5.12.11

Sint en Piet

Suddenly there was a hard knock on my door.... 
Then the door flew open and some things where thrown in.
It happened in less then a second...
At first we didn't understand...
But when we saw the "pepernoten" lying on our floor everything started to make sense...

Today is Sinterklaas. 
It is 5 December and in Holland everybody has been celebrating this national holiday. 
But we...
We are in a small village in Bolivia called Rurrenabaque...
And well, we had totally forgotten about Sinterklaas. 

And then suddenly the truth struck me:
Somewhere far away from here there is a world...
A world spinning in his own particular way...
A world where I used to belong...
But I don't belong anymore... 

Not to that world at least.

My world is totally different from that world...
My world has more trees than buildings...
In my world there are monkeys and macaws...
In my world there are travelers who all left their worlds for a different reason...

What was my reason?
Well... I wanted to get to know different worlds...
