    We take so much for granted often without gratitude for what is given. Thanks for sharing these glimpses of another way of life.

    Wonderful series. I particularly liked the paintings on the wall of the feed store and the smile of the woman in the blue skirt.

    The photo of the paintings on the feed store was a great example that we used in our teaching on how to market your product! It was really cool to see that kind of creativity there!

    One thing that I noticed everywhere we went was the trash on the ground. It was difficult to go places and still feel clean. I am also MUCH more thankful for what we have here in the States…
