Ambiciones

La vida es el reflejo de nuestras ambiciones moldeado por la realidad.
Hay veces que nos muestra lo que queremos ver y otras que no da nada. Un mismo deseo puede brillar como el sol en un momento dado y ser un agujero negro en otro.
Solo depende de la realidad, y esa realidad es la única que vale, todo lo demás no son más que tenues imágenes que pueden desaparecer en una décima de segundo o quedar grabadas para la posteridad.

Las bicicletas son para el verano

Al menos no son para el invierno, y sinó mirad este ejemplo.
Por la zona donde vivo hay varios ejemplos parecidos a este ya que muchas de las biciletas han sido aparcadas donde han aparecido goteras..... y a 18 bajo cero una gotera.... se convierte en una gran bola de hielo :-P

Tourism busses

All those tourism busses are a real marvell. I have never used one of those in Madrid, but I have used them in Rome and Paris and they really show you the most authentic parts of the city.

I would recommend everyone to use them in the first visit day to an unknown city since they will give you a perfect overview of all those cities.

By the way, I don´t have any business related with any of them ;-)

Tourism in Madrid


Tourism in some European capitals is quite fun, usually it is funnier than living there. In this case this is the "Square of the Letters" in Madrid. It is funny to find that in some parts of the sidewalk you can read some sentences of well known spanish writers.
At the end of this street you will be in "Santa Ana Square", also worth visiting on Fridays / Saturdays night. You can find plenty of pubs suitable for all tastes and some of them with a nice international touch.

Hacer el pino puente

Yo nunca he sabido que era hacer el pino puente pero esto debe ser lo más parecido que hay a hacerlo (al menos en versión elefantil :-D )

Aunque puede parecer bastante raro la foto está colocada en la dirección correcta. Aquests catalans de la Fundació la Caixa són rars rars rars ;-)

Aeropuertos

Mañana voy a visitar este mismo y por la pinta que tiene el tiempo esta va a ser la estampa que me voy a encontrar.

Esta foto es de no hace mucho tiempo pero es totalmente válida, el tiempo que hacía entonces es el mismo que hace ahora y desde entonces hasta ahora no hemos tocado los cero grados (siempre hemos estado por debajo) así que...

Waiting for the midnight sun

Now the days are starting to become longer, there is starting to be a noticeable amount of light increase and we are letting the winter "start to finish".

In 4-6 months we will have almost 7 more daylight hours in the morning and in the afternoon. This means a huge difference with what we have had so far.

Big differences for a different country. And I would like to say that in a lot of very good ways, Sweden is different!!
(Please this has nothing to do with Spain is different!! Thanks $DEITY they are completely different. :-P )

On the work again

One year more here we are, working as usual, with the car in the garage to fix the last strange bits in it and with a lot of hope that this year we will be able to see the sun in spring.

For the time being it is still snowing :-P

White Hell

Here we are again, with temperatures lower than -10C and up to -24C

Yesterday I discovered two things:

First thing is how easy is to open any car which is locked. two minutes in the worst case, and using one minute for smoking a cigarrete after it (or just recovering from the surprise if you don´t smoke).

Second is that a car can freeze on the INSIDE :-P
