Dona Berna had to show off how many shoes they had from when her husband was working in the US. So cheap she said. They bought all the sizes so that the kids can have them one after another. The door into the living room had a lock and handle only from the inside. It led into the courtyard. But also into the upstairs bedroom. They locked it for the nights. I was staying upstairs, thinking of backup plan if I needed to use the toilet.
BARA,
ReplyDeletejust to say, i really like your blog so far, your personality really comes across in the writing and images...
anyway, just to say, if you havent already maybe think about reading 'all the pretty horses' Cormac McCarthy, it's quite evocative of the tex-mex border, it's part of the 'border trilogies' though i havent read the other two but i do love this book and many of his others, the landscape is always very keenly described...
hope it's all going well!
ALPA! thank you so much . i havent realised anyone is reading this. :) only discovered your comment now.
ReplyDeleteI ll get hold of that book.
thank you !
