Blog upgrade!

Uncategorized

Guys, I’m so excited. I upgraded my blog! I did this so I can post videos and better quality photos. So here are some:

This is the second time I have found legs sticking out of a high wall in this city. Art installation? Extremely lost guy? Some other secret third thing?
This charcuterie board fed four people. Twenty euros. Natch.
Nearly everybody still uses real trees at Christmas, so the city provides designated tree disposal sites after the holidays. This is one of them, a few blocks away from my apartment. It was cleared away the next morning.
Wheat paste posters for the big protest about retirement reform. “Sixty years max as the age of retirement!”
The family of some of the kids I tutor gave me this as a Christmas gift. It is part of a traditional Provencal Christmas feast called the thirteen desserts.
A poster for a demonstration against and memorial for genocide that was organized by the students of my school. No specific genocide, just genocides generally.
You would think that the enterprising spirit can only be found in America, but some French people know how to capitalize. Here you can see a man selling sausage and hot dogs on a moving grill while he walks the protest. He’s selling to hungry protesters, of course.
Another view of the travelling grill stand. It has rollers that are spaced and sized to align with the tracks used by the city trams. This is a real man of genius.
The Turkish consulate, which I pass while walking to one of my tutoring gigs.
Part of the Festival of Lights was this projection on the sides of the art museum and a government building. Surrounded by thousands of people in the dark, suddenly seeing this appear before me felt like a fever dream.
