Wore Her Wedding Lengha At My Wedding

speed ahead across the Atlantic. Part II

I know, I am not spending the same time than ever to blog or anything. This summer is being movidito, I hope that later on what brings me head ...
Here is the second and final part of the cruise, since among other things I like to finish what I start.
I was at our next destination: Arrecife, Lanzarote. Island known as''the volcanic island.''
This tour bus was developed precisely around volcanoes. Timanfaya National Park has 25 volcanoes and endless fields of lava, forming spaces buried or arising out of the eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736.
Into this inhospitable land they arrive, we find us with camels willing to take a walk ...

The park still has some volcanic activity in their guts. If digs the ground a few inches, get stones that burn at 60 degrees. Also things can burn in minutes if left in holes, even saw roast beef grills where thanks to the heat emissions from the land.
be there and witness the traces left by the volcano has been impressive, perhaps because it also seemed bleak. The landscape is desert and the black earth contrasts with the white houses, as in this photo:

Six hours and were back on the boat. I remember that it was a good night for us tambaleábamos corridors with the swaying of the boat, the sea was very rough and stomach better not mention it. We did not have to be inside stateroom window, but who did have said that the waves crashing against them. Surely it is normal to be a cruise on the Atlantic, but this time I do not want to repeat. Only longed to be on the ground.

The next day we find calmer waters, we were about to reach Morocco, Casablanca. I was excited for the first time stepping on Africa.
Our guide was a very nice Moroccan. He said we were lucky to be there on a Sunday because during the week traffic is a mess. He taught us to say hello in Arabic, although I have no idea how to spell.
The most interesting and impressive was entering the mosque of Hassan II. He encouraged the villagers to build. The interior can accommodate 25,000 people and 80,000 abroad. It was built on an artificial peninsula on the water. Do not grasp the majesty of the temple, if you want to see photos HERE Enter
The tour ended with a visit to the famous bazaars. I remember that highlighted the visit as safe and theft would have no problem ... Casablanca despite having this great mosque and being the country's economic capital, unfortunately has a lot of poverty.

The ship had a daily schedule there is consulted actions and activities, including suggestions of how to dress ... A gala night because we dress we would all know the captain. We looked a little peliculero and gave us laughter, but finally agreed to go.

And our penultimate stop was to Cadiz, I think it was less time where we were. We just spent walking, hiking paths that were still on the floor and met its narrow streets and its beautiful cathedral. Heat so take advantage of its beaches and in the end we went for a swim.

desembarcábamos The very next day in Vigo and ended this wonderful trip.

Finally, many by Eliane and Noelia for this nice prize to recognize the values. All the blogs I visit deserve this award so I give it to them too.

How To Masterbatie Step By Step

AELITA DE ALEXÉI TOLSTÓI

Alexei Tolstoy's Aelita
Ed Nevsky Prospects, 2010
Translation: Marta Sanchez and Fernández Nieves
281 pp. 16 euros


Many has been the literary fascination with space travel has led to since Jules Verne made it a novel From the Earth to the Moon (1865) and also much that has fantasized about what the space we would find, not always with positive visions, quite the opposite from The War of the Worlds (1898) by HG Wells. Coincidentally The War of the Worlds also gives us a vision of what Mars could expect. However, in the world of the Soviet Union, the vision they had of Mars is given by other novels. Remember the fantastic Red Star (1908) by Alexander Bogdanov, also edited by Nevsky Prospects, which in this case, is a reference nearest to explain this Aelita (1922) Alexei Tolstoy (1833-1945). But before we delve into these distinctions, think a moment, from our perspective of English readers in some previous references, because, although Tolstoy's novel is much older, has come to us much later that his later works were more that known. To my mind come the fantastic story of Ray Bradbury, now a classic, Martian Chronicles (1950) or the humorous go home Marciano (1955) by Frederic Brown or nearest trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars (1992), Green Mars (1993), Blue Mars (1996) covering the human life on Mars during a period of 35 years and was praised by Arthur C. Clarke as the best novel of the colonization of Mars. Surely the reader will find many more references to complete this impromptu list. It is best to read Tolstoy's novel as a classic that has come late.

We talked about the work of Alexander Bogdanov because it is earlier than that of Alexei Tolstoy and I emphasize a few things in common: a very clear who is speaking from a trip to Mars. And another deep, it contains a political-ideological burden very much in keeping with the revolutionary events that accompanied the creation and early years of the Soviet Union. These aspects are also remarkable, perhaps a somewhat less designed or sketched in Aelita.

What is the argument Aelita? It's basically the story of an engineer who dreams of traveling to Mars for which a former soldier recruits recent graduates. On Mars you'll find a world that will open your eyes to what he left on Earth but at the same time, you can open your heart to love in a battered Mars. Because Aelita, under that layer of science fiction and revolution, is basically a love story. A story of love that redeems the protagonist, Loss, following the death of his wife, in a process similar to that suffered Martin Eden, hero of Jack London's work, for Ruth.

Tolstoy's novel has many parallels with works such as London, as the expression of the revolutionary process that also exists in Red Star. Also with respect to that innocence that exists in the telling of the story, sometimes a bit primitive, others maybe a little naive. On the other hand, the story initially surprised us all hard or scientific jargon, such as Red Star , reaching at times too slow to do the narration.

After a first third of the novel, the sensation of being a science fiction text disappears too hard to give way to a more allegorical text in which the author legend through narration and reflections Aelita of Loss, the engineer, and Gusev, the soldier, we enter the Martian culture. A story sometimes too slow and not always properly managed, which leads to the third most significant and interesting of the novel where the story of love and the revolutionary outcome. Highlight the final where, with skill, the author reserves information like a bomb dropping aircraft at the right time. Good conclusion, well run and certainly unexpected.

prepared the reader who wishes to confront the text of Tolstoy to read a classic such as Verne, HG Wells, or even Rider Haggard

How To Fade Impetigo Scars

speed ahead across the Atlantic.

July was the month of travel, there is much to tell about them. I was trying to write about my journey across the Atlantic, which among other things I have found an adventure.

Make a cruise gave me respect for the sea, but encouraged me and I decided to do. He wanted me to fuss, but inevitably I valued more than ever land which floor when I found that deep sea, restless and dark. Invade the feeling that we are nothing before the potential of the ocean, we are somewhat small and insignificant.

Vigo

We embarked on a Tuesday and arrived at the island of Madeira in the port of Funchal on Thursday morning, a day sailing. That day we made navigation an evacuation ... On hearing the emergency siren had to put on life jackets that were in the cabins and see behind the door, the path that would lead us to a life boat, a boat which claimed up to 150 people and always had food and water apparently had enough boats for everyone. In front of the boat we were put in rows from smallest to largest ... and I thought I remembered the Titanic sinking in case not all going to be so ordered, panic can cause havoc. Thankfully not got on the boat, the simulation ended.

The rest of the day the animation team provided plenty of entertainment, but we often amused watching the sea, even there were times when water movement was mesmerizing. Dolphins sighted twice in different classes, it was exciting to see nature in its purest form, without any preparation, they jumped and dived in that ocean they wanted.

Our first trip by land was in Funchal. We had the idea to cover part of the island in a Jeep 4x4 ... The driver was very pleasant and behold breathtaking views from the mountains, but sometimes we put the scare in the body because occasionally were on the brink of precipices. It was an exciting and focused visits to nature.

spent about six hours in Funchal, our next destination was Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Another night on board the ship, when he will to peek over the railing, the dark outside filled it all, without a light at the horizon sad. And looking down, mixed with sewage strength in the white foam that left the ship.

arrived the next morning to Tenerife, another island paradise planned tourism. This trip was more peaceful. We met a friend and visit La Laguna, one of the most colorful of the island by the old town. Surprises with its temperature, we suffocate in the port need a jacket, is a valley and apparently before there was a gap. We spent about eight hours in good company, but the ship was waiting for us and we had to board again.

I look forward to more of this fabulous trip another time. Also left pending my short visit to Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba city that attracted me for years. By the way, I wanted to give my congratulations to the community of Catalonia, was on the ground that it was abolished a few days ago bullfights in all regions. Bravo! Torture is not art or culture.
