On both the stairwell and the landing of the condo we rent are these beautiful, curved boveda ceilings that support little cupolas giving light and air to what might be dark and stuffy parts. These ceilings are so elegant; herringbone patterned bricks, whimsical cupolas on the roofs, light and airy spaces.We got some chores done this morning. Our friend Carolyn is coming by bus from Mexico City for a couple of days. Last year she and her amor came for an overnight. This year she is coming by herself. (Sic transit amor.) We researched the location of the bus depot. There is mega construction and road work going on here. We were advised not to go the usual route to the station but to take a round about trip to avoid long delays and huge traffic jams. Following those instructions we found it without any trouble. She arrives tomorrow; we'll find her easily. Then we went to the Mega to shop for some basics. For lunch we walked up to our favorite fish taco joint; two fish tacos, cole slaw, an Indio beer. It's good to be back!

Learn something every day from susan; From Google=
"The concept of amae is a concept which derives from a unique Japanese word amae, a noun form of amaeru, an intransitive verb. It primarily refers to what an infant feels toward the mother when it recognizes and seeks her, hence it is nonverbal to begin with, but it acquires its first-person dimension when a child comes to learn the meaning of amae. Amae may be applied to an adult in a similar situation involving someone who is supposed to take care of him or her. It is on the basis of these linguistic facts plus the clinical experience that Takeo Doi arrived at the concept of amae indicating whatever happens consciously or unconsciously in a person vis-à-vis a possible caretaker."
Hmmmm...
