Sí, se te pone un nudo en la garganta y no sabes que hacer para soltarlo. Tal vez llorar es bueno, pero tal vez eso no basta. Porque si lloras te saldrán los llantos con un gusto de amargo sentimiento. Y, además, que llorando no te calmas. No se te calma el nudo ni […]

Cubanos, He encontrado este documental donde músicos y actores cubanos hablan de sus experiencias al llegar a Madrid, tanto en el sentido profesional como en el sentimental. Nos hacen llegar sus opiniones, nostalgia por La Habana y sus emociones al regresar a la isla de visita. Si aun no lo han visto se puede encontrar […]

Last few days I’ve been going around the Inner Richmond (or should I say up and down) buying groceries, doing my dirty Burning Man laundry and spending sometime with friends. First, I entered a market with Russian products, Russian workers and customers speaking to me in Russian. Great! Even the tea boxes I got are […]

Los cubanos se visten hoy de azul por la Virgen de Regla y mañana de amarillo, por la Caridad del Cobre, patrona de Cuba. Los isleños celebran estos días con muchas flores, velas y cantos, ya sea en la casa o en la iglesia. Ambos días son celebrados tanto por los católicos como por los […]

Second Burning Man and back! I still believe that this festival is something out of this world. The Playa and the whole city seemed so familiar after a year that it almost felt that we never left. It was weird not to see the same faces, the camps not set up the same way or […]

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. To me Jack Layton was not only the New Democratic Party (NDP) face but also the downtown Torontonian that was known for understanding his community and the needs of the city. Only two months ago […]

Almost done dismantling the apartment. There are some scattered objects all over the place that need to go into boxes and all other necessary things that we are bringing with us but even the bed is gone now. We are using our camping air mattresses to sleep this last week. It looks that we have succeeded at moving, […]
