White Xmas in London

-

This is going to be our very first WHITE Christmas!  We  happen to live just in front of Clissold Park and when we saw through the window how beautiful white everything was,  we took our bikes and went to the park.  We saw dogs playing and hiding themselves in the snow... the children, the snowmen, the deers! everybody was happy and one of the things I enjoyed the most was to see the ducks slipping over the frozen pond.
What a wonderful day was this winter solstice!!!

Por un momento pensé al ver las fotos que era en algún lugar fuera de la ciudad, o que te habías mudado a un pueblo, pero ahora veo que es Londres !

la belleza es también orden, sin duda, y el orden exterior corresponde al mental...hay pueblos que no quieren darse cuenta

que lo disfrutes

FRIKOSAL, sí! es el parque que está frente de casa, tiene hasta venados, es lindísimo y está muy céntrico de todo lo interesante de Londres

ZOP, felice che sei venuto qui a trovarmi. Grazie tante per i tuoi complimenti

BELNU, para Navidad la nieve se había derretido, pero pronostican más nevadas este invierno :)))

DANTE, muy interesante tu reflexión, a ver si me sirve para que mis hijos ordenen sus cuartos, jajaja

Elena,

Pues parece que tendremos aún más nieve... es hermosísimo en verdad, pero Londres no está preparado, el transporte es un caos. Y a mi que me encanta andar en bici y se ha convertido en nuestro medio de transporte, pues es muy peligroso, hoy en dos ocasiones se me patinó horrible y decidí mejor amarrarla y tomar el bus :(

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.

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 ...
