Over the next year, Doppleganger will become a travelblog! Expect highly saturated pictures of: Parisian fruit stalls, grocery-store treasures, and well-dressed French children. Also, hopefully: travels in rural spain (possible portrait of my masseuse-aunt and the uncle who has a glass eye and three olympic gold medals), jaunts to London and Oxford, and more.
