Totally beat.

Back in Canada.

Hard to believe I'm here...

Toronto never felt so foreign.

Hard goodbyes w/ Cesar at the airport, uneventful flight, Rob picking me up at the Toronto end, stopped in to drop the stuff at the folks and chill with my brother un ratito and then out to Coffee Time for fluorescent/sterile chat ambience, now home and tired and feeling a bit odd and out of place.

Welcome to reverse culture shock. Sorta wishing I'd had that IISD debriefing.

Oh yeah, the big green Mexicana Air bag, borrowed last night from Laura and at the moment considered a miracle because I needed somewhere to pack all my extra stuff, exploded some time between my checking it in Mexico and my getting it back in TO all wrapped in plastic. I mean big gaping holes, contents hanging out... Oh well, could have been worse. They could have lost it. Hope I didn't lose anything too valuable, though.

I can only imagine...
reverse culture shock... get yoursef surrounded by the people you love in Toronto, try to spend the next few days re-experiencing the sites and places and foods you loved and missed over there. It will ease you into the reverse culture shock untill you're back at being a proper Canadian!

That's the plan...
Got the Rob/Beth/Andrew birthday party tonight, Marni's wedding on Sunday, and the Om festival (www.omfestival.com) next week, so all in all I should at least be able to keep busy for the next week or 2. I think leaving the house will probably help, too - haven't done that yet, since last night...
