Back at it?

There's nothing like a vacation to get you thinking about all the things you haven't done. Well... it's not really that simple. Our recent vacation (just got back last night) did a great job of getting us thinking about the things that matter - time together, time with friends and family, learning more about the world. But it did also get me thinking again about this blog.

As you know, our time in Khartoum got rather complicated towards the end. I stopped writing not because I didn't have more to say, but because my experiences felt too complex for words. And that was coupled with an increasingly strict security regimen which kept us closer to home much more of the time. I started to joke that the only travels/experiences worth writing about for those last months in Sudan were the "inner journeys" through the thoughts/memories/reflections/imagination in my head.

But that's time gone by. Since then we've spent most of a year in Washington, DC and now almost 8 months in the beautiful Montreal! We have new vacation photos to share and so many "Montreal Moments" (those things that happen here that are so wacky and funny or strange that it could only be in Montreal) that we should be set with fuel for posting... But we'll see. It's all about how disciplined I can be with my time now....
