I was outside LaPaz a few years ago at the Inca/Aymara ruins of "Tiahuanaco" with my Dad and my sister. It's a pretty breathtaking area, and they're still slowly excavating much of it carefully so you can't take pictures or anything in some places. When we got back home to Cochabamba my dad produced a little jagged stone from his pocket and said something like "see, I have a piece of this history now to remember it all the time". My sister and I were really mad at him, but he didn't really care or get it. I know it's really different, but it's like taking stills of mountains or rain; it always feels flat compared to the sensory memory of everything else thats happening when you experience something, almost a violation. Not that the quill is this, it just reminded me of the rock. the changing of wallets, the credit card pocket, the quill, the farm, family; seems more like a kind of sign than a gift. (hope I didn't offend, it just made me think) As always, I love your posts and photos, but I can’t help feeling like it’s more a sign that you should go back and visit the grandparents.. or that your wallet really needed that cleaning out.

It made me speak after reading along silently for most of a year. that is a wonderful story and also partly magical. It made me speak after reading along silently for most of a year.

I was going to say, "Lovely." So, I guess you get two "lovely"s at once. Perhaps I can say serendipity instead...a lovely serendipity, although that's redundant it seems to me.
