On July 11, after two-and-a half months of roaming around Africa for the third time, I flew (via Lilongwe, Addis Ababa and Khartoum) from Lusaka to Cairo. 48 hours later I was on my way to JFK (via Rome and Milan). I spent 18 hours in the Tri-state Area. Then I was off to Seattle to meet my favorite boy for the first time. At 6am on July 21st, I flew to San Francisco for 24 hours and caught a showing of Batman: The Dark Knight, my third film in a real movie theatre in two years. Last night (twelve days after taking off from Lusaka, plus or minus whatever happens when you cross the international date line), I arrived in Beijing.
