Maddy came home from South America last night. She seemed as glad to be home as we were to have her home.
Her plane arrived on time and we hoped to meet her as she left security although the official plan was to meet her at baggage claim. She didn’t have cell phone so we could connect if we missed her so I went to baggage claim while Barb and Max waited at the security exit. Barb and Max met her and I was a little late catching up but Maddy still gave me a big hug:
We waited and waited for her baggage. There was an accident on the tarmac and it was delayed. Finally the luggage starting showing up but her backpack wasn’t there. Barb check with the airline and found that it had come in on an earlier flight. We could have been on our way MUCH sooner. No matter. We had Maddy back in the states on time and that was the important part.
She brought home lots of stuff like native grown and processed chocolate, a necklace (worn by male leaders of the tribe), and demonstrated her blowgun for us:
Now I need to demonstrate to her how to use modern guns.
