Day 2 – The Rooster Crows
….At 5:42 CDT
I have officially become a morning person. Those of you who have known me for all time will not believe this. But right this very moment, I am sitting in the dark on a bench in the courtyard of a
Mexican Children’s home listening to the roosters in this million-person-city with nothing but the company of the “guard dog” that trotted up, climbed in my lap, and licked my face to say good morning.
And I’m discovering that I like morning. The peace. The noises of birds (including roosters) and animals, rather than the noisy hustle of the city. The dusty German Shephard that believes he is a Shi Tzu. The Mexico that is asleep is a different and equally beautiful place, and I’m glad I am experiencing it.
