Another fun girls trip. We had so much fun. The city is crowded, dirty, dusty and poor. The people are so nice and friendly. We did some shopping, sightseeing, and saw things we have never seen before (public restrooms that are squatters without DOORS!!!!! The BBQ dog was also a highlight. Tried to plan our next trip, not sure where we will end up!

There is no way I could have went on that trip! I love animals way too much and would have gotten put in jail for fighting with the people who killed the dog! That poor thing! We want you all back here where it is safe! We miss you all!
Love and Always,
Heather
