Postcards from Nowhere

There and Back Again

The journey was so long, but ever so rewarding. I don't think I'm going to be able to remember it all in one entry or at least not in this sitting.

My head is groggy from lack of sleep. Teenagers do not value it greatly it seems. They stay up until two in the morn, and then at five they shuffle their feet past my head with their sandles scrapping the sandy floor. I do have to say that the few hours I did sleep were good ones. Where I stayed it is lines after lines of bunkbeds. It was in the top floor of the 4-H building at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Minneapolis. (Hey, I had never noticed that Minnesota and Minneapolis both start with the same letters....) That is where the YELLO! conference was. YELLO! stands for Youth Exploring Leadership and Learning Outloud!. It was a good conference. It was different from Iowa's in so many ways that it is not fair to judge them back to back or front to front.

I met quite a few people on my adventure. I think highly of Minneapolis now since visiting it. This is a entry that I wrote a couple nights ago:
(OH! GREAT! I can't find it... well, watch this space for it....)

Meanwhile... this is where I had just come from when I wrote it.

Oh, and I might not be making another entry until more than a week until now... I'm leaving for another conference tommorrow.....
