In 2010/11 we (my family and I) lived in Brikama, The Gambia, West Africa for the academic year (10 months). Sneaking in an extra bit of Northern Exposure wisdom, we all agree with Bernard (Chris Stevens’s 1/2 brother):
“As you may know, I spent the last three months in Africa. A wondrous, magical place. But as shadows lengthen across the KBHR window, thoughts turn to homecoming. Journey’s end. Because in a sense, it’s the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going forth. We really don’t know where we’ve been until we’ve come back to where we were. Only, where we were may not be as it was because of who we’ve become. Which is, after all, why we left.”
