Pray for the Children of Juarez

Ciudad Juarez is the most deadly city in the world, and known as the most violent place in the world outside of a declared war zone.

CNN posted these videos about the children of Juarez, which, as a parent, broke my heart.

Please join me in praying for the children of Juarez and of Mexico in general, that God would watch over them and give them peace.

Mexican Wrestling

Today Balázs came home with a new sweatshirt which one of his classmates gave him. At first we didn't think anything of it, until we noticed what was written on it:
Ma Balázs haza jött egy új pulcsival, amit megkapta egy osztálytársától. Először nem foglalkoztunk vele, amig észre nem vettünk, hogy mi van ráírva:

On the back: A hátán:

and on the front: az elején:

Yes, that's right - Balázs has a shirt that says "Mexican Extreme Wrestling". If only he knew what he was advertizing...
Igen, így van - Balázsnak van egy olyan pulcsija, amire rá van írva, hogy "Mexikói Extrém Birkozás". Ha bár csak tudná mit reklámoz:

Shopping Abroad (cont...)

A few months ago I wrote a post about shopping abroad, about how we love to go to grocery stores in other countries, and what things we like to buy in different places.

After our last trip to North America, in which we visited all 3 N.American countries (I don't know if Greenland counts as N.America or not...), I thought I should update the list.

Canada

• Buckley's - Cough medicine made from pine needles, among other things. This is probably one of the worst things I've ever tasted. Its kind of like getting slapped in the face or punched in the stomach, but it certainly works to help with congestion or a cough.
  
• Coffee Crisp - Candy bar. I haven't figured out quite yet if they have coffee in them, or if you are supposed to eat them with coffee, but either way, they are great.
  
• Kicking Horse Coffee - One of our favorite coffees. Rosemary says that she likes it better than Illy. We'll just have to find a way to get more of it once we run out :)
  

Mexico

• Food from street vendors, especially tacos (3 for $1!), frozen coconut dessert sticks, and corn on the cob.
• Tajín - chili seasoning for fruit. One of the best things in the world. We actually went to the village of El Tajín on our honeymoon!
• Vanilla extract. I'm not really sure why Rosemary always buys it there, but I'm sure there is a reason.

England

• Yorkshire tea.
  
• Rubina black current drink.

What about you? What products do you make sure to buy when you travel to different places?
