There and back again

Hello all,

So I am back after what feels like a long time in another world.  I just got finished uploading a ton of pictures on Facebook and I am very flattered by all the attention I received from my albums, soon I will share them in this blog.

I am someone who had traveled, I have immersed my body in mud pits in Columbia, I visited science labs in Cambridge University, I had Turkish baths in remote villages in Turkey, I tasted foods all over.  But now I feel like I had not been anywhere before.  There is a world of difference between travel and being on a journey, at least that's the best I can put into words right now.

I thought a lot about how to share my experiences in this blog, but I have decided to write it chronologically, since I think that would be the proper way to document a journey.  I marvel now at the news reports I see on television since I returned a few days ago, the world is demanding change, revolutions flashing right before our eyes.  And yet...it feels just right.  I demanded change too and during those same weeks...I had my revolution.
