Azalea!"},"content":{"rendered":"

This morning I picked up the two ladies from Georgetown, Texas along with my sweet Mom and took them on a tour of the International Village.<\/p>\n

No matter how many times I do it, I still learn something and find it fascinating!
\n\"t\"
\nI gave them a briefing on what it’s like to be an international in a foreign country. It’s my “Transport you to Cambodia” speech. A favorite! I enjoyed showing them some of my treasures including my Elephant Bird egg and my Maasai Mask.
\n\"e\"<\/p>\n

We then went to one of my favorite stores in Chamblee which sells many idols.
\n\"i\"
\nThen over to Carneceria #1 to see how things are in the Latino market. We also enjoyed some delicioso quesediallas!

And the Thai grocery store!
\n\"t\"<\/p>\n

We also checked out the Chinese Pharmacy. Cool!
\n\"p\"
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

From there to India at the Global Mall. The ladies also bought some beautiful tops!<\/p>\n

We found the Hindu temple fascinating. The priests there are always eager to talk with us.
\n\"h\"
\n\"hh\"<\/p>\n

Gods on sale!
\n\"g\"<\/p>\n

Then to Madina where we saw how folks in N. Africa and the Middle East lived.
\n\"m\"
\n\"m\"
\n\"m\"<\/p>\n

We also went by the main Hindu Temple in Lawrenceville. It’s a fantastic building!
\n\"t\"
\n\"tt\"<\/p>\n

Back to Clarkston to check on items from the Refugee Sewing Society.<\/p>\n

Then to Stone Mountain to rest.<\/p>\n

Then back in the car and over to Chamblee to help the kids at the the mission.
\n\"a\"

\n\"aa\"<\/p>\n

Most of the boys finished their homework pretty quickly. We enjoyed watching them play soccer.
\n\"m\"
\nCame home and had a fun family get together with my folks, my kids and the Kendalls–Ashley’s boyfriend’s family. Good times!
