In NYC

We've been in NYC for 5 days, regrouping and enjoying the city. We stayed with Chris O'Falt (a Wesleyan friend) and Maggie Engelhardt, the best hosts ever - totally committed to showing us the city and teaching Sean how to use an X-Box. My parents came in to the city on Sunday to be here with us a few days (in the midst of our mid-trip chaos, including doing our taxes!), enabling us to drop our big duffels of camping gear for South America and exchange them for carry-on backpacks - we're super excited to go light! Thanks so much Mom and Dad!

So, we're getting on the plane in a few hours...a stopover in London, then on to Accra, Ghana. The next post will be from there...
