“It is a strange thing to come home. While yet on the journey, you cannot at all realize how strange it will be.” – Selma Lagerlaf

Well, I returned to the States late Monday night/early Tuesday morning, and it was strange coming home to the "consumerized" and surplus holiday season after living in a part of the world where poverty is intrinsic and wide-spread on a scale than I have ever experienced. I am reconciling much of what I have seen and learned with how my life will be now that I have returned. There are many personal and social adjustments ahead for me, but I would not trade my experience in Guatemala for anything. My time there was incredible and I believe I am a more informed and better person as a result of it, but I am also just glad to be back home.

 This reminds me of the opening scene of the Lion King :)
