Thanks for shari...Wow, those photos are stunning!! Thanks for sharing some of them. It does make me sad to hear that other Americans that visit have given us a stereotype of being sedentary... but then again, that's probably true because people like us that run and are active are probably quite a minority in our culture. :( I'll be curious to hear more about your guide, though. One of the best parts about traveling is learning other people's stories. They do make me sad most of the time. Like when I visited a friend in the Dominican Republic when she was in the peace corp, a family wanted to host me for lunch. I bought the chicken and ingredients for the meal to offset the cost. But since I was their guest, they insisted I eat first. They gave me way too much food so I couldn't finish it. One of the kids took my spoon, and finished my bowl of food - including eating any remaining chicken on the bone. I felt terrible and wished I could have just not eaten but my friend said hospitality is so important so it would have offended them more if I hadn't eaten. But it just made me feel sad. And spoiled.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-47854315485315495172016-11-03T18:06:00.100-05:002016-11-03T18:06:00.100-05:00Maybe my favorite post of yours ever ...
