It is easy to become unaware of your surroundings. By being blindfolded I was able to tune into all of the noises in the background. There is so much depth to the simple sounds that are in every day life. We really are never in silence. Even though I didnt see where I was, I always knew because of the noises. I could tell I was in the coffee shop, or in a bathroom, or outside. I associated noises with their surroundings. It was so interesting to realize the things that I so easily miss in my daily routine.
