We are back in our home in Arequipa after an uneventful trip. No one even asked me if I had the proper paperwork to travel with my children! The memorial service went well. I hesitate to say it was 'great' as I can't find 'great' or 'super' in my adjective box at the moment. I decided that I don't like inflight movies much any more. Either they are romantic or someone dies, difficult subjects to watch at the moment. The Muppets Most Wanted didn't have either (Kermit and Miss Piggy didn't make me sigh) so it was the easiest to endure. So, tomorrow, Life 2.0 begins. I'll be busy getting the kids off to school, laundry and Ben's paperwork with immigrations which I need to get fast-tracked somehow, so I'll be distracted by things that need to be done. The kids go to school 15 minutes later than last quarter because of the cold. Yup. Gets down into the 40's some nights.
