While I spent more than a bright day on board a ship, yet I am clear about that my day spent on the bus to Tozeur, has been the brightest! The road from Tunis to the desert city of Tozeur snakes along the Algerian border and the great dried-up salt-water lake -in the Tunisian Sahara Desert- called Chott el Jerid. Usually the bus stops for a while close to the lake banks: more people and their stuff are loaded before the bus leaves again. Here the lake surface reflection combines with the intense daylight so powerfully that once almost goes blind! Yet the landscape is absolutely grand and worth the visit and everything looks clear and sharp…

I have posted this pic a few days ago on ARTFULWISDOM (please check the link on my blogroll) run by very talented and creative Ann Ellis and also joined IF’s Halloween contest with one more illo…
Although Halloween does certainly not belong to my cultural tradition it is becoming increasingly popular among Italian youngsters. Is it noteworthy that nowadays cultural exchanges are held -world wide- on the basis of exporting the pizza “culture” and importing the pumpkin’s one, according to the mesmerizing globalization and permeating market laws? (la mondialisation as the French call it, to mark the difference…)
For now my ghostly sailor wanders in the unlimited ocean of the global Internet among blogs and sites, and -off course- ads; fortunately enough genial Mc Luhan wrote:
“Any ad consciously attended to is comical. Ads are not meant for conscious consumption. They are intended as subliminal pills for the subconsious in order to exercise an hypnotic spell, especially on sociologists.”
Happy Halloween!

I’m going to be off-line from tomorrow until next saturday. I will be sailing the Adriatic Sea along the coast, on board the Nathel, maybe heading east to beautiful Kornati Islands. This is what I end up to do while on vacation. I’ll glad to catch up with you all as soon as I get back….
Have fun!

Typically Visayan, paraw is a fantastic sailing boat! Two bamboo outriggers and the coconut mid-body make up the craft. Everything is fixed firmly by strong fishing-line. Mainsail and jib, cut away from cheap …
