Woman in Deep Thought

Young Lady Selling Bread

Sometimes I pass people and wonder what there lives are like especially in other countries. The lady in the photo on top looks very much deep in thought perhaps waiting on someone. While the lady on the bottom almost seem to have a smile on face as she tries to sell bread on the side of the road. Photos taken in and around Asuncion, Paraguay.
