That's all there is

It still seems strange that this chapter is over, but I'm glad to have the blog as a record of where I started and ended up. Thank you to everyone who has kept up with me and my adventures for the last couple of years. It's been a lot of fun keeping track of the experience for people who are genuinely interested and take the time to read about a corner of the world totally different than their own. Thanks. I won't be blogging here anymore, so for newcomers who want a re-cap, or readers who caught some but not all of the story, here are a few posts that, together, might make something of a summary.
