This is my host-grandfather Elizibar, tending our still. It is making "tcha-tcha" - a spirit made by distilling wine.

Our balcony. That's corn there, obviously. They pile it up all over the place. And those are my clothes, waiting to be dry.

Workers installing the cabinets in our new kitchen, which has only ever been concrete floors and walls. Still, concrete can be cozy.

is this me, having only just decided to create a photoblog?
