Isla Mujeres!!! I go there all the time for morning Mai Tais on the beach and barracuda fishing!
Everybody drives golf carts on the island. Perhaps that came about after the truck accident.

Those French….. sooo… how do you say?….. Chic!

He was giving a look that so many people have given me that I’m thinking of doing a book of photos called, “What the fuck are you looking at?”

Your comment made me smile. Now when I look at the shot I find myself thinking of him bursting in song ala Maurice Chevalier’s “Thank Heaven for Little Girls”.

He almost looks as if he could burst into song (no, Razz, not flames) at any minute, dancing down the rue with a rope of garlic around his neck. Very atmospheric.

Yes, it is truly painful to realize that over there, on the other side of the planet, there are millions with no water, even dying because of that…, while we wash our cars, take endless showers and baths… It is really terrible how our minds, at least mine, eagerly wants to suppress this awareness, deny it all… and take another relaxing bath.

OMG, I love your photos and comments. It brings back memories of all the trucks and truck drivers with truly weird ideas and perceptions, that I have seen around the world… Oh my oh my, made my evening again…

Sometimes it’s good to go through a little hardship so we can enjoy the little things that we take for granted.

Grasswire.

You’re right I have a lot of other places that I would much rather return to. Morocco is a very visually beautiful country unfortunately it’s populated with lots of people that I thought were behaving badly. I’ll be writing more in the future about Morocco.

Reading your posts on Marocco I got the impresion that it is not a country you will re-visit anytime soon.

Reason # 342 why I am glad you blog: I learn things. And, then, I appreciate what I have. Just got a glass of water for the hell of it. Wasn’t even thirsty.

I was surprised at how pleasant I found being around those the World Youth Day pilgrims was. I usually avoid religious people like the plague.

Thanks for dropping by. I agree about what you have to say about the need to rebut. Oscar Wilde once said, “the need to be right all the time is a sign of a vulgar mind”.

I’ll have to try panhandling for that 10mm-20mm sigma lens that I’ve got my eye on.
