I wasn't expecting the family bonds. Everyone is so close and friendly here.

I love to travel, but I never thought to end up in America.

I'm volunteering to learn American ways to organize events. I thought that the chamber would be a good start.

The horn is perhaps the least efficient instrument of the brass family, but it produces the most beautiful sound of all.

A theatrical spectacle is inherent whenever family members congregate and reacquaint themselves with powerful universal themes educed from homecomings including hugs, food, drink, conversation, politics, games, music, conflict, terror, mercy, smiles, tears, prayers, misfortune, and self-discovery.

Family: a foundation! Family: a ‘cloth’ that keeps the ‘body’!
