great white north
January 10th, 2010
It’s only been a week since returning from Haiti and it already feels like forever thanks to the many degrees on the thermometer dropped, notes on lectures taken, and cups of coffee brewed. Landing in Syracuse, I understood for the first time why people could genuinely and repeatedly complain about the cold and blustery temperatures here in the winter –Christmas in Haiti’s balmy 90-degrees was just fine with me.
The adjustment didn’t take long though, as I soon shoveled out my driveway and de-iced my car for the drive to the family farm to see my newborn niece. Also, back once again in Syracuse continuing with classes, study-breaks have a new element of adventure as Chaco pulls her foolish owner on skis.
