Cows eating out of dumpsters :)Busy, Crowded, Crazy Markets...

I guess that's not that funny, but it made me laugh :)

I keep forgetting to ask you, are the cows and camels friendly? Will they let you approach them and pet them? I would miss that too!!!

I just saw Slumdog Millionaire and thought of you guys a lot. Thanks for doing your work there!

So which is better: to be a cow there and eat from the dump or be a cow here and become a yummy dinner? Hmmm...

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
