Trek to the Mermaid

Sunday, November 25th, 2012 in Beauty in Everyday, Our Travels Worldwide

When the girls would ask to see the city we were living in “on your computer” only one real image pulled up for our city–a statue of a mermaid. So in all of the pictures they would draw, all the conversations they were in with people asking where they were moving, and all their daydreams […]
