Home at last
Thanks for the share, and to paraphrase your Grandpa Dan "You write great stuff. Do more of it." I'm so happy for you being with our friends in Santander. You couldn't find more warm or wonderful people. Love the photos. It's great to see the places you've been and the families you've worked with. Love you.
