In the morning I will wake up to roosters (yes plural) and if their incessant cries don&#8217;t manage to rouse me I&#8217;m guaranteed to wake up when the jackhammer starts up in the new construction site next door. During the day I will be able to buy gas, water, tamales, knife sharpening services, popsicles and fresh produce from various vendors that move their way slowly through the city streets screaming their services at the top of their lungs (often with the aid of a bullhorn). And when the day draws to a close I&#8217;m sure someone on our block will throw a party that will necessitate the hire of a live band. If I&#8217;m really lucky their set will last until 3am, which is right about the time the roosters start alerting us to a new day&#8230;</em></p>http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1362847643http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1362847643Wed, 20 Oct 2010 21:30:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lam8sssd061qe0x74o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1362739507http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1362739507Wed, 20 Oct 2010 21:14:52 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_labz6ydsGl1qe0x74o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319850130http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319850130Fri, 15 Oct 2010 08:11:22 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_labyossr2o1qe0x74o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319801144http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319801144Fri, 15 Oct 2010 08:00:28 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_labyj3vGFx1qe0x74o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319786949http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319786949Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:57:03 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_labxxh4NM71qe0x74o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319735323http://anotablepause.tumblr.com/post/1319735323Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:44:05 -0400<p><em><span>These content, mundane moments began to add up until one day, as I quietly watered my plants listening to the symphony of crickets in the jungle behind me, I realized that I was home.
