“On my last day in California, I started drinking coffee again.
We left at 3 o’clock in the morning
and I knew
if we were ever going to leave the sunshine state,
we would have to keep from looking back.
So you’re in the passenger seat,
trying to fall asleep and holding my hand in the dark. I want to tell you everything;
how I still have nightmares about my mother,
how this summer, my heart melted when your parents
asked me to call them family. I want to ask if you remember
the first road trip we ever took together,
what you were thinking about when we turned the music up and stayed quiet for a while.
The evening we spent at the beach and I had trouble
keeping up with my breath.
The groggy mornings you’d come lay with me
before you left for work. I know you start to sleep when your chest moves slow;
and I’m left, 200 miles ahead,
on some French Vanilla fantasy.”

A swiss diver, captured these pictures of one of the six anacondas he saw on his 10 day trip to Mato Grosso in Brazil. This one was about 26-feet long.

“At the first moment it’s scary because you don’t know the animal and everybody says it’s dangerous. ‘But after a while you understand that nothing happens if you respect the snake. ‘I have never been so close to a snake like this before. But I think a small poisonous snake is more scary than a big one. At least you can see the anacondas clearly and know what they’re doing.” – Franco Banfi
