You know you lived in Africa too long when....

• you get spooked by every crooked skinny thing on the ground, thinking it's a snake
  
• you get excited when you see a little bug in the car with you while driving because you haven't seen any in so long
• you have to frequently remind yourself which side of the street to drive on, especially when pulling out of a parking lot
• you stop and just stare in awe at all the granola bar choices at the grocery store
• you greet every sales person, whether in person or on the phone, with "Hello, how are you?" and are surprised when a long greeting process does not follow
• you are slow moving at the gas pump because you haven't had to pump your own gas in two years
  
• you keep waiting for your phone to tell you that it is out of airtime, forgetting that it's on a month-to-month contract
• you see a big wooden giraffe outside of an apartment complex and have to take a triple take, forgetting which continent you are on and that there is no way that it is real

Just a few of my transition challenges. :) All in all, things are going very well and I'm enjoying catching up with friends and family and getting reacquainted with America. More pictures and updates soon!
