Back to Mbita

Back to the idyllic views of the lake

Back to smells of sun dried sardines

Back to swarms of lake flies

Back to cooking in my own kitchen

Back to burning pots of beans

Back to bugs in the rice

Back to my little group of friends

Back to calls of “mzungu mzungu”

Back to nights spent on skype

Back to our private local gym

Back to duct taped dumbbells

Back to gazing up at spiders

Back to the routine of work

Back to fixing my car’s bumps and bruises

Back to todays built on “tomorrow’s”

Back to working

Back to waiting

Back to living

Back to laughing

I am happy to be back to Mbita
