Colleen and I shared many meals together after long days in the classroom. Colleen you might be back in New Jersey, but don't forget the laughs, the great wine and good food we had and know I treasure the time we spent on this incredable journey. I know through international studies you learned so much about traveling, life and most of all who you are! I am very greatful to be witness to my student become my peer and know we have a lifetime to make mountains of memories together.
