We made it home! We took a flight from Cape Town to Jo-berg, Jo-berg to Dakar, then to Washington DC, Denver and finally to PDX!!! We went through five check points, I got patted down twice, passed customs & declarations and watched 8 movies. We had one bottle of lotion blow up and sacrificed a checked bag to the airplane gods. Life is good. We will write again soon but right now we are just trying to fight to keep our eyes open.

Peace

Mateo and Beautiful
