My first trip to Mexico was to Yucatán. Land of the Maya. I was in Grad school at the Univershity of Alabamer, Tuscalooser. A good friend of mine then, Victor E. was from Mérida. I saw him at the cafeteria in Mary’s Hall. “Hey Victor. What’s up man?” “Great” he says. “I’m going home in the…
Another journey in space and time. Who cares about numbers? Scotty is still working on the dinosaurs safari project. So he says. I wouldn’t hold my breath. Meantime… the above was taken Rue de Seine, Paris, c. 2016. Sketch by Gil Button. “Dieu et mon droit”. London, 2015. Better hurry up to post London shots,…
Living in a predominantly Catholic country, and in a colonial neigbhourhood, you are bound to stumble across many a representation of the Virgin Mary. Today’s post: Je vous salue Marie.

Rue de Rennes. Paris, 2016. I’d been thinking about another post, but it didn’t quite come out as I wanted. So… Pot-pourri it is. The Rue de Rennes goes from Montparnasse straight on to Saint-Germain des prés. A nice walk. FNAC (our Barnes & Nobles, cum W.H. Smith) is on the right of Zara. Plenty…
“Louvre, Pavillon de Flore, early 21st century.” “Captain, if I may?” “Yes, Scotty. You may.” “We’re running out of fuel, Sir, I mean material.” “I know Scotty. There’s probably only one post left. We’ll find something. Meantime, let’s move to 1964, please.” “Roger that.” “Louvre. Pavillon de Flore*. Scotty, you sure this is ’64?” “Winter…
