It seems you are becoming wiser and more mature by the minute. Leah, your excitement is contagious, Erin, sweet Haiku. I'm glad to see spontaneous poetic expression in the group. Jack, nice work synthesizing some of the complex African politics. Haley, I appreciated your insights on the variety of the experience; First world, Third world and Nature describes it absolutely. Brittany, I think the Cradle of Humankind is a perfect phrase for how being in Africa FEELS. Amar, I also can't wait for you to discover your passion! Sometimes when you're traveling, the famous Zen saying applies: "The Obstacle is the Path." Keep your minds open and relax when you feel uncomfortable. Observe your insights and emotions and write them down even if you don't post them. (Some of you may be accumulating solid college essay material. :) ) Thanks SN and Lisa and all involved adults who make these remarkable adventures happen. And Schmuel--beautiful work, as always. I'm thinking about all of you and I want to hear from ALL of you so don't forget to write. Lots of love. Melissa Hi All,
