Today I managed to get a second hand bicycle and it was quiet nice to ride it around the city. San Francisco hills will be unforgettable. Downhills are almost scary and to bike uphill you need really strong legs! 🙂 The person who sold us the bike is a Newyorker who moved to San Francisco […]
I am officially jobless and homeless. Last night we finally finished packing and said goodbye to our first apartment in Toronto. With all these mixed emotions I didn’t have too much time to think so I am still in the process of getting used to the changes. The only thing I can say is that […]
This weekend Fonseca will have a small concert in Havana’s Fine Arts Museum. I have never seen him live! One day I will. One day, great piano man!!! 🙂
Today an incredible Canadian leader has left us. I woke up this morning and read the news with great grief.

Today I went out for lunch to The Pilot,  a Yorkville restaurant with a nice rooftop patio ( The Flight Deck). I kept looking at a city full of tall buildings and cranes.
