The arguments over who gets to use what technology, and why their need trumps the need of someone else. Knowing that things will not feel comfortable at "home" for a very long time.

Our journey to Colombia. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Poem by our Friend Larisa Zehr. You can never replace it. And no matter how much you try to fit in the suitcase,. You will leave behind. And we will never be as “in touch” as we promise. Because you can't be in touch when you. Colombia, and her stomach-churning. Mountain roads and dusty beaches. Her regional pride in the arepa. And nation of football critics. Her heat of violence. And chill of displacement. Will begin to fade. Even if you come back,.

Our journey to Colombia. Saturday, May 28, 2011. For Abby, this was the pay-back for a whole year in uniforms.

This has been our norm. Posted by Jennifer Chappell Deckert. Two years ago, we were arriving in Colombia after getting to know our soon-to-b...
