There is rarely much we can say about the first day of
travel because we are so jetlagged that there is no intelligent thought going
on. One of our ways to counteract that
is to go for as long a walk as possible after checking into the hotel.
We walked in a very built up section of the city, but to my
surprise there were all kinds of wonderful “weeds” blooming in small lost
spaces of green near the sidewalk. The
first I found was a kind of geranium
plant that was trying to turn into a shrub.
Then there was an almond sapling in blossom.
The hotel entrance had some palm trees (much to Brian’s
surprise) and large groups of Birds of Paradise flowers which added to the
sense of being somewhere different.
Our teeny little hotel balcony gave us the opportunity to
watch some rush hour traffic, providing considerable entertainment to those of
us with lights on and nobody home.
That’s all she wrote for today—lights out!
