The new surrealism

So far, so totally bizarre.

The lack of images is due to a little issue with getting a connection up and running at Camp Algiers - a little place not unlike Camp Grenada, except that there are a hundred campers to a tent rather than the standard dozen. I'll put a pic up as soon as possible - it's an image to make even the most battle-hardened European hostel-goer cringe (god's only mercy in this case being that the shower facilities are extensive and well-utilized).

As for the city, it's every bit the nightmare vision you've imagined it, even six months after the fact. Byzantine bureaucracy and manic disorganization exist alongside dizzying waste and human misery. Oh, and Mardi Gras. We're all stocking up on beads . . .

To tide you over, here's a link to the organization we're working with. Such nice people . . . www.mardigrasservicecorps.com
