Day 7: Who am I kidding trying to blend in!?

What's normal anyway?

Sometimes things are just not quite what we are used to, and it is that slight difference that really makes ALL the difference.

THE BED: I sleep on the kitchen floor. And really think it couldn't be better! I even have a headboard, a side table and not to mention a roof over my head. The fact that I'm just a little to tall for the length of three sofa cushions put together doesn't bother me at all.

COFFEE MAKING: Making morning coffee has been an evolving process of refinement....so I have some insight that I can share with you now: You have to use some gadgets to make it work!

ART: At the market, the artists are now going into Dali mode with the traditional Peruvian women art. On the picture to the left you can notice this difference in style, which in January was no where to be seen. This was an interesting observation!


NATURE: The large pebble formation on the picture was actually completely covered in green vegetation just a few decades ago. And even though the retaining wall I'm leaning against looks very nice, it's actually a sad picture. It shows how the water has disappeared from this land because of Global Warming.


6' BLONDE: I will have to celebrate the fact that I will not go unseen here. I am a blond gringa, two heads taller than most and stick out like a sore thumb.



Who am I kidding trying to blend in!?

So therefore I am now officially grouped in with the palm trees and street lights. It's a balance-act understanding what is, but yet being something different.
