A Few Things We Look Forward to Back in the U.S.A.
April 13, 1988

• Seeing our families
• Turning on a hot water tap and getting hot water
• Taking a hot bath
• Getting on a scale that's in pounds, not kilos or stones
• Reading newspapers in English
• Visiting a good bookstore and seeing what's new
• Being served ice water with meals
• Eating frozen yogurt
• Making long-distance phone calls (see photo for what we sometimes found in Africa when we wanted to make a call)
• Sleeping in a bed rather than on the ground
• Going to McDonald's (this was Dennis' idea, not mine)
• Getting free refills on coffee and tea
• Being served butter and jam with bread
• Cooking in a kitchen
• Having public toilets easily accessible and free
• Changing money back into dollars
