Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
I can’t believe it’s only been a month since we visited the south of France. Time takes on a different feel when your country is falling into the depths of authoritarianism, Je pense. After some time mentally escaping reflecting on the quick week we spent in Marseille and Nice, I’ve found myself repeatedly returning to … Continue reading Au revoir, France
At this point, you know that I am very thoughtful about my wardrobe, oui? When I go to Europe I plan my outfits carefully, both for appearances and packing. If all I have is a carry on piece of luggage, I need to make good choices - especially if I’ll be traveling for 3+ weeks, … Continue reading A la mode – fashion observations from France

Thanks to yesterday’s Lunar New Year holiday from school, I finally had an opportunity to catch the movie at its sole late afternoon showing at my neighborhood … Continue reading The Last Showgirl

Was he perhaps laughing with nerves … Continue reading Frozen in time
