Last night, I finished packing, ate dinner, and said my good byes to friends and my host family while Papsy searched for a taxi. It was raining the hardest I've seen in Senegal so far, and it was hard to get a taxi ...

The day of departure is finally here and our adventure will soon be underway. After months of planning and weeks of packing, it is amazing to realize that now we are actually leaving on this trip. We are all packed and about to sit down for some breakfast. We will be picked up by a car service (same driver who ...

A shrine volunteer opened the screen door for me. I walked into the crypt. About 15 feet from the door was the tomb of the saint. There was no museum to walk through or gift shop to endure. There was just the tomb and some kneelers for anyone wishing to pray. I immediately felt a sense of ...

... of simple lifestyle and strong individuality had become a cherished part of the American persona. Since I enjoy exploring the truth behind the myths, I thought it was fortunate that I would be able to see just what the Amish were really like during my stay in Reading.

The pagoda was built by a local businessman who had made a couple of trips to China and had fallen in love with the country’s architecture. He had hopes of making the pagoda into a luxury hotel. However, a key component for the proposed hotel’s financial stability was the alcohol sales in the hotel ...
