I’m only fifteen hours from home… but in a totally different world, different culture, language and customs..
And yet, the basics of life are so similar:
nature is stunningly beautiful,
old ladies like me enjoy a morning together at the local coffee shop,
it is easy to recognize lovers as they stroll through the park,
mothers wrangle with reluctant toddlers in the shopping malls,
streets are busy with those going and coming from work, each in their own world as they contemplate the day, or evening.
It feels so far away, and yet so close to home.
