  • Aguas Calientes: In a Postcard
    Ahead of me lay mountains, and as the rain trickled down my face I felt like Jane about to embark on Tarzan's tree vine tour of the jungle. I would never be Jane, but the splattering jungle rain felt refreshing. The sounds and smells of my surroundings woke and sharpened my senses, quenching my thirst for adventure.


  • An angry mob
    But by the time I got to the coffee shop in the Memorial Tower Building it seemed as though the event was more on people's minds than I had originally anticipated. Even cups and saucers were thought to be too dangerous to circulate amidst the possibility of outright violence.


  • Pointillism
    People had been telling me since my first visit to the city four years ago to avoid the area. 'Well there's Point, by the docks,' one person had said at the time. 'The Nigerians control that place, so you don't want to go over there'... But I figured if I was going to learn anything real about the city in which I was living, I had to get beyond its downtown.


  • Israel, in increments
    We wandered the streets of Tel Aviv, left to our own devices. All I knew was this was the city where my father had been born, my grandmother had been born, and my great-grandfather built the first Temple from sand.
