We found Astrid towards the end of the day. As we drove past her house we saw her sitting in her chair watching her dog play in the yard. She agreed to the interview and began by telling us about her childhood. She spent the majority of it living in countries all over the world. She returned to the United States and worked as a nurse until being forced to retire do to a disability. She told us that if she could live anywhere in the world it would be in Madeira, an island off the coast of Portugal
