((*) A tribute to Alesandro Baricco))
This year I am making a collection of the seas I was swimming in (& lakes & rivers), and one ocean.
In April I swam in the Mediterranean Sea, in
Barcelona.
In Man & June I swam in the Nieuwe Meer, a river-lake in Amsterdam.
In July I swam in the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal, and in the Baltic Sea near Copenhagen - both for the first time in my life! (photos are forthcoming)
In August - tomorrow (as they say, insha'Allah) - I will be swimming in the Adriatic Sea near Pula, in Croatia.
Missing from my collection are the closest ones: North Sea and river Amstel. I am hoping to collect their waters on my skin in September.
Thank you, all the people who went to the beaches and seas and ocean with me! Let these waters always bring us together!
