Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Sunday, April 29, 2012. Latin America: League Tables. Why then, and this is not only my particular case - does this barren land possess my mind? I find it hard to explain. But it might partly be because it enhances the horizons of imagination.". Towering in the Imagination. Off Grid in Uruguay. We saw many startling and memorable things on our trip. There are colours, images and tastes that will stay with us. But one of the de...It wa...

Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. 36 Hours in Paris. What if world famous monuments were to vanish? What would Paris be without the Eiffel Tower? New York without the Empire State? Sebastien, Iris and Jas. The promise of being able to do absolutely anything with one's life! Basile, Paul and Jonas. Under "A Day in Paris". An amazing way to be chez soit même in a city abroad. Any of you thinking of a holiday week or two in Blighty w...Ever ...

Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. If you want to get ahead in life, get yourself a hat". Cuzco was underwhelming, and its outskirts are dispiriting. And yet, the women walk proud in their dayglo colours and hats! A surplus of imported colonists' hats that first started an accidental fashion? An appropriation and subversion of the gringos' sign of authority? I'm not sure that anyone knows for sure. As we depart Cuzco (the road is downhill ...

Il faut cultiver notre jardin: Marin by Day and Night
http://il-faut-cultiver-notre-jardin.blogspot.com/2012/03/marin-by-day-and-night.html
Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Sunday, March 25, 2012. Marin by Day and Night. We catch up with Flo's cousin Alain and his family on the beach in Marin. These occasional encounters are a great reminder of parallel lives in a family, branches of a Swiss tree that now span from Lausanne to Los Angeles. Suddenly, Paul and his cousin Lucien are at university toying with careers in tech, while Marie contemplates film school at USC. Massimo took over a local kitchen when...

Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Saturday, March 31, 2012. New York: Last Stop. The American Airlines terminal at JFK is not bad for a bankrupt airline, but can't possibly compete. And the road into town is more uneven than many we've driven well South of the border, but the Empire State is a blue beacon as we round the bend in Queens and majestic Manhattan comes into view against the night sky. Cruising along the FDR at twilight reminds me of the three years of dawn...

Il faut cultiver notre jardin: January 2012
http://il-faut-cultiver-notre-jardin.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. 909km in Uruguay: Colonia. Swept up in the nineteenth century's wave of nationalist self-determination, they managed to wrest independence from competing powers. Like its neighbours, however, Uruguay also succumbed to military repression in the 70's, and got swept up in the Argentine crisis in the early 2000's. The ferry terminals to-and-fro might have been Eurostar for all their efficiency. I found it a...

Il faut cultiver notre jardin. 12 weeks gardening leave, and counting. Sunday, March 25, 2012. SFO: the Luck of the Few. The Mamas and The Papas will tell you that "If You're Going to San Francisco, Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair. You're Gonna Meet Some Gentle People There". You will also meet some people seriously down on their luck. Even on Market Street, you have to dodge the Jesus freaks and hobos with shopping trolleys like something from Cormac McCarthy's The Road. On our last evening, w...
