Hello to anyone who may still be faithfully haunting these pages.
We have good news for you, we have downloaded, uploaded and organized our pictures and videos.
So, you can see, as we did, things like Iguazu Falls straddling the borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay:
Or Gaucho drummers and dancers in Northern Argentina:

And over at http://flickr.com/photos/rhia/collections/72157603384554677/ you can peruse our full collection of photos, organized by country and city...if you have a couple months to spare yourselves.

So, we've been back for most of a month now. I've been working odd hours and finding it hard to get into a routine, but I think part of the reason we want to travel is to break out of routine, so that's not a bad thing.
After carrying all we needed on our backs for two months, we now find our apartment overwhelmingly full of stuff and our drawers and closets crammed with more clothes than we can wear. We're making an effort to pare it all down.
Pumpkin, our cat, hid for about an hour after we walked back into our apartment, but he's been more affectionate than ever since then.
The snow and cold arrived in Halifax with us, and I don't mind that one bit--I enjoy the changing seasons.
So, Christmas is almost here and we're feeling especially blessed this year. Rhia and I both have good work, a sturdy home we love and the prospect to soon get a place of our own. We're no Conrad Blacks (thank goodness), but after seeing how hard so many people work for the little they have, and the pride so many take in it, we feel very wealthy.
Even here at home, where in the last few days I've been writing about local people experiencing awful diseased, tragic deaths and unimaginable violence, we are ever grateful for our family, our friends and our good health.
We're home for a while now, but we'll be happy to share tales from the road whenever you like, and encourage you to hit the road yourselves. There are a lot of amazing and beautiful things out there, and wonderful people all over.
We wish you hope, peace, joy and love now and in 2008.
--John
