Hey Liz, I'm writing this with the hope that your blog is automatically sending the comments to your email. I will take your advice and not try anything on that list here in America - particularly getting peed in while wearing a dress! And when I get to Africa I'm going to stop all the "strangers" from walking back with their arm around you - I'll do it for them. Thanks for all your efforts with the blog. It's good for us in America to be clued in to what is going on around the world...I love you.
Liz I am inspired by your blog and your experience already. I have a blog here and I wrote about you tonight...just things hit me in reading what you are doing there. Praying for you right now, Love Emily
