blue skies, blue sea
and sand all around






my dad's land is now growing
maize, frijoles and sweet potatoes.
 There he is above, with my sister,
filming the surfers at pastora.


the waves have
been huge.


 at night, our windows
rattle with the shore break.

and

wide   open   spaces

it made our little guy
look a bit tougher.

les halles





before les halles,
the "belly of paris"
was torn down



for 800 years

market of paris

 

brewing revolution
with its pungent cheeses,
loitering thieves, lively cafés
and jungle of steel arcades.

through every vein of the city"
