  • I think you are exactly right on that. Every time i return from one of these trips, I look around and see how much I have. I realize that the little apartment I share with my fiance (and, for the next 5 months, my Russian future-mother-in-law) and realize that it would seem like a castle to these people. I realize that if all the little problems I have were added up and dealt with in one day -- it would still be one of the best days some of these people have ever had. It helps me take myself and my situation a lot less seriously and my problems seem to melt away into nothing.

Description:

One of the most memorable experiences I had in Honduras was meeting the Rivera's, a family who lives, literally, in a school bus. Actually, make that one-half of a bus. The top of the bus was welded off, then it was cut in half, and set on the dirt ground, and that's where the family lives. You would think it would have been a sad visit -- but the familiy is so clearly in love with each other, and the father was so strong and motivated that "no matter what" his children would get educations -- it left me speechless. I wrote an article about the Rivera's, and it will appear in the next issue of Journeys magazine. Be sure not to miss it!
