The Desert, Epilogue

     In order to add a sense of humanity to the past few blog posts, and to keep the people contained within them from sounding like more than characters in a dramatized story, I thought I'd update the blog with just a few words about how things have turned out.
     First off, Deborah seems to be doing fine.  No one that I know of has seen the letter that supposedly exists, but this was the third seizure she has apparently had.  She missed class on Monday, I think, but has been back at class since.  She was pretty tired for a couple days, but seems to be doing better.  I think it would be interesting to find out how this has all impacted her relationship with Martina, but that's between them.  
     For the rest of us, I think there is a consensus that it was a trip in which everything went wrong at almost all the right times.  Only as many bad things happened could happen, and it still be possible for us to have a great time.  For me, I feel no further need to visit a desert or ride a camel--although I do recommend visiting the desert at least once.  It is beautiful.  After that, it's just a bunch of sand to me.
