Notes From a Spinning Planet—mexico
“It'seems we're barely out of town when all signs of population disappear. It's like we're out in the middle of a desert now. But you can still see the Pacific Ocean off to the left. I ask Francesca questions about her family and am surprised to learn that she has lived most of her life as an orphan. Speaking slowly in Spanish, she tells me that her father abandoned their family when she was about seven years old. Her mother worked as a maid to support Francesca and her two younger sisters, but ...when Francesca was nine, her mother was hit by a car and killed. After that, she and her sisters lived in an orphanage in La Paz. The home is run by an elderly American couple who insist all the children speak English, which explains her good grasp of the language. It is this couple who helped her find work and housing.
I ask her about the other people she lives with, and she tells me she wishes she could find another home, but its close to her job, and she has no car. Then she explains how one woman at the house lets Francesca “rent”MoreLess
