Miasma – Belem, Brazil – [01/13/2012]

Where the warm winds fill the sheets – San Juan – [12/23/2011]
Much as I was looking forward to seeing San Juan, I’m afraid I can’t tell you anything about it. I didn’t get past the end of the dock. I was supposed to have IPM today, so despite a 4 hour … Continue reading
