Teresa and Nat

It was a pleasant evening on a porch under the bid mimosa trees, with hand-made wine.

Joe Street is a musician who plays acoustic guitar and the bass guitar in a band called Möbius Strip. “So happy to help you Lena : )”. He drove extra miles to get me through the area where there were no shoulders on the road. He told that every day he must do something nice for others, and here am I.

Teresa, Nat and their daughter. I slept in a hammock on this porch, smelling mimosa tree. Nat’s hobby was making wine, and we enjoyed it with a conversation.

From journalism and car racing in Russia to teaching at the University in South Africa, where she won Alliance de France and the British Consulate international photo contests, she switched paths: earned a silver medal at the 2011 World Masters Athletics USA, hiked the 2,081-mile Appalachian Trail, navigated the Amazon from Peru to Brazil, biked Route 66 from Chicago to LA, from London to Orkney, and from Canada to Key West, and launched an art project at Midcoast Maine. During lockdown drove to Olympic Valley Palisades Tahoe where became a ski and swim instructor, then… well, enough for now.
