Homebound

The trip back home is a daunting one. The layovers are the killer, with an overnight stay in Lima's wonderful airport (yes, we stayed away from Mama Morena's) but I did catch up on some editing and a few shopping items for the girls.

I couldn't help but reflect on the 10 day trip, which seemed to age me far more. We forget what the rest of the world goes through when we are insulated with our TV's, our water heaters, and our crappy, but still far superior health care in the U.S. I hope some big changes can happen here so we can have better access to the talents of people like Dr. Shaw and his team, but having seen what Peru has to face on a day to day basis when teams aren't there giving of their free time, we should count ourselves lucky.
