Neighborhood walk
Yesterday afternoon I took a walk through the poor area of my neighborhood. Despite the poverty and dirt, this place always puts a smile on my face. Kids follow me, curious to see where I am going next, hoping to sneak in the next picture as well. Proud mothers and fathers hold up their babies to be photographed, excitedly showing neighbors the small preview on my camera. Lots of hands, both small and large were shaken, along with the traditional palms together greeting/gratitude. And once again there were several offers of coffee. Such smiling faces from young and old keep me coming back.
This week I'll post some of the photos I took from the neighborhood. Perhaps they'll put a smile on your face as well.
