Are those really 2nds?!



Another discovery we made in our exploration were the relief society shops on the street. We initially thought they were expensive boutiques and were hesitant to enter them thinking they would be beyond our budgetary allocations. Of course, we eventually found out they were second hand shops which operate to support the different world projects in immediate need of humanitarian assistance. Well we were convinced to support the Burma crisis by making purchases – and mind you, the shops were a far cry from our experiences back home!

Hi louise, Ala.

I just tuned in (by accident, actually) and I loved reading the updates. Well done!

I envy you all the lovely sights you have visited and which I will visit one day (by the way, James Herriot is a gem: don't knock "All Creatures Great and Small"!)

Hope to read more from you.
