Epilogue

It was an incredible trip.  Colleen said that it was the most restful vacations that she's ever taken.  (No running from one tourist trap to another, for example.) 

The trip was a hoot!  We saw and did things that we never expected. 

We meet some amazing people and made (I hope) some new life-long friends.  Many signed my impromptu "autograph book" that I made out of a scrap piece of flooring.

We've always known that we are fortunate, but it's sobering to see the curves that life has thrown some folks.  As Sister Frances said, everyone is entitled to decent housing, medical care and a good education. 

Would we go back?  Most assuredly.  Don't know when.  But who knows?  Maybe you'll accompany us on Nuns' Build IV?
