You see she contacted me today just heart broken and at her wits end. Her faith is shaken and my heart has gathered her burden. She leaves in one week. Yes, 7 days and she still needs at least 7k for this trip. Grand total is still about 17k. I am asking for your help because I was in her shoes not long ago and it is heart wrenching. It takes all you got to get through a day. The tears seem to never end. You pray there will just be one person who hears your cry. You pray until you have no words left just hoping someone will help. Patti, financially I cannot help her, I have made donations but not nearly enough to help. I have heard her cries and I cannot just sit back and hope she gets her funds. Her daughter Charlotte holds a special place in my heart; she was the one I would of chosen if we didn't choose Varvara. <var></var>So, this leaves me to contact people who I know can help. Please go to her blog and see if you can help.

Not because I like the food (because I generally don't) but because the local additions are fascinating! In Egypt there was the McRoyal (a variation on the standard burger), in Indonesia they served rice and fried chicken and in Oman one can buy the McArabia. It is what I'm guessing is the McDonald's take on a schwarma and ends up being a chicken patty with in a pita. Interesting? Very. Tasty? Not so much. Go for the real schwarma.

Coming back to North America is always a bit of a shock but it has been especially apparent after living in Indonesia. Most of our fresh food was bought at the market....by our housekeeper. The "grocery stores" were pitiful and frustrating with poor quality fresh food and the "cheese counter" was a small corner in the meat section where I could buy sliced package cheese or outrageously expensive mediocre quality white cheddar from Australia. Coming back to see cheese the extends as far as the eye can see made me stop in stare, jaw dropped and all. And the pies? Well, that is from American Thanksgiving. They had AISLES of them. The pies were bigger than my head and stacked high. I saw people with carts full of them. Amazing. Coming home is sometimes as much of a cultural experience as going abroad.
