Ecology tourism without busting your budget.
and if you can't afford to go, just listen to nature sounds.
Here, we can hear nature at 4 am: bird song, (fighting) cocks crowing...the fields used to start across the street, but now they are a block away...but by 7 am all we hear is traffic since the main street is a block away in the other direction.

Yes, Virginia, the black plague was the bubonic plague and it was spread by fleas.
There has been some controversy, since reoccurances of epidemics called "the plague" may have been other disease, or caused by the pulmonary form of the disease.

you knew there eventually would be a reaction to all those egyptology shows on Nat Geo and the BBC, so here it is:

Obamacare leading to single payer? Fine with me, if they let you buy supplemental insurance.
but I am more leery about the "medical home" concept. I don't want a nanny state telling me I need a pap smear or to know all my business.

Heh. American trained local Jesuit says Catholic church's opposition to imposing family planning on our people is similar to the inquisition.
Guess he hasn't been in the supermarkets lately, where you can find condoms at the checkout counter, right next to the batteries and chewing gum.
Old lefty firebrand Archbishop Cruz disagrees, pointing out that the fight is being waged so the politicians can conveniently stall the war against corruption, the real reason for poverty.
The realistic worry in this discussion is that westernized sex standards will contribute to family breakdown as it has in the west. This doesn't have to be true, and the Iranian mullahs have shown, but here, the UN/US groups funding the fight have a much wider agenda than allowing married women the ability to space their children.
