I may have some technical problems but I only found 1 photo, and I loved 'meeting' your hosts on line.

I was saddened by the sickly dog, and more saddened by the realization that your point is so true about how dumpsters here are filled with leftovers.

Thirty-seven Percent!?? Interest for a loan? Outrageous. The only thing I can think of doing with a 37%$ interest rate is investing -- not borrowing! Whew!

Do they have a microcredit program there that you have found? I have been reading about a few types like that on line. Kiva.org and there is another that has micro loans for us to invest in, and the money is loaned internationally. I am fascinated by the power of the micro-lending to change lives.

Is it easy to eat vegetarian there?

I miss you! See you soon on the blog!

Love,
Abby
