Look See

I'm reading Michael Palin's 'Sahara' which is helping me realise just how much I'm not noticing anymore.
For example:
Men squat to pee here. Always. At first I couldn't figure out what they were doing and would peer curiously at them before realising too late what they were concentrating on.

I suppose that's one reason I'm writing this blog. To keep me aware of what an extraordinary adventure life is, rather than craving my next travel-fix (ahem, note the reading matter ;).

P.S. Happy birthday gran. Thanks for giving me my mom, a taste for Hollywood Golden Era musicals (from whence my name came...Cyd Charisse, thank you very much) and the perfect rationale for eating chocolate cake for breakfast -- contains eggs & milk!
