May 26th: Jonathan Stalls "Kiva Walk" Across America!

This is a first for me, I have had bikers biking across America and I've had walkers walking the Katy Trail but this is the first time I have had someone walking across America!  Jonathan Stalls is one amazing guy walking with his beautiful dog Kanoa across the US to raise awareness for an ingenious and much needed non profit organization called Kiva.
Here is a little bit about it:
"Kiva" is a Swahili word which means "unity" or "agreement", Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty.  Kiva empowers individuals to lend to an entrepreneur across the globe. By combining microfinance with the internet, Kiva is creating a global community of people connected through lending.  To find out more click here www.kiva.org.
 Johathan's friend Ben Purner joined him on the walk for a several weeks before going back to school in Colorado where he is studying nursing.  The two met in Ireland while working on a community youth project.
Guys, it was an honor to have you stay at the BnB, I'm so glad our paths crossed!
 You can follow Jonathan's walk on his blog www.kivawalk.com.

Here are the guys in the wine cellar cooling off with some Warsteiner.
