my homage to bourdain (a photo dump)

his death hit me harder than any other and today i decided to honor him. i started with hunting down a hole-in-the-wall mexican joint in rapid city (bliss to my taste buds!) and adventuring from there.

found a piece of the berlin wall





the city has invested in art in public places





and felt a tug on my heartstrings



wait, what's this?



this is unexpected....

Lovely tribute. I especially loved seeing the excerpt from the Daodejing in amongst the graffiti on the walls. Thank you so much for sharing.

There's so much awfulness now. It's overwhelming.

I have found--in my new circumstances--that looking for beauty or interest in my immediate surroundings helps to balance all the awfulness.
