Mother of Bright Snow

Not much going on here. A friend is visiting from the states, he used to live here when there were cobblestone roads and yogurt in glass bottles. That was actually just three years ago. This place is developing so fast!

The neighborhood is talking about Sophia and how fat she is, 'plump' being my preferred word. And 'cute to death' is the literal translation of the locals description of her.

Sophia has a few local names. One of which means 'bright snow' attributed to her very white skin, of course. Now when I go buy pineapple (daily) I am referred to as 'mother of bright snow,' that is how they refer to themselves too after they have children.

To see a reenactment of Sophia 'helping' me do push-ups go here.
