Favorite Photo of the Weekend



It happens that in India, the young boys are the most approachable, friendly and curious. Many times it's because they have learned English, have been to school, and are interested in the rest of the world. So, it is often I find myself in India hanging out with a few young men, chatting about American things and Indian things. Here I am in Mysore, in December 2003, talking with some chaps that wanted to know all about California.

Reminds me of an experience my parents had last winter traveling to Balise.

They were on the beach and 4 local boys came and introduced themselves, asking my parents where they were from. My Dad started telling them all about Alberta. They were in disbelief about the fact that trees lost their leaves and that snow was often so deep it required a tractor to plow the driveway. My Dad then told them that he'd checked the temperature at home that day, and while they were in the sun, it was @ -37 at home. The boys were stunned, then one spoke up.

" Damn mister, black boy like me would freeze his balls off there! "
