We got the unique opportunity today to travel to a remote village three hours away from the ship. We rode a very bumpy public transportation bus to the village. We were greeted with open arms and smiles. The houses were absolute shacks, but the joy that overflowed from these people was incredible! They invited us into their homes, fed us (even though they have next to nothing), and talked to us. Many of the children were scared of us because they had never even seen a white person, much less one with a big camera taking pictures of them. Our group brought balloons to give to the kids and they loved them (even the adults liked them!). They were so sweet to open up their lives to complete strangers and we all walked away feeling more blessed than we ever expected.
