We would have loved to have been there with you. I'm struck by the amazing resilience of the people interned, and by their attempts to go on living "normal" lives within the context of such a devastating situation. Such a tribute to the human spirit.

One of the things I love about traveling at a slow pace is having the opportunity to learn history at the local level - often times a very different history from what we've been taught.
