Treasures from the past couple of weeks: a gnarled piece of driftwood, a swiss cheese rock, a perfect round stone, a fully in-tact sand dollar, and a piece of sea glass. I'd tell you where they're from, but I'd have to kill you ;)
I'm sitting here watching Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo as I'm writing this post.
I pulled this textile out the other day as a table cloth for a dinner celebrating some very special friends that were in town visiting. This happens to be my most favorite relic from my trip to Peru - appropriate to be watching this film from my laptop on this same table. Fitzcarraldo was filmed in the northern Peruvian jungle - Iquitos and Urubamba. We stayed in the South, in the Tambopata region, outside of Puerto Maldonado.
A funny fact about the film: Mick Jagger was supposed to play a significant role, but shooting was delayed and he had to leave on tour. His entire part was deleted.
