Blame Canada!

After about 6 years of my sister’s family living in Canada, I finally decided that I had to go up there for a visit, and of course, being the intelligent person that I am (or trying to convince people of such) I decided to avoid the cold Canadian winter by scheduling my visit for the warmer summer months… and warm it was!

I’m not much of a fan of hot weathers, and this was no exception. Damn it was hot. Luckily my sister’s place is equipped with a kick ass airco that kept me nice and cold.

Anyways, it was a very nice trip (more…)

Vamos por Colombia!

Well, there’s not much to say besides the fact that Evula and I had a TERRIFIC time in Colombia.

Pero bueno, empecemos por donde toca… por el principio!

Salimos de Delft el 7 de julio con rumbo a Bratislava (Eslovaquia). Vale la pena mencionar que el pronostico del tiempo antes de irnos decia que nos iba a llover y relampaguear toda la semana… y ya se van a dar cuenta en las fotos y los videos de la cantidad de nubes que vimos.

Muy bonito el centro de Bratislava. Muy bien cuidadito y se nota que es la joya turisitca de la ciudad y del pais en general. Cafes y restaurantes por doquier, a precios que comparados con Holanda eran una ganga. El resto de la ciudad por el contrario… (more…)
