.....and why are there no numbers on American coins?

there is a good little astronaut on one coin...but ...no numbers

I stand there for eternities at cashiers trying to work out what on earth each coin is worth................

I wont say ,...my own private Idaho...

only an 11 hour drive ....

each way

groan...

but I found an amazing architect, photographed one of the best houses I have ever seen..., saw salmon spawning , swam in glacial lakes , mermaids on the beach , photographed the sawtooths, and weird stick trees, got back into sketching, slept in a log cabin made by the hands of the two owners ...(who are not builders ), ate the best pico di gallo, found a brilliant artist, whose work I adore, birthday parties on ice skates, stayed in surreal landscapes  ... hung out with super brilliant locals eating real food ...

Susan Desko's amazing architecture
