From Pyramids to Parallels

As many of you know, I spent the fall of 2009 and January of 2010 traveling and studying abroad.  Now that I’m home and have had some time to reflect I realize I will be processing this adventure for years to come.  I can sense that I have changed and that my eyes have been opened to the way the rest of the world lives, but I am not sure when I will fully be able to comprehend how important this experience will be in shaping the rest of my adult life.
