Acasa din nou!

I'm home, folks! It was a wonderful experience. I got to renew relationships with several people who are dear to me. Unfortunately, pictures were not allowed in some of the most significant places I went. Several of the kids I worked with two years ago have been fostered out or passed away, but most of them were still around. It was so beautiful to be with them again - especially to see the amazing progress a few of them have made. Some of the friends from the city were still around, and it was a lot of fun to spend a little time with them, too (see the second picture). It was harder to say goodbye this time than the first, it seems - probably because I don't think I'm going back again. In all, it was an awesome experience. We'll see if I have time to blog about more details in the next week or so (I get to make up 10 days' worth of work and school when starting in the morning).
