Thanks for your good wishes. my plight is pale in comparison with yours it seems. But I am so happy about the positive aspect of being an American! I think much of the world is looking at things more positively with Barrack Obama. I have had a few close calls myself with guns and things in Egypt and Uganda but never an actual encounter with rebels. Best of luck on the rest of the journey!
