Many (or some, or none...) of you may have been wondering what's next for me and Tony. I wrote fairly consistently for over a year, and now have been silent for a few months. What's the deal? I'll let you in on a secret - coming home from our year abroad was tough. We've been doing lots of adjusting, and things are starting to be normal again.
As for now, I'm writing to you from Washington D.C. We came down here for a couple days to visit my bestie, and I've been pretending I'm back in Korea - we had Korean BBQ for dinner and bingsu for dessert, we visited a Korean-inspired café that serves lattes with artwork in the foam, and I bought some moisturizer at Korean skincare store Tonymoly. But another purpose of our visit to the District is that tomorrow we'll be on an early morning flight from Dulles on our way to Cape Town, South Africa! Since it seems we'll be stateside for a while (again, details to come...), we decided to gift one another an overseas vacation for Christmas. One last international tryst before we lead normal(ish) lives for a while.
Why South Africa? Well, for starters, it's summer there! They've got great diving, hiking, wineries, and of course, our friend Fallon lives there! We taught together overseas, but in March she left after 3+ years in Korea. Now we'll be seeing each other once more! Two weeks on the southern coast of Africa, and then we'll be home for the holidays, and maybe even ready for a white Christmas.
