I talked to the sweetest woman in the world tonight about her daughter visiting South Africa with American University in order to help improve farming and sustainability. Also, her two sons traveling to Peru and staying in small, remote villages with locals and their indefinite struggle to learn the Peruvian dialects of Spanish. She told me about how her daughter fell in love in South Africa and dated the boy for five years and then broke up because he had joined the Peace Corp to find his way back to Africa. Now, she is working in New York City and is dating a new boy, but her mother knows it's just not the same - there's no chemistry. Secretly, she is wishing for her daughter to return to her conquistador who has come back from two years in South Africa. I bet the daughter wants the same thing.
