Desto3 faithful followers: so sorry about the long hiatus. We’ve been states-bound and busy with novels, photo gallery production* and other silly things. So, mea culpa, and… we’re baaaaaack. (Virtually.)

Until we get those passports back into some serious international circulation we’ll be posting some of Pablo’s best photos. Think of these as “The Best o’ Desto”. Just so we can keep our hands in play and our lovely friends and followers lusting for travel.

Enjoy!

Now, a word about the universality of certain kinds of communication. This young lady was sitting on the sidewalk of a busy highway in the middle of Windhoek, Namibia – a decently big city. She and three or four girlfriends were (wo)manning their “boutique” while minding the rug-rats. A kind of topless “Bracelets R Us”, if you will. Notice the ubiquitous communications device in her hand. This utterly African tableau gave no one on the street pause. (Except for us.) So, of course I inquired who she was calling. Turns out that no matter who you are or where you live, (or what you are wearing), you still gotta call your mom. Call me crazy, I don’t know why, but somehow, the universal truth of that gives me hope for the future of the world.
