almost over :(

This was my Falls Creek B trek.. We had an interesting week but it definitely reminded us that flexibility is the key. We started out in South Acton doing more cheer clinics but on the second day we got a call saying it was cancelled for the rest of the week. What to do? Well, we joined up with the Limehouse team who was working with Charles at Departure cafe and promoted the art show that was happening that weekend. We got out into the community and cleaned up the youth center one day and we went into the parks and got to talk to a lot of people. I got sick for two of the days and had to stay home but I heard great stories from my team :)

We left London on yesterday morning to take a two hour train ride to Paris for some debrief time. Basically what we're doing here is doing some paperwork.. filling out evaluations for our teams, saying what worked well and what didn't work so well and focusing on re-integrating into American culture. Reverse culture shock isn't something you think about too much when going on a trip but it is a big deal when you've adapted to something totally different for 5 weeks. It is more likely to be harder going back home if it was easy to adjust to life in London they say.. it sounds about right. I just have to remember not to get frustrated at the things America does differently and enjoy the things that I missed :)
