They are so hard-working and eager to learn new things. And then China… there aren’t enough words to describe this intricate (hence fascinating) country. “China is not to be liked or disliked: i... full info

following the long unpaved road from Barra Grande to Itacare

Mud + washboard... sigh!

The ups and downs on the road of life
Good luck/bad luck--isn't that like life! How great the bus driver drove you an extra distance in the rain and you found such gorgeous beaches!
