Fast Talk with Vickey Wachtel

Fast Talk with Vickey Wachtel

A born treasure hunter with a gypsy soul I dreamed of faraway places I would go to as a child. Walking barefoot most days except when I was lucky enough to go to the city dump with my grandpa, you had to wear shoes there.  I loved digging through the tossed items looking for treasure and on some days we did find some, like the day grandpa found a brand new watch from the local jewelry store’s trash.

Little did I know that later I would be digging through treasures I would find in the smalls stalls and shops in Jakarta Indonesia, Karachi and Islamabad Pakistan or the Blue Suks of Sharjah in the UAE.  Or that one day I would be standing in front of the Sphinx  then yelling at a local who was smoking in a tomb and cared so little for the fact that it was still there.  Not even in my daydreams did I see myself walking the streets of Katmandu and get blessed by a Hindu priest who put red paint on my forehead and the top of my head gave me a dead flower and just smiled at me.  I walked blisters on my feet in Rome, sat on stone seats in Pompeii and marveled at what was left and what was gone.  I cried at the feet of David and wanted to badly to be able to go back in time for just one moment to be there and watch his creation.  I have walked the beaches of Honolulu, Perth, Bali, Penang, Phuket, Singapore and rode the street cars of San Francisco.

I believe dreams come true.
