Marianne in Tucson

“I feel at peace. I’ve made peace with being here. Or made peace with being here at this present time.

Tucson has a million people in the greater area but there’s a lot of space. We’re not strictly confined, like in France where you have to fill in paperwork just to get the baguettes.

Here, there is space in the supermarkets. I can use a bicycle to go into the desert. Nature is right at hand.

I don’t even have to talk to my neighbours. I don’t see them because they’re so far.

So It’s pretty luxurious. It’s the best circumstances. I couldn’t be anywhere else at this point.”
