Correspondance de l'artiste

After a hearty lunch I decide to go see Jean-François and Yuli. It was Jean-François who first told me about Bali, it is thanks to him that I am here. They are resting on the veranda, on cushions; they look well. We talk about a thousand and one things while drinking tea.
