this smog and 100F weather is driving me bonkers.

over and out,
