Kristin took a photo of Don and I after we finished with the computer in the Child Aid warehouse/office. When I figure out how to insert the photo you will be able to admire the hats for they are indeed a fashion statement. Well they are light, cool, provide UV protection and they roll up to slip into a backpack so that makes them perfect for gringos walking under a brighter sun than we are used to. We can't hide that we are from the US and so we make no attempt to do so. We are giants here and one day as we left a bus Kristin said that a comment was made on how tall we are. That is a comment that has never been made about me but I'll take this one.
Kristin cleared up why the women sit in the front of the bus no matter who they have to sit on to do so. It seems that the thieves ride in the back of the bus and the women stay if the front. We sit with our backpack if we have them (and hip pack) in our laps as we travel. Our valuables are in secret pockets and we do not carry much with us, even the passport we carry is a copy.
