biarritz

i love it here. must i go home?! just yesterday morning, i was surfing alone for 45 minutes...the entire beach to myself. the sky was pink, and in between sets the water became so calm it looked like a psychadelic shampoo, a viscous purple and pink mixture flowing past my arms as i paddled. it was amazing, like a dream come true. that would never happen in the states.

i have been here for the week, with another couple days to go. my studio is very cute. it already feels like home, tucked away in the middle of town and very convenient to everything. yesterday i rode bikes with jen and randy to bayonne, a larger town with a heavy basque influence. very, very french. biarritz is more regal and elegant, having been designed to impress the queen and napoleon.

the internet cafe is shutting down, so i must go!
