Sure there are some significant problems, but the people are happy and most are very good people. Materials cannot be taken to the grave!

We need to keep our senses sharp and make the effort to stay focused on what's really important! klehttp://www.keepcalmandtravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12182292.post-83128205360624173302013-03-20T11:56:55.242-07:002013-03-20T11:56:55.242-07:00Good read.

And you've been to how many places there??

Before we left to travel, it was amazing how much stuff we had crammed in our tiny house. A lot of it I had even forgotten that I had. I had some boxes that I moved from one place to the next without even opening. It was so refreshing to just get rid of all that stuff! <br /><br />I too love seeing the strong sense of family and community as we travel. I marvel at how truly generous and nice people.

When I have travelled to poorer countries, including parts of Mexico, I am moved by the joy I see in their smiles, even though they lack essentials like shoes & food. The children will hold a book as if it were a chunk of gold. I am envious of their strong family bonds and sense of community. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
