When one is young

"When one is young it's easy to think that all kinds of things about the world are fixed, that they have always been there. With adulthood, though, comes the realization that very little is fixed, that things change all the time..."- -excerpt from "Another Fool in the Balkans" by Tony White.

Qué tan ciertas son estas palabras! Siento una cierta melancolía al recordar mi infancia. Cuando vivíamos en México, mis hermanas y yo pasamos todos los veranos en el rancho de nuestros abuelos, pero un día eso cambió cuando nos mudamos a los Estados Unidos. A la edad de 8 años me di cuenta de que mi mundo no era fijó y me enfrente con cambio a mi alrededor. Ahora que vivo en Croacia tengo la oportunidad de revivir esos recuerdos a través de mi hija.Sus bisabuelos tienen un pequeno rancho con gallinas y muchos árboles frutales. Me siento como en casa y cuánto desearía que Beli recuerde estos momentos cuando sea mayor. Supongo que estoy haciendo mi parte atraves de fotografías que tomo cada vez que visitamos el rancho.
How true these words are. I feel nostalgic when I remember my childhood. When we lived in Mexico my sisters and I spent every summer at my grandparents farm, but one day that changed when we moved to America. I was eight years old when I realized that the world was not fixed and I was faced with change all around me. Now living in Croatia I have the opportunity to relive those memories through my daughter.

Beli's great grandparents have a farm with chickens and plenty of fruit trees. I feel right at home and I hope that she will have the same sweet childhood memories that I had when I spent my summers at my grandparents farm.

I guess you can say I'm doing my part by taking plenty of photographs! Now what to do with all these grapes?
