A day in the life.....

You know things are getting a bit weird when you are wishing for a dust storm so that the weather improves.

It's totally weird to be going about your everyday life and have a bus load of tourists take pictures of what for you is just everyday life. I tend to wave at them. Gotta go with the flow...

It's totally weird having to drive an extra 20-30 minutes because many roads are all one way now, and there's no place to make a left turn. The open pit of sand without buildings is looking pretty good about now! 4-wheel drive anyone? (No not really, since that wouldn't be legal).

Things are getting weird when big excitement means trying out a new recipe from the home country in the jumbo slow cooker but trying to make ingredients from this region work. It's very hard to find potatoes that have what for me is the 'correct' texture.

It's weird when you finish your morning drive and go, "Wow. I only got honked at once, and I only honked my horn once. Freaky...."

Peace.
