Se deplacer autrement




There is always an adventure if you're open to being in situations that seem surreal at the time. After being the only adult riding a camel yesterday I ended up doing puzzles and playing Top Model with a little girl that asked Heather if she would ride the camel with her. Yes I trotted around with a pillow like I was on the runway. She was so cute, calling her grapejuice wine and clinking glasses with me before drinking. If I thought it was hard to understand adults speaking French it is even harder to understand the whispers and giggles of little girl, but worth the effort, as we played Devinette. She yelled at me everytime I said "ouais" and not"oui" saying its not pretty to say yeah. I felt bad when she didn't want us to leave but we had a movie to catch. Well now I know people if I want to go to Italy and Senegal too, in a way traveling makes the world seem like its not such a large place.
