More great blogs from around the world today!  First, let’s take a look into what’s going on in Chile – E a Rt H qU aK e – The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

And now let’s talk about houses.  First, there’s the joy of House-hunting in Congo.  Do you think this house will do?

And after you’ve found a house, there’s work to be done – here’s a video: An Update on our House in Mexico.  Oh, and just for fun – the installation of a shower curtain in Rwanda.

A good reminder out of Peru – Safety Zone.

Finally, how about some kids – birthdays (Ecuador), life in Niger, and kids hanging out at the house (Romania).
