That’s one new profound thing about bindi that Angel, Ruth and I learned yesterday from our friends Lata and her husband.

I had an interesting time yesterday with a new friend Ruth. She’s from Germany. We strolled around the Botanical Gardens and enjoyed the cool shades of big, old trees and got thrilled by the sight of flowers, turtles, and a lone swan in the lake as we talked and shared about our cultures and history. Later we met up with [...]
