Our flight to Houston has been delayed. We hope it won't be delayed any further because we have a very short layover in Houston before catching our flight to Managua. If we are going to be delayed, there are certainly worse places than SFO.
In another note, as we were preparing to go through security, Moses and Geoff were directed to go through the TSA pre check, which is the fast lane through security. As it turned out, Moses and Geoff were the only white males in our small group. The women and student of color among us were routed through regular security. Moses and Geoff are reconsidering their reservations about the problems with white male privilege after this experience.
This is a blog for the Stanford delegation to Nicaragua, a travel immersion experience for the students of the "Issues in Liberation" class. We are here to listen and to learn and to bear witness to the revolutionary spirit of the people of Nicaragua. We welcome posts and comments.

Waiting for our Delayed Flight to Houston
I am passionate about peace, social justice and the environment. I am the host of the Benders of the Arc podcast and creator of the "Inventory of Conscience" Survey. I am grateful for the wise clarity of people like Fr. Miguel d'Escoto: "We have no right to hope to harvest what we have not sown."
