Seeing what we couldn't see

As we get to know this country and culture better we are able to see things that we couldn't see before. Carol used to get kind of fraught about the grocery stores because she could never find what she was looking for. Now she understands how things are categorized so she knows where to look and she knows how things are packaged so she recognizes what she sees. With the notable exception of maple syrup, she can now find whatever we need. Another place where we are able to see things we couldn't see before is on the streets. At first, the "motorcycles" were just one of the many faceless hazards coming out of nowhere and adding to the chaos. Then we started to realize that it isn't chaos and the motoboys have their place. Their place is weaving through the traffic and in-between the lanes of cars. Once we figured that out we started really seeing them. Turns out, they aren't faceless hazards after all, and, as Carol pointed out with some incredulity, some of the motoboys are women.
