For my hiking buddies
I was in Borders tonight, looking around, going through all the stuff on the bargain tables, when my eyes fell upon a book called "Middlesex". Realizing that we never got past the first 100 pages or so, as once we got lost we no longer took the time to stop for our reading breaks, I picked it up. It stirred up fond memories and homesickness for Malawi and for all of you. I can't wait to start reading it on my lunch breaks at the courthouse.
Much love - Jess

That remains one of my best memories, despite all the growling we did. I am glad we pressed on. Thinking of you always fondly. Need your contact info.

J,M, and S-
your blogs couldn't have been more timely. I just dried the tears off of my cheeks after watching "Blood Diamond," which left me reminiscing about our hike through the rolling green hills of the Viphya (my roommates had to endure yet another one of my rambling Peace Corps stories). I agree with Martha; despite all of our physical ailments it remains one of my most cherished memories. I don't think I will ever forget the sweet taste of that sugarcane at the end of the hike. I still contend that we were never lost.
