End of the Run

Well, I'm back from the ICOM, and have officially completed my crazy tour of around 5000 miles. Now I will be visiting family over the holidays and meeting with friends in the Illinois area. On the down side, the Midwest has once again managed to make me sick - literally. I'm not sure if it is the allergens, some weird local bug, or the fact that I always visit here at the end of a exhausting trip, but I seem to keep getting sick when I reach the Midwest.

The convention went well - I managed to not offend or horrify anyone with my workshop (I think), raise awareness of our work developing individuals and communities in Mozambique and elsewhere, and make contacts with a few other organizations that either we can help, or may be able to help us. All in all, a satisfying run.

Now if I can just get the sick out of my system, everything will be great heading into the holidays.
