We have officially left Geneva and are now in the U.S. for a visit. Alexandria did really well with the flights to Seattle. She managed to sleep for quite a while in her basinet on the plane and got lots of attention from other passengers. She was only fussy a little and eating helped that. Now the trouble is figuring out what time zone we are on. Lexi has been going to bed earlier than usual and therefore, thinking that 3:30 in the morning must be the time to get up. That makes it a bit hard on Mom and Dad who aren't sleeping well then either. I usually manage my jet lag through sleeping pills but have not been taking them. So I am hoping that within the next couple of days, we somehow manage to get back to a normal sleeping pattern.
It seems odd to be here - and odd to know that we won't be going back to Geneva. I don't think that will really hit us until we leave for Nairobi. TV here seems mostly ridiculous to me and yesterday at the grocery store, I expected to get my $3 in change back as coins - not bills. So there are definitely some cultural differences that we are noticing. I was also extremely surprised on Halloween and the number of adults in costumes. Haven't seen that in a long while.
