After a late night (and an even later morning, saying goodbye to Marthame's former fellow student and band member), we drove up to Boston, the last stop on our whirlwind tour. We are staying with Marthame's aunt and uncle - we haven't seen them since we left for Zababdeh two years ago. We've been used to seeing them every Thanksgiving and Memorial Day, so two years without is far too long.

Marthame's cousin, who used to live in Chicago, now lives in the Dominican Republic. She's back for the summer, too, so we get to see her! Ah, family reunions.

Marthame, Elizabeth, and Gawain.
