Around the world we go

Time goes on and no matter what, people travel.  Just today I have people going to Turkey, China, Bhutan, Liberia.  I guess Yellowstone and Glacier are out this time of year.  Though gorgeous in their own right.
So, Liberia piqued my interest...because really nobody goes there on vacation.  Revolution free for about six years, somewhat democratic, still tumultuous and poor no matter how you dice it up.  Sometimes I just want to tell the customer, don't buy the bag from me...give it to the Liberian merchants when you get there. But, there's no negotiating on that one.  They want what they want when they want it.
It was a great sweater day...azure, carnation, ciel, pacific...the new shades of blue are really flying.
And thank goodness we are prepared with a well stocked first aid kit...the gal at the sandwich shop next door just about sliced her finger off today.  There were plenty of butterfly bandaids to help out.
Don't take first aid kits for granted....know what's in them...and read the booklet on what to do in common situations.
