Blast from the Past!

Out of the blue today, I received a package from my high school San Diego friend Linda Smyth. She was going through old things and said she found a box marked 'important stuff.' It included every card and aerogram I sent her from Peace Corps Kenya. Some of them also had photos included. I read through many of them and in some I sounded so homesick and sad. (Sort of hard for me to read today when I'm so homesick and sad.) In some I was clearly in culture shock and pretty frustrated.  In some letters, I was in love, and Judd will tell you it wasn't always with him but I'll deny it. 


I'm happy to report, I'm much kinder and more polite when visiting new lands and people or tasting new foods and cultures.
