Lost in Translation
My friend and I were looking at photos on my computer and sharing the names of various things in spanish and english. For example, I learned that a calla lily is called "lirio de agua."
When looking at photos of my garden in Bloomington, I said, "Oh, es basil, albahaca." My friend heard "Oh, beso a vaca" ("Oh, I kiss the cow").

you go to restaurants twice a day for a month, you learn the word for basil...

i just wanna say your photos are freakin beautiful. i love them all the more since they're coming from you and not just a camera-happy tourist. i support your decision to be aware and present and not always snap photos, and you still have beautiful photos and we'll appreciate them all the more. love sarah
