Ah, another fun day spent with Google Images!
It started out with a photo gallery that I was wandering through,
and I saw this picture:

Salaom
'Peace' in the Ge'ez language, Ethiopia
(the 'o' has a slash thru it)
I thought 'Wow! that little girl is really pretty!'
'Wouldn't it be fun to look up photos of children (mostly) in traditional dress,
from countries that have checked out my blog?'
So that's what I have done.
You know me, I just LOVE other countries' traditions and costumes!

'Peace in Vietnamese
I found both of the above words listed on differing sites.
Anybody know if they are both correct?
Is one perhaps a dialect spoken in Vietnam?

'Peace' in the Quechua language, spoken in Peru
I found all of the above translations for the word 'Peace'.
Since I don't speak 'Quechuan' I thought I better put them all in!

Trying to say 'peace' in 'Peruvian' turned out to be a challenge.
Their official song/motto is in Spanish.
Well, I have shared Spanish before, so I wanted a perhaps tribal language.
In Peru they also speak Mayan and Quechuan.
I thought Mayan would be cool, but I couldn't find any language translations.

If any of my Peruvian blog readers would care to illuminate me,
please do!!

Okay, so maybe not all cute children are smiling!!
(bet he didn't want to sit by his sister)
I've had a wonderful time with you today.
I have more super cute pictures of children around the world,
some smiling,
some not.
I'll have to share with you later!
