I have reached the other side!
In the Toronto airport! I just got carded when I ordered a drink and I am looking at a Tim Horten’s restaurant! Now that I am here and home I realize that ten months is along time to be away! I feel the reverse culture shock will be an interesting process. When the Canadian customs officers wanted to check my lap top and open my bag I realized that “Dorothy, we aren’t in the Middle East anymore !”
