My recent bout of the stomach flu has made me grateful for some things: A comfortable bed. A toilet inside my home. Clean water when I’m dehydrated. Money for a doctor (and a vehicle to get to the clinic).
Trip to Nicaragua

“It used to be very hard to get water. Without rain, we were traveling long distances and life was very difficult.
