In Chivay: mom walks up to the front desk of our hotel and asks, “If we walk to the main square, are there a lot of dogs running free?” Man sighs, “Unfortunately, yes. Welcome to the third world.” Guess we’ll be eating dinner at the hotel :P

I will not eat until they restore my dignity. I’ve been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three… This makes me sick.

Where have the men gone? →
Over the summer, Evelyn linked me to two great articles talking about the lack of men at church (click on the title to read the first article).
