I was welcomed back to Malongo by what feels like 99.9% humidity and 95F, which was a nice change from the cold, dry air back home. It’s safe to say that my 24-hour commute to work has officially become the norm. The past two trips I’ve been excited/anxious about getting on the plane with all my activities and getting cozy in my seat to prep for the 15-hour flight. This time I went to the airport in the equivalent of my PJs, boarded, sat down, put my neck pillow on, ate my dinner, pulled my eye mask down and went right to sleep – probably with my mouth open. Needless to say I was not excited about this trip. I had such a great time off that was jam packed with family and friends, and it just went by entirely too fast! On the up side, I did receive a warm welcome from all my co-workers that included a Saturday night dinner of fried alligator and alligator gumbo – clearly prepared by the coonasses in camp :) I had my doubts about alligator, but it was pretty tasty!
Arriving in camp on Saturday has it's perks, mainly that the next day (Sunday) is just a half day. It's especailly nice today because I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so I'm planning on taking 2 Benedryl and napping all afternoon! I promise I'll have more to share next week :)
2 days down, 29 to go! xoxo...
