i'm surrounded by beautiful things, in a country that i now see to be just as magnifique.

my host is someone who likes to watch tennis after she has a home prepared meal after she returns from mass after she does the shopping for the week, perhaps. she is married to someone who was photographed as a handsome young teen in algeria...and who is concerned about africa, about what teenagers are thinking today. and about american police television.

I'm very happy.
