so - what do i do to quell my sadness over the non-existent spring? i think of summer of course! because heavens! what a summer it will be. let me share my excitement with ya'all...
as of june 15, toni and i will be in lusaka, zambia! yup! and from there, we spend 5 weeks making our way from friend to friend, country to country, in a full circular tour of southern africa, ending with a world cup match in south africa! ! ! ! could i be more thrilled? it's been two whole years since i've been in africa, and now i'm actually returning with toni! and just for fun - no work at all! how beautiful is that? UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL. please see photo below of cape town + new stadium if you needed further convincing:
and to cap it all off, we'll fly directly to zurich from johannesburg for 10 days with toni's cousins in the beauties of switzerland,
and to FURTHER cap it all off, i then head to the US for 2 weeks to meet mr. elliot and remind all the rest of my 15 beloved nieces and nephews that i still exist :) yay yay yay!
it sounds brilliant, no? and yes, i realize i'm spoiled rotten. (seriously.) (no, i mean seriously.) (can i count this as payoff from being thousands of miles away from everyone the other 10 months of year?)
ANYWAY - the big question remains: where will you be this summer? can we meet up somewhere along the way?

I'm envious of it all, especially the world cup bit :) Have fun!
sounds like your dreams come true! :) that stadium shot is super cool, and we can't wait to see you!
so glad youu're going to capetown and not joburg! i have always thought that it looked like such a beautiful city with the view of Table mtn. many of your siblings and siblingsinlaw are very jealous that you're going to the world cup. what a great summer for you - you deserve it! mom
oh love that's going to be the best! can't wait to hear your tales too!
awesome jooj! we are so excited for you and toni! also jealous that you get to end your journey with a world cup match in south africa. do take lots of pics for us so we can relive your trip vicariously.
I feel that technically Boston is on your way out west. So if you just wanted to parachute out for a quick visit I promise to fish you out of the harbor . . . just saying.
I just committed suicide from jealousy
Is it okay that in the title of your blog post i wanted to respond with "if only you would stop" - oh hugh laurie in S&S.
My friend Maggie has tried to convince me to bike with her from Cairo to Capetown...eee
You're going back to Africa! Huzzah!!!
