There´s No Place Like Home

Back in sunny Portugal!!!
The trip back home was filled with beautiful landscape, new friendships, a lot of movies and some running to catch planes.
The shuttle trip was amazing, I enjoyed it, it gave me the time I needed to settle my ideas and to prepare my heart for the culture shock I was going to experience.
In the in betweeen there was still time to make a new friend. Not even with my headphones on and trying hard not to befriend anyone am I capable of not being social. I amaze myself.
My heart started longing for Africa the moment we left home, but in it I also felt this little pang of excitement about seeing my boyfriend, my friends, the ocean!
It was a lovely moment when we landed in Portugal, to see the ocean, the familiar places, the bridges. My heart felt glad even though I was trying to conceal it.
Seeing my friends and boyfriend at the airpot was also a good thing, I was shaking from all the missing and the longing and the missing and the longing.
The moment I landed and turned my phone on it started ringing and I was back to being a social butterfly. Some things never change.
We made it with only losing one bag, so that was good and I had a hard time trying to get back to my portuguese all I could think about was English and Swahili!
I guess I had missed my home here more than I ever thought, I missed my bed, and my cat. It was really nice to go into my nice tidy room in which I had not slept in two months.
I guess in more than one way I am happy to be here.
I guess slowly but surely I will get back into my routine, with only a few changes like waking up earlier to have my tea, and maybe having a few moments off in my day to contemplate the beauty around me.
Africa is carved in my heart, it will always be, my sould craves it, but the time to return is not now, or in a few months, but until I do, I have my memories to warm my heart and to make my sould glad.
There is no place like home! And home is where the heart is!
My only problem is my heart has a mind of it´s own!
Fot thr moment I am happy I am here, right now, for such a moment as this!
Oh the possibilities!!!!!

P.S. For a while I might not write anything do not worry, I will be back to my writing soon.
