I'm Feeling Behind Already

You know how it feels when you are supposed to be in the lead and keep falling farther and farther behind? That's my feeling right now as I try to keep all the projects in the air and get ready to fly back in time to a country where in the interior villages bricks are still made by hand, the re-bars in buildings are bamboo rather than steel, and where there is electricity but no Internet access at this point. I am looking forward to observing a slower pace and connecting with people whose monthly income is less than we pay for a large latte. I am sure I will return changed in many ways. I will miss seeing you in November and I know I will fall behind in my technological skills while I deepen my understanding of another culture. I look forward to sharing some of my experiences when I return. Perhaps I will have the chance to blog during my London lay overs on both legs of my journey. I hope you all enjoy your upcoming holidays and time with family and friends. I will see you all in January.
