This week I'm visiting my old college roommate in Harrisburg, PA. It's been a good, full weekend. We've hiked, played with the big borbul (sp?) puppy, flown kites, seen minor league baseball, and picked vegetables from a farm. Good variety and good friends. I've been instructed on the wardrobe differences between Mennonites and Amish, then told River Brethren could throw that all off. Funny to be in heart of a city where the farmer's market is all staffed by women with head coverings and men with long beards and hats.
I'm now a little more familiar with inner city life (the Bloods were holding a meeting at the park last night) and Mennonite life. This is a different life and a different America. Today I take the train to D.C. to see my brother and his life as an attorney living on Embassy Row.
