My family is trying to reduce our plastic waste. I took this picture for plasticless.com, but it looks so good that I thought I would post it here as well.

When we we walking towards the market square this morning, we yielded the narrow sidewalk to a line of tourists. It was a bit surreal to see seven retirement aged people in a row all eating bananas and walking in lockstep.

It’s carnival week here and it is not uncommon to see medium sized groups of young boys in gorilla masks behaving badly. The anonymity makes it a bit scary even for a tough guy like me. I had to smile when I was driving back to my neighborhood and saw a gorilla tagging along with his mom, thus blowing his cover.
