There are so many poor people in this country

American Brownies

Alex baked brownies, the regular kind. We were so lucky to find cocoa powder at the market. Then again, you never know what you'll find at the bazaar. Living in a foreign country is proving difficult. Without most modern conveniences, we had to make these brownies from scratch. Its incredible how a pastry can remind you of home : ).

Now, if we only had something other than goats milk to drink...

Roommate Love

Meet Alex, my passive aggressive roommate.

Alex speaks fluent English. He listens to Pink Floyd and YES very loudly on his computer. Sometimes he gets mad at me (usually when I take pictures of him without his consent).

Alex is from New York City. He has a New Yorker attitude which comes in handy when we have to barter for goods at the market. I'm so glad that we get to share this experience together.

First Post!

Wow! This is an amazing country.
