Today we had a big day: lots of shoe giving. The Hansons came by to join us today. Never a huge fan of their early music, but man have they made a fan for life. They are incredible and the whole family has been involved in AIDS awareness and now TOMS shoes. It was great having them on the trip.

Watch Hanson play “Great Divide” here.
