Tuesday, July 5, 2011. LETS IT ALL HANG OUT. Went from mild to wild in under thirty seconds last night after unleashing his bountiful locks in a public display of long hair.

As Abel unfurled his locks and twirled them to and fro in the cool summer breeze.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Corpus Christi from Another Perspective. Cagli was celebrating its second procession of 2011. This time it was going to pass by the street where I happen to be living in. Neighbors, friends, everybody, get together for the event. Every detail is thoroughly taken care of, each square meter is filled with graphics, flowers and farina. Green leaves decorate the sides of the street, being this, the result of the conjunction of committed hands and meticulous minds.

Even if I was unable to travel abroad again in my life, by interacting with different people, anywhere, my intercultural journey will continue.
