all in all i had a really relaxing trip back home...spending time with my family...margaret moments...watching the cricket with my dad and brother...reconnecting with some old friends...and their new babies!!!

i had a wonderful time at home, but it was good from another angle because it made me realise that my time in brazil is limited and re-motivated me to return to brazil and maximise the 20 months that i have left in south america...and for now, the sun set on redcliffe, but i will see it rise there again.
