Description to go with Holiday #2 photos

So yesterday was Verzun, traditionally a religious holiday although with the communistic dictator, religion was not really condoned for 40 years. It happens to be the 20th anniversary of the Democratic Party so you can see the rally just down the hill from the park where I did yoga for 90 minutes. Great workout and at no charge. The instructor likes to do it for his sense of purity. You gotta love combining politics and religion!
Beside us, in the park was a guy with a b b gun. You could pay 50 cents and shoot at a rickety target, We were saying "namastay" (sp) at the end not to be the recipient of a stray shot!

I spent the afternoon at a local hospital that is pretty basic. When a woman comes to give birth, she needs to bring food, blankets, clothes for the baby, everything except the bed. The doctors are very strict about  anyone going in the birthing room except hospital personnel and the woman. In a wing of the hospital this neat American woman from Wyoming who lived here in the 90's and into 2004, started and supports two rooms with nurses and aids to care for abandoned babies. One had down syndrome and the other four from 2 weeks to 3 months. They stay there up to 3 months and then if not adopted, go to the orphanage in town. Foreigners can adopt but not unusually until the child is a year old. Sweet little infants that are well cared for. She is in town for 3 weeks so we have enjoyed each others company.

Last tid bit for this blog. Do women really exemplify "bling". They love sparkles. On their shoes, tee shirts, hair bands, jewelry, purses, etc. In the sunlight of which we have continually, everyone lights up except me with my sneakers and plain clothes!
