Love keeps this whole world together

I returned from an 8-day trip to Caracas, Venezuela with Global Exchange to an empty house. Well, it's not really empty. There's stuff all over the place actually.

Traveling without newlywed spouse is tough, but useful! I always had wonderful stories to tell people about homelife. "Where is your husband?" "In Seattle learning about oceans." "Oh."

Needless to say, our group had an incredible amount of information and experiences to process when we came back. If I will say anything about my trip and the education I received from having an on-the-ground experience it is this: Venezuela is a democracy. Venezuela is definately not a dictatorship.

Good. I've said it. If you have any further questions feel free to ask. All other information will be found at radiohumanity.org.

Returning to each other was the most wonderful return a couple can have. It makes us grow stronger. But, of course, remember the first part of the cliche - "That which does not kill us..."

We both returned in the a.m. (not on purpose), with just enough energy to say "I love you." And fall completely and utterly asleep.
