Jungle Adventures in the countries of the world.
Today we walked at a good pace, though a festering blister on my foot got the best of me. Today, we were in a newly paved section of road with no shoulder. The entire walk today was in sand and gravel. It was like walking on a beach or in a sand box. My feet…
If I were an artist I would draw you a picture to depict what the walk that my wife, Noit, made was like, but try to imagine the conditions that they faced when walking home. . . Swollen heads from malnutrition Emaciated bodies 16 year old Noit weighing 20 kilos (45 pounds) Her mother at 25…
