This picture was taken in Wuxi [无锡影视城], China, in June 2005, the first time my daughter and I visited the southern part of China. On that same trip, we also visited Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hongzhou–the last two cities have been dubbed “Paradise on Earth.”
Reflections

I took fancy to this little cafe and its outdoor setting while I was teaching at LaCoste in spring 2008.
Matador
While teaching at LaCoste, France in spring 2008, I took this picture during one of the day trips to Nimes and the largest remaining Roman arena.
