I just returned from the Global Hand Washing Day spectacle. Eight schools participated and there was music, dance, poetry, science exhibits, and dignitaries stressing the importance of hand washing for warding off germs and disease. For third world countries, this is still a new concept.
I also met an adventurous French couple who are touring the world for four months. They went trekking in very high altitudes in Bhutan and relayed some amazing stories. They were also very homesick for French cooking.
Actually, I am too!
Enjoy the photos.
