a beautiful walk around this beautiful village is fantastic!
so many little things to see if only you look up… the architecture is absolutely magical! how they built things so long ago… so smart! everything has a purpose and a reason for being there… if it’s just for looks or to collect water… it’s a reason!
sometimes you just find things in and out of little nooks… sometimes you can find a hoola hoop… and gosh, when there’s a hoola hoop just sitting on the ground…. well you can’t help but hoop it up!
I feel like this village is my second home…
I know which creek to hop over, which shortcut is really a shortcut, and which route is ok for going out of the way… a route worth while just to see things… just to see that certain cat that I see every year… just to see that certain old duck with the googelie nose… I know it… and I love it!
I have been coming here for so long that I have lost count… it always feels new again… but seeing familiar faces… children growing each year… shop keepers rearranging their storefronts… saying hello to me in English… it’s a sweet feeling and a feeling that makes me feel
“at home…”
