Heard a great message at church, ate dinner at Five Guys, then walked around G-town + the waterfront. Nice to get outside + finally take a break.

Finally able to capture them on video. So nice to have a camera/video phone on me at all times for moments like these.

Freedom of speech + the right to assemble

Mir-Hossein Mousavi supporters wearing all black +/or green + face masks, holding signs that read "Revote", "Ahmad Get Out", "Where is my vote", + showing large posters of the bloody protests on the streets of Iran were just in my hood. The U.S. secret service police scooted them out shortly before 8pm tonight.

Always something interesting happening in DC.

Portraits of Delhi

The guy in the red cap claimed that our driver ran into "his car" + tried to scam him for money. He even climbed into the bus + took the key from our driver. It made us so mad, but what could we do... Eventually, the driver reluctantly gave the scam artist some rupees + we went on our way towards Jama Masjid Mosque.

Soon after our bus began to roll past her, her sad little face quickly turned into a smiling grimace as she skipped down the street. For most poor children on the streets in India, begging for money is just an everyday part of life. Some children are kidnapped by strangers + are forced to beg for money to make money for the kidnapper. Some children are even sold to traffickers by their own parents in order to pay off debts or gain income or they may be deceived concerning the prospects of training + a better life for their children. It's a very sad situation to witness. We are told not to give anything to these beggar kids as to not contribute to human trafficking.

My sis was in town again for her birthday vacation trip around the NE. Unfortunately for me, I had just lost my job the day before she arrived into town. But, the upside of it for her was that I had more time to show her around town. ;) Nevertheless, the great Spring weather provided us a good few days to hang out + explore the city together.

* Happy Berfday, Te! *
