I know I've commented quite a bit on the asthetic and style choices of the people down here, and I apologize for the monotony, but I feel this one additional thing must be mentioned. In my host home, on the wall near the dining table, there are too frames. I never really took great notice of them - they were all in shades of whites and browns, and didn't really warrant further inspection. Here's one.
Today, however, I was wandering around the house drinking limeade and singing "Under My Skin" and happened to take a closer look, and I inadvertantly discovered something fascinating.
They're butterfly wings! The entire picture, some 2 1/2 by l ft in size, is composed entirely of overlapping butterfly wings. I'm still digesting this fact at them moment, and am presently unsure how I feel about it. Huh.
