Life is a rainbow…..

On Sunday, we decided to go for a walk downtown, maybe grab a light lunch at Taco Bello and get some gelato (primo gelato @ $1.00/cone!!). We had done this walk on Thursday to get dog food and some groceries. But on that day we intended to take the bus Read more

Four furballs

The kittens are getting more active, their eyes have opened and aren’t they adorable????    They don’t like to be disturbed yet though preferring the warm comfort of their bed all tangled together.

My nightmare has 8 legs

When I was a small girl, before I was 5 years old, I was kept in a lifeless room. I can’t say how long I would spend there because there were no windows, the light was kept at an ambient temperature and there was no way for me to judge Read more

The Inca trail

The other day we walked the Inca trail which is actually not far from where we are living. The road is pretty much untouched, although they have put paving stones down in part, just in town. I cannot speak about the whole trail because we only walked a short distance, Read more
