Home is where one starts from

So, as a quick update, here are the notable things that have happened in the last two days:
1. I was picked up, and had the honor of staying with the Elahi family. They have been so kind and generous that I am inclined to think I am at my own house.
2. I met with Relief International's project coordinator, who was super kind and  informative.
3. Mahbub Uncle took me to buy cargo pants.

Today, in about a half hour, I will be heading off to Swat Valley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swat,_Pakistan). Many of the people there have lost their homes not once, but twice; once during the 2006/7 Swat invasion, and now again during the floods. I will have internet at the guest house there, so I will try to keep you updated on what I see.
