After nearly 17 months in the country of Suriname and a notably nerve-racking month leading up to my departure in which it was uncertain if I would be coming home as late as 48 hours prior to departure I am in my parent's home in Alta Sierra CA relishing the strikingly cool spring temps and thoroughly enjoying all the comodities of the United States of America. But most importantly, being with my family and in community with friends I haven't seen in such a long time will be true joy.
