Out of Africa

Last night I left the continent for the first time since arriving.

That's nine months. I could have become someone's mommy in all that time. {{shiver}}

Departing is bittersweet and all but, man, did I need a dose of first-world problems (also known as live-action www.whitewhine.com). I turn to Wikipedia to some shed light:

Out of Africa is a 1985 romantic drama film starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Denys prefers the free, nomadic life of the Maasai tribe on the open landscape to [Karen's] European customs of luxury, ownership and titles.

Nine months into my trek, I'm equal parts Denys and Karen; I'll let you know which way I tip.

And if you find yourself in London or Indonesia or Berlin in the next thirty days, look a girl up.
