Random Thoughts.

When our translator saw a photo with Susan's Honda Odessy I tried to reassure him we were not really fantastically rich. I told him my car was thirteen years old. “You have TWO cars?” strike two.

The food here is cheaper.

This is a land of young people and old people. There are few like me.

This is a land of HIGH Heels. You should come. The shoes alone are worth the travel time.

I threaten Susan I will find out where these women shop and buy her an outfit. It is 42 degrees for the high; every one is walking, and these girls are headed down the street in short coat, short short tight skirt and HIGH Heels.

The street sweepers (young or old women with a stick broom) can move mountains.

We are recycling here. As I sit I can see four trash bins. More people stop and look in to see if they can get a piece of cardboard or a returnable bottle than people who throw trash in.

I made the mistake of throwing some ziplock bags out. Cannot get them here. Those things are great. I am pretty sure one of my neighbors has them now or they can sell them for 3greven each. About .30cents

People here require less space. We get on a sprinter size van. 18 sitting, five or eight standing. People enter and exit out the front passenger door going and coming from the back, down the narrow aisle more than brushing,squeezing, past each other. And it is all good.

In a store or on a corner someone will step past you (male, female, Young or Old) and they are so close your clothes are brushing but they are not touching you, you can feel them pass.

Cars cost twice as much or more when you add the tax, Gas is more. Rent is less, food less, utilities cheep. Buses anywhere you want $0.25 every 5 min.

People see each other but they do not Look at each other.

Never look at a policeman

Never look at a policeman

Policemen are not here to help you, They are here to find the bad people. Never look …

I have seen NO tough or thuggish people here. They just do not last.

I have never been afraid here. Day or night, anyplace I have been. We all go about and do what we do, no one bothers you.

Try lots of things, make lots of memories, You don't have enough time, GIVE LOVE
