t.g.
I can not tell you how happy it makes me to hear such good news from that corner of the world. When I was there I witnessed suffering beyond imagination. Yet somehow, living under such dispassionate governmental intrusions, the Peruvian people never ceased to amaze me with their grace, humility, and kindness. I particularly remember one day having to cross a muddy beach when the man we were with took off his own sandals (made from old worn out car tires) and insisted I put them on to spare my shoes from the mud. He then walked home–barefoot–across the glass and rock strewn beach.
I always told myself one day I would return.
