sorry for the post overload, but I can't sleep so blogging it is!
I left for Tunisia exactly three days after guatemala, and once again, knew almost nothing about the country. I barely knew anything about the revolution, and even less about the country's history. I also went into the trip still processing everything from guatemala, and had trouble transitioning between the two. for at least the first couple of days, I felt like I was still focused on guatemala, and didn't know how to handle tunisia. also, the format of the trips was completely different.
but the same thing happened on this trip as with guatemala. the stories I heard over the course of this class with stay with me forever, and words cannot do justice to their courage. visiting the places where the revolution happened and being able to speak to people who took part in it was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
another thing I wasn't expecting with this trip was to grow so close to my classmates on it but I guess that's what happens when you are stuck on a bus with the same people for 22 days ;) they are seriously some of the best people I know, and it was such an honor to take my last class with them.
aaaand now for the photodump!
