      I’m realizing that we in the US are the exception. Most of the world lives on much, much less.

      Remind me of that when I complain about the internet going down at school.

    Tim, your comments made me realize how fortunate we are in America, no matter what seems to be going on right now. I’m looking at colleges with my youngest son during February vacation. He is being a typical 16 year old, pain in the butt. He thinks I know very little, but he is certainly not begging in the streets. I wish I could make him realize how good he has it.Hopefully, he will realize it on his own when he studies abroad.

      Yes, travel is one of the best forms of education. Hang in there!

    Reading this is reliving my trip without the sweating! And your pictures are very fond memories, once again. Reading the BBC clip really adds more meaning to what we experienced and makes you wonder why. I want an autographed copy if your first book!

    The picture with the children laughing just touches my heart and reminds me that all children want is to have fun, smile and laugh. They have no idea there is another way of life outside of their village. God bless them and their innocence.

      I love that picture! I only regret not taking a video so you could hear how happy and excited they were to see a foreigner walking down their dirt road.
