The photos, the way of life....you must have learned so much. I was muttering when my hose wouldn't stretch out yesterday to water flowers on the front deck, and then I flashed back to the children walking to the well to get a bit of water to drink and cook with! How spoiled we are! And, I was so horrified -- at the content of the childrens' play. We are so blessed here, and it's very difficult to imagine the incredible pain inflicted on individuals in other cultures as simply a part of what is in their world. It must have been a very hard trip on both of you in so many ways, but an invaluable trip as you learn and as we all (CRCC and others) will learn from you and understand our world a bit better. Hope you'll be able to rest on the flights home and be ready to jump into life stateside again. Love you both. Mom (P.S. Would have written sooner, but you know me and technology! Wasn't sure how to do so. Oh, well....) Hi Reed and Erin, I was so glad to get your last post as you return to technologically more advanced areas.
