birthday boobies (and other birds)

I never would have imagined spending my 63rd birthday looking at boobies.
Uh…not cleavage, but the Peruvian bird.

We all have a pair of running shoes inside of us.

If you visit Lima, Peru, you’ll be treating your schnoz to some of the best –or should I say most memorable sniffs.

Believe it or not, that’s the ocean behind me. Funny how the Pacific can disappear, but my wrinkles still show up.

Living overseas is like watching paint dry in another country. A lot of same-o same-o.

Sometimes I hate it here.
But then I look up.
Or look at birds, which is why I skipped church that day.

There is more to Lima than what meets the gullet.

There I am at this bus station, trying to stay warm before dawn when my eyes spotted the egg-shaped woman on a blanket.

In her last years, my mom was convinced she was a part-time prophet of Jesus. I didn’t doubt her, except for her story about Moses having a gun.

Oh, the joys of being an ex-Pat seeking medical care abroad!
