I only get to go back about ever 4 years or so ...very sad really but this is my life now. I am so torn. Love both, and yet see issues with both as a an outsider, so to speak. I'll have to read your blog--just got here from another's where you left a comment.<BR/><BR/>Take care.

As a Panamanian and American, enjoying dual citizenship like a native (parent from each land, you see), I often wish I was in Panama. But then, I KNOW that if I were in Panama, I would want to be in America.<BR/><BR/>In Panama, the maid (one of several) would always say when she came to the Canal Zone to work, "No me hallo." What she meant was, "I don't find myself here."<BR/><BR/>That is perhaps a truer reflection of what it means to be from two countries than anything...there is never a time when that feeling goes away completely, like a rock under your sleeping bag on a camping trip, no matter how nice the tent or the campfire.<BR/><BR/>MiguelMiguel Guhlin (@mGuhlin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13515062893694709221noreply@blogger.com
