do we really look that much alike?

i went with public defender kelley to work today and got to see her in action in the trailer park of justice and in the courtroom. i also got a good look at her clients. it was interesting to see just what kelley does... and i am glad that i do not have to do it. but she likes it and that is all that matters. it is really funny to just sit and listen to the secretaries talking about the paperwork and people who just phoned in. i spent most of the day trying to stay out of the way and reading travel books.

do kelley and i (or karrie) really look alike? I don't see it, but all the time people are saying they see the resemblance. when we tell others that we are sisters, we get comments like 'i was wondering if you were twins,' 'duh,' you sound alike,' you look so much alike,' etc. i know that we all sound the same on the phone from personal experience but when i look at photos of me with my sisters, i see some resemblance but not a lot. maybe that is how everyone feels about their siblings. one thing i think is funny is everyone thinks that kelley is older than me. course, today she looked professional while i was in jeans and a sweater.

in the afternoon i went to montezuma's castle and montezuma's well. these places are from the singua people (not the aztecs as they are named) and are mud-brick structures built into cliffsides. these people disappeared mysteriously and left behind no written records - just cliff dwellings. (they got eaten to extinction by the desert sasquatches - i mean why else would they build such inaccessible fortresses?)

i then rejoined kelley to run errands, dig out my car, re-shovel the driveway, get dinner, do facials, and for me to pack my things. kelley was really nice and made me sandwiches in between watching futurama. tomorrow i am off to the grand canyon with a hike down on wednesday and a hike up on thursday.
