Where is the narrator speaking from in the present? (Read the text and answer the question)

The narrator and his brothers slept on the roof of their father's farmhouse.

The stirring of olive trees, the bleating of their mother's goats and the clanking of her cooking pots woke the narrator and his brothers up in the mornings at the farmhouse.

The memory that the narrator has of Marwan's mother from their trip to Homs is her showing Marwan a herd of cows grazing in a field with wildflowers.

The narrator wishes Marwan remembered the soot of the farmhouse's stone walls and the creek where the narrator and his brothers built dams.

The narrator mentions a mosque, a church and a grand souk in the bustling Old City of Homs.

Gold pendants, fresh produce and bridal dresses were sold in the grand souk of Homs.
