This past weekend I had a totally unexpected visit in East Lansing, Michigan to see my cousin Lela from South Africa and her daughter Ana, who just graduated. They moved to South Africa in 1988, and I saw them only one time since then in 1993 in Belgrade. We've somewhat kept in touch over the phone and have seen each other's pictures, but did not stay very close. For several months I was inviting my relatives to come and visit us in Austin during this trip. They couldn't come this time, so my cousin bought me a ticket and I spent the weekend with them. It was an exciting, but also physically, mentally and spiritually tiring weekend.
