Just another beautiful place where the very rich live right on top of the very poor.

Dad’s been gone for almost 5 years now. I have some things that he used almost daily up until the end, but it’s mysteries like this coin that are even more captivating becuase I may never know where they came from or why my parents aquired them. This appears to be a coin from mexico set into a ring. I also found a Bahamas gold coin set into a necklace. I barely remember the Bahamas from when I was very young, playing in the ocean and seeing a manta-ray swim under us as we passed over a bridge near a big market. Taking a fresh coconut back to our rented condo. Playing in the pool and seeing lizards on the wet concrete border. Blurry memories of youth… I wish I could ask him about it now.
