May 25th

Today (May 25th) is a very special day for me. My two men have birthday today :) Yes my son is today 16 years old and my husband is today 43. Both of them are bond by numbers... now both of them are 7 (1+6=7, and 4+3=7) It has always been like that, they always get the same age :) and I love these kind of things because once more I am certain that life is magic.

Luis Alberto loves Rome, and his birthday present was a trip to that amazing city. He must be there right now... I am posting here a 5 year old pic where we both were in Rome.

felicidades a tus dos hombres y a ti también por ese trío bonito que hacéis.
ES bonita esta imagen de Roma, con una luz tenue que vine de la izquierda, yo estuve unas horas de camino a Bogotá, y me pareció la ciudad más romántica del mundo, mucho más que parís,

bonita también esa historia de tu larga cabellera de adolescente,

como dice Zbelnu, tú siempre festejando, me encanta asomarme a tu mundo,

abrazos bella Odette

Appena vista la foto, ero sul punto d'indispettirmi. Come - mi son detto - viene a Roma e non mi dice nulla? :-)

Gracias!!! Pero no somos un trío :) formamos un cuarteto pues tengo una niña también que en 3 meses más tendrá 15 años :)

Sí V, Roma tiene una magia muy especial...me encanta ese caos que también tiene. Es una ciudad viva! En cambio Paris siempre me ha parecido un escaparate... es bellísimo Paris, pero no es para mi, jamás he sentido allí lo que he sentido en Italia :)

Y a mi me encanta asomarme al tuyo, siempre aprendo tanto!!! Y qué hacías en Bogotá???

Abrazos para ti bella V.

Fausto,

Figurati! Quando sia di nuovo lá, di sicuro ti contatteró... Io amo tutta l'Italia e sopratutto Roma :)

hola Odette! (regreso tarde pero regreso!)Sí, ya sabía lo de tu hija, pero me refería al trío por lo que explicas en tu post de los números y edades,

me fui a Bogotá con un antiguo novio que era escritor de teatro, muy famoso en varios países iberoamericanos, que trabajaba allá a menudo. Mi madre además trabajó hace muchos años de azafata de Avianca, por lo que aún tiene amigos en esa ciudad. Colombia me fascinó.

abrazos,

Michel Rojkind and Victor Legorreta at the RA

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
