Nordelta

Traveling is one of the best things in life, without a doubt. When you can't travel the second best thing is discover new places around your house, and so I did yesterday when my friend Giselle took me to meet Nordelta, her sister's neighborhood in the north of Buenos Aires. We enjoyed a quiet afternoon, swam in the pool, fed the ducks and an occasional otter, drank coffee and headed back downtown in time for Tintin (which I really liked, btw). It was a lovely Friday :)

Any big plans for this weekend? Hope you have a nice one! x

Punta in Film (II)

Punta del Este and a little Piriápolis.

Magic indeed.

A new playlist here.

Punta in Film

More things that happened on December 05:

I developed this photos from Punta del Este I took with a disposable camera. I'm currently into that type of cameras, they are really nice :)

The Morran's Book Project is ready, if you wanna find out what is it about please visit the previous link or Camilla's Blog.

And last but definitely not least an Earth-like planet was recently discovered, is called Kepler 22-b. I posted a couple of articles in my 2012 Blog. Does someone fancy to join me on that interstellar trip?

Piriápolis I

Exactly one week ago I was wondering around Piriápolis in Uruguay. A little city near Punta del Este on the coast of Río de la Plata. On the photos you can see a little bit of the seaside and the Argentino Hotel. Between the years 1920 and 1930 that hotel was one of the biggest hotels of South America. Now, due to the declined popularity of Piriápolis as a resort and the lack of proper maintenance the luxurious hotel would fit perfectly as location of a summer version of The Shinning.

Hace justamente una semana estaba paseando por Piriápolis en Uruguay, una pequeña ciudad cerca de Punta del Este en la costa del Río de la Plata. En las fotos pueden ver un poco de la costa y el Hotel Argentino. Entre los años 1920 y 1930 ese hotel fue uno de los más grandes de Suramérica. Ahora, por el descenso de popularidad de Piriápolis como balneario y por la falta de mantenimiento las instalaciones de tan lujoso hotel quedarían perfectas como una locación para una versión de verano de The Shinning.

Food Memories From My Holidays

 Byron in South Kensington. Dinner with Lorena. Tasty hamburgers, super cold beer.

These nachos were our appetizers.

 Scandinavian food in a place in Soho, London. I can't remember the name,

I went there with Osiris and Vanessa.

 Lots of sushi in Okirama in Paris. My first night visiting my friend Danielle.

 A perfect pic-nic in the Eiffel Tower with Danielle, a baguete, a Camembert,

olives and a bottle of wine.

Back from Paris. Dinner at home with more cheese!

The meal I want to have all the Sundays of my life: Sunday Roast

at The Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington.

 Fish and Chips. Of course.

 A typical English Breakfast. Complete. Delicious. This was in Budleigh Salterton, Devon.

 Mackerel fish with cream cheese (Chris's recipe) and king prawns salad with Red Stripe (yeah!). Lunch in the garden.

Bi Bim Bap in Bi Bim Bap Soho. I so love Korean food.

Everytime I see a food post on Sandra Juto's blog I get both hungry and happy, so I though I can share my food memories with you all. The photos are not that pretty because they are from my Blackberry, but seeing all this dishes together definitely made me remember some very nice moments, and also got me both hungry and happy, so at least speaking for myself only, the mission of this post is accomplished.

London according to my BB (I)

My temporary homes sweet homes and some scenes from the streets,

like Billy Elliot being hit by a taxi. That's London.

As soundtrack of this post a song that's been in my mind this whole week :)
