I had the same reaction while we were on the trip. I was embarrassed to be taking up their time and "gawking" at them (as I was afraid they would think I was doing). I found it impossible to really connect with anyone because the defensive walls were so high. I understood that-why would they want to trust me?? Yet, at the same time I wanted them to realize that I personally was different. To be absolved of the "white guilt"? I guess. Amanda and I talked about this a while on the ride home. I'm glad that somebody else felt this way, too. Take care, Claudia Hi, John,
