Two days in Heidelberg and arrived here not exactely knowing what wil be the next country where I will spend my nights in: South Africa or Malawi? No, I will be going straight to more meetings in Johannesburg as thank God I need a visa for Malawi.. Am tired of this constant readiness for work related adventures..
Yesterday was the first day of Spring, the Equonox and after warm winter I find Heidelberg covered with that white poweder I missed this winter... The witch in me misses the forgotten slow arrival of Spring...

A few moments looking at the contrast between blooming spring and the melting snow... Another few minutes thinking to myself what it would be like to grow up in this perfect small German town... What are the lifes of people who have normal jobs and families? Do they feel the angst to get away from it or are they aware how prescious this tranquilty can be? Suddenly the idea of living in a small town and of having a more normal job without the objective of saving the world seems appealing.
Sunday morning I will wake up in Johannesburg...I love traveling but hotel meeting rooms, however fascinating the meetings, make me feel sometimes as though this is my second home. To succeed in what I am doing I need that home base with someone waiting for me with a cooked dinner.
Am looking forward to going back to Africa...
