Santa Lucia

March 1, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

Lazy day. I spent it in Parque Forestal, in a café and then on the Santa Lucia hill, reading under a palm tree. Santa Lucia is a small hill in the heart of Santiago, a steep climb with a nice view, and a couple of fountains. It is the heart of the city of Santiago. […] Read More

The Art of Asking

December 22, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

I first saw Amanda Palmer in 2007 at a concert in Berkeley, playing a couple of songs with her band, the Dresden Dolls, at Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Tour. I was intrigued by this weird, punk-rock-meets-cabaret singer and her songs, and went right into Amoeba Records the next days to find their records. I kept following […] Read More

Lake Washington

July 27, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

Summer is in full swing, so this weekend was a really lazy one. After the match Rubgy vs. Sisters, I went on a beer bust for the rest of the day and ended up bar hopping with my friend Daniel until very, very late. Sunday I tried to sleep in, and then headed down to […] Read More

Happy B-day, DD

June 10, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

One of my childhood heroes since I could read, and still today I fondly take one of my old comics and go through his adventures, all over again… Donald Duck turned 80 today, having made his first appearance in Disney’s short animated film The Wise Little Hen on 9 June 1931. Later on, Disney cartoonist Carl Barks took over […] Read More

Rain check

May 9, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

I woke up pretty late – I sleep well in this bed – to the sound of pouring rain. The water was running down my street in front of my window. I spent most of the day inside and on the couch, reading, and eating. I only went to the supermarket to get some fruit, […] Read More

Slow days

February 28, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

I’m still feeling a bit slow, from my light cold. So these past two days I have mostly strolled around town, starting with the usual morning coffee session ritual that includes emails, surfing and booking. I got a haircut, and I ordered some sun glasses, finally. I forgot my sunglasses and my second pair in […] Read More

Still under the weather

October 8, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

I’m still under the weather, struggling with my cold, so I went to a pharmacy to get some paracetamol and something to unblock my nose…. On the way, I stopped at Delirio Tropical again and had lunch, a veggie burger (that turned out to be just the burger, not the bread stuff) and salad…. healthy […] Read More

Acclimatization processes

October 7, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

I had felt it since that walk on the beach the other day in what was quite a cold wind… I was getting a cold myself. And after another stint at the beach, and a session in a hyper-cooled-down cinema, here I am, a day in bed with blocked nose, tons of tissues and feeling […] Read More

I h a v e t i m e . . .

August 4, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

Today, as I’m lying in Hyde Park in London, just with a book, wasting time in such an amazing city with a book I could read on any rainy day, I realized, again, what a big luxury I have… Time. I have nothing to do today, nowhere to be, nothing to see, just be and […] Read More
