In 1982 the UK is facing economic difficulties and social unrest. Margaret Thatcher is the first woman PM, and first woman ruler of a modern western power. The future of the crippled Conservative party depends on her.
Argentina invades the Falklands.
The British fleet goes all the way south to try to defend them. They are stationed somewhere north from the islands. The British gov declares an exclusion zone around the islands. Whoever (Argentina) steps into this zone will be attacked. The Argentine gov sends two groups of ship to surround the British. One of them is just outside the exclusion zone when a sub tracking them realizes that they will not be able to further follow and track them if they got into the shallow waters inside the exclusion zone. The matter is so delicate that Thatcher is consulted herself whether to fire on the Arg ships or not. She gives the order to fire and lots of people die.
When I think of it, I can’t make up my mind. Was she strong and prepared to do what it takes to defend/recover what she thinks is her country’s, was this one of this really hard decisions that take a very strong person to make and carry upon their conscience for the greater good? Or did she panic?

About:

My name is Luz and I move a lot, form apartment to apartment, from city to city, from country to country.
Over time I have developed my own small nomadic idiosyncrasy. I've given up my material possessions more than once. I grew apart from people and then re-found them. I have entered places foreign and then became local. I learned to cook food with varied ingredients and to love goat cheese.
Wandering is about experiencing. Not everything has been great, not everything has gone as planned. Maybe not everything was planned that well. But there was also good in the unexpected. I've encountered and all kinds of things, people and places: some that I met along the way, some that I left behind and learned how different they look from afar, and some that just popped into my mind during a long train ride alone.
