Yeah you have had a very creepy week lo...Hey Girl;<br /><br />Yeah you have had a very creepy week lol. Bet you never drink unfiltered water again, been there done that and it only takes once to never make that mistake again.<br /><br />It's amazing how depending on where a person is in Africa how the punishment for theft is different. <br /><br />For instance when my camera was stolen in Cairo West they wanted to cut the hand off of the thief. I convinced them not to (I think), but that is how they handle things of that nature in Cairo. I would think though that losing a hand is a better fate than how they handle it in the TZ.<br /><br />I once saw an American man down on all fours in the desert being ridden as a horse and whipped for not going fast enough. His knees were raw and bloody as well as his hands and his pants were shreds from where the whip had impacted. This punishment was for entering into a restricted area, that he did not even know that he had entered. He was ridden in the hot desert for hours by a man at least three times his size until exhaustion and then he passed out. Such is life in third world countries, but a sad realization all the same.<br /><br />Still loving reading your blog and I think that you write beautifully, especially your poems that you wrote in the past.<br /><br />I'm sorry that I have yet to send you any mail, I had great intentions of sending you some pictures and books and have yet to do so :(<br /><br />So sending you a hug and a smile instead and leave you with thanks for being you. Keep on keeping on because you do make a difference in people lives and we love you and admire you for it you are a very special person and I feel privileged to know you!<br /><br />Take-Care my friend! Can't wait to see you this winter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599974153451470337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624912543832653073.post-41026541347027365722009-08-24T11:44:31.338-07:002009-08-24T11:44:31.338-07:00Just keep in mind every person tou have come in fa...Just keep in mind every person tou have come in face to face contact with you have left your indelible imprint on them .

Not too sure where you get your strength from, but I am so damn proud of you. Hang in there, the days will soon be warmer and maybe the rats will move out.

Counting the days til I get to see hug you and hold you.<br />XOXOXOXO MemaMemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100799330457108897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624912543832653073.post-7379482751485380492009-08-24T08:31:20.454-07:002009-08-24T08:31:20.454-07:00What a hell of a week..Good news..Sun will come up...What a hell of a week..Good news..Sun will come up tomorrow and you can have another chance at a great week.You know you can...Kinda like the Little Engine that could.
