So cosmopolitan of me in... Hermosillo, Mexico

Oh si! Me gusta!

Here I am in Mexico again. Filling my tummy with quesadillas, sincronizadas, carne machaca, pescado and much more.
And there is another thing... while in many parts of the world it is celebrated Halloween tonight, tomorrow in Mexico is celebrated the "dia de los muertos" or day of the dead.
I will tell you all about it after tomorrow.

Stay tuned for more news about dead people and mexican food... and how the two can be related. ;)

I love travelling

I am back to the US!
And what a pain in the ass it was to get here (and not the good kind of pain...).

1) The plane left late in Lisbon.
2) It took ages to pass through the emigration services in Newark.
3) I had to get my luggage because although I was transfering from one flight to another, they don't do that for you now. You have to take your luggage, get past through security again and run to the gate.
4) I got an A on the list of the products I was bringing with me. But that is not a good mark. That means that I had to go the the agriculture services, since I was bringing sun dried fruit... a weapon of mass destruction nowadays.
5) After all this, although the company with wich I was travelling next was informed that I was in transit, they just left without me...
6) I was offered a stay in a Hotel near the airport with dinner and breakfast included. These seems nice? Not quite. It seemed more like a Motel than a Hotel.
7) I got the flight at 7.30 am...
8) I am with a huge jet lag after sleeping in Newark (with 5h difference from Lisbon), waking up at 5am and getting to SLC with a 7h difference from Lisbon.

Jesus give me some of those Twinkies

After watching John Stewart's Daily Show in which he interviewed the paquistani president Pervez Musharaff and offered him some "twinkies" advertising them as one of the top 5 traditional US products... I finally believe it!

While I was there I never understood why they were so important. But now I understand. They are part of the North American culture and history!

The majority of North Americans don't know the names of all the 50 states... but they do know TWINKIES!!!

I can see the ads already: "Twinkies. More famous than Jesus!"
Ok.. I am going to hell for that! I only hope they have twinkies there.

Travelling

Travelling often to another country for a long time has some bad consequences.

You keep saying goodbye to your friends.
You hope you don't cry when you say goodbye.
You keep trying to save friendships.
You try to convince yourself that life can be the same as before.
But everything changes...

Go to one place and be with the person you love. Go to another place and be with your old friends.
Damn it! Can't I have both???

Sorry... I just had to let it out!

:o)

1 city
1 night
1 drink
1 smile
1 hug
1 kiss

1 year.
Thank you!

Good heart

According to my last blood test, I have problems with my liver, cholesterol, uric acid... but at least I am a person with a good heart. The ECG says it!

The gates of heaven will open for me!

Hmmm... actually... maybe not. ;)
