....for some quiet. I realized today, that since our return to Lima, there has not been even a moment of silence. My ears are under constant assault. The roar of traffic is incessant – louder during the day than at night, but it never quiets completely. There are perpetual car alarms, police sirens, multitudes of barking dogs and honking horns, as well as voices and music. Even my sleep is restless and anxious, I think because my brain is never lacking input. Ear plugs don’t help. The noise is never ending. I’m a little homesick and longing for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, but most of all I’m craving silence.
