Actually, we did not win anything and each of us spent a little more than 4900 euros, all inclusive (see below for details). Considering it much money or not is very subjective, but from our point of view it is not that much for a such amazing experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;How did we finance it? Well, saving money while we were working... With the crisis helping, people complain always more about the cost of life and about the increasing gap between the middle class and the over rich bosses, but I always feel perplex when noticing that people keep spending money to buy the very last iPod, iPhone or iWhateverelse. Considering that Mister Apple and all his friends are rich enough and do not need us to give them our money, we are all responsible, at least in part, for the gap we complain about. And I strongly think that we would better change our consuming behaviour, supporting for example fair trade, local artisans or travel photographers. I take this opportunity to thanks all the people that bought me a picture at least once in their life :).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;I was kidding of course. More seriously, the answer to the title of this article is detailed below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Air plane tickets ...................... 2948,67 €&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Travel insurance ...................... 480,00 €&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;i.e. 45,00€ by month for each of us, during 6 months&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Expenses during the travel .... 6409,98 €&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;i.e. 18,11 € by day for each of us, during 177 days&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* TOTAL ..................................... 9838,65 €&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;i.e. 4919,33 € for each of us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-575841831305946641?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/575841831305946641/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=575841831305946641&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/575841831305946641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/575841831305946641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-much-did-it-cost.html' title='How much did it cost?'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-4331802477002050550</id><published>2009-04-08T08:48:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-10T09:53:43.606-05:00</updated><title type='text'>E' finito...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;7 Aprile 2009. Erano solo le 5 questa mattina quando ha suonato la sveglia. Ero ancora nel letto cercando di capire chi ero e dove stavo quando Pierre mi ha parlato: &lt;em&gt;"BUONGIORNO! Allora come ti senti? Preferisci svegliarti alle 5 per partire per il Messico o per ritornare a Roma?"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bella domanda. Nonostante il sonno e la poca lucidità di chi ha dormito solo 3 ore, avevo la risposta chiara: senza dubbi preferivo la prima (e sono sicura che molti condivideranno).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Durante questi sei mesi, non sempre ho pensato così, a volte ho avuto dei momenti di crisi in cui desideravo tornare alla mia quotidianità (vedi &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/le-souffle-nouveau.html"&gt;Le souffle nouvaux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;) ma ho continuato il viaggio pensando fossero momenti passeggeri dovuti alle poche comodità della vita da nomade. E così è stato. A momenti di stanchezza e demotivazione sempre si alternavano situazioni e attività interessanti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Fino a quando siamo arrivati in Brasile. A partire da questo punto abbiamo deciso di prenderci una "vacanza" dal viaggio...niente più ostelli sporchi con docce fredde quando fuori facevano 15 gradi al sole; niente più notti passate a dormire su un materasso al suolo con altre 10 persone in una stanza; niente più corse per ottimizzare il tempo e vedere più cose possibili; niente più menù economici = bassa qualità per rientrare nel nostro budget giornaliero. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Insomma gli ultimi giorni abbiamo deciso di rilassarci e di trattarci bene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Ed è da qui che ho capito quale era per me la differenza tra il viaggio e le vacanze (vedi &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/10/aqu-estamos-solo-faltan-unos-das-antes.html"&gt;El viaje no es vacaciones&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;). Nel primo caso hai nostalgia di casa, nel secondo NO. Anzi vorresti non finisse mai!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Nella tristezza del ritorno, il Brasile ha giocato un ruolo fondamentale: le spiagge, il mare, le cascate, il cibo, la musica e i colori.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Ora però sono qui su un aereo Alitalia a 6.778 km da Roma. E anche questo mi rende felice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Da questo momento inizia una nuova avventura alla ricerca di una nuova casa e di un nuovo lavoro, ma non solo... con tante nuove idee e progetti per il futuro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;E volando verso Roma canto la canzone &lt;em&gt;Samba do Aviao&lt;/em&gt; che Tom Jobin ha scritto rientrando a Rio de Janeiro dopo un periodo passato in Europa:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Braços abertos sobre a Guanabara&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Este samba é só porque&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rio, eu gosto de você&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A morena vai sambar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Seu corpo todo balançar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aperte o cinto, vamos chegar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Água brilhando, olha a pista chegando&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;E vamos nós&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pousar...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solo una ultima cosa per tutti gli amici e famigliari che ci hanno seguito con interesse, per chi ci ha accompagnato con le loro mail e i loro commenti sul blog: sappiate che è stato bello sentirvi vicini e partecipi. Abbiamo avuto la sensazione che eravate tutti lì con noi. Forse per voi non era proprio così.... hehehe.&lt;br /&gt;E per chi è dispiaciuto di non trovare più le nostre mail la mattina arrivando al lavoro, garantiamo che lavoreremo sodo per organizzare un nuovo viaggio/documentario. Magari nel frattempo diamoci il cambio!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In questi due album ci sono le ultime foto del nostro viaggio:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.it/nomesanada/Brazil2Gloria"&gt;Brazil 2 (by Gloria)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.it/nomesanada/Brazil2Pierre"&gt;Brazil 2 (by Pierre)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-4331802477002050550?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/4331802477002050550/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=4331802477002050550&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4331802477002050550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4331802477002050550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/04/e-finito.html' title='E&apos; finito...'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-8356549257556186771</id><published>2009-04-07T11:24:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T11:55:15.366-05:00</updated><title type='text'>C'est fini...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Ça y est, c'est fini",&lt;/em&gt; comme dit la chanson... Je me trouve actuellement dans l'aéroport de Rio De Janeiro où s'est achevé notre voyage. Gloria est partie ce matin de bonne heure, alors que pour ma part et ne pouvant pas bénéficier des mêmes conditions tarifaires, je ne partirai que ce soir avec un autre vol. Nous nous retrouverons demain mercredi à Rome.&lt;br /&gt;Le Brésil aura donc été le dernier pays sur notre parcours, et à vrai dire une destination un peu différente des autres. Éprouvés physiquement par le long périple qui nous a menés du Méxique à la Bolivie, et la tête bouillonnante de toutes les riches expériences vécues jusque là, nous avions décidé en entrant au Brésil de ralentir le rythme, de vivre de manière moins intense et de s'occuper un peu plus de nous-mêmes. En somme, de s'offrir quelques semaines de vacances pour se remettre d'un long voyage. En 25 jours, nous n'avons pas parcouru plus que la distance qui sépare Sao Paolo de Rio De Janeiro, et donc à défaut de voir les richesses culturelles du nord du pays, nous avons en revanche exploré de long en large les superbes plages du littoral qui longe le Tropique du Capricorne. En résumé, &lt;em&gt;"Sea, S... and Sun"&lt;/em&gt; comme le dit une autre chanson.&lt;br /&gt;Les derniers jours d'un long voyage sont toujours un peu spéciaux, et ceux passés en l'occurrence à Rio De Janeiro n'ont pas fait exception à la règle... On revoit avec un peu de nostalgie déjà les images gravées à jamais dans nos mémoires. On pense à tout ce que l'on souhaiterait faire avant de reprendre l'avion, et à tout ce que l'on aura manqué également. On abuse de toutes ces spécialités culinaires que nous avons tant appréciées et que nous ne remangerons probablement jamais. Et puis je ne pouvais pas devenir complètement végétarien avant d'avoir goûté, ne serait-ce qu'une seule fois dans ma vie, la fameuse &lt;em&gt;picanha&lt;/em&gt; brésilienne... Notre court séjour à Rio De Janeiro aura aussi été pour moi l'occasion de faire les deux!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-8356549257556186771?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/8356549257556186771/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=8356549257556186771&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8356549257556186771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8356549257556186771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/04/cest-fini.html' title='C&apos;est fini...'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-167261162202563708</id><published>2009-04-04T18:22:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-05T21:10:55.192-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Manifesto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SdgA2o5pUlI/AAAAAAAAANs/dOtGazL3938/s1600-h/Con+Christian+y+Janaina.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SdgA2o5pUlI/AAAAAAAAANs/dOtGazL3938/s400/Con+Christian+y+Janaina.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321003898430378578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"&gt;Con Janaina e Christian a Ubatuba&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"&gt;Janaina is a Brazilian industrial designer, Christian is a great Italian photojournalist. I met them both in Milan - Italy - respectively in late 2001 and early 2002. Three years ago, they decided to leave Europe and move to Brazil. Despite of the distance that separates us, there are still two of my greatest friends ever. This travel to Latin America was the perfect pretext to visit them. We asked Janaina and Christian to drop in this blog some words about our meeting, and for our great pleasure they accepted. Here they are!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Gloria e Pierre sono venuti a trovarci in Brasile.

Nuestro entusiasmo y nuestra alegría de volver a encontrar nuestros caros amigos y familiares está compartida por parte de los mismos, y esto nos alegra mucho, de verdad! Pero en el mismo tiempo, hemos sido muy sorprendidos (y no decepcionados) de que muchos nos preguntaron &lt;em&gt;"Ya volvéis? Tan temprano?"&lt;/em&gt; y casi nadie exclamó &lt;em&gt;"Por fin!"&lt;/em&gt;. A nosotros al revés nos parece que haya pasado mucho tiempo desde el trece de octubre, día de nuestra partida. Pero una explicación de esta diferencia en la percepción del tiempo, creo que ya la tengo...&lt;br /&gt;Durante el viaje hemos tenido una vida muy intensa: casi cada día hemos descubierto lugares y paisajes nuevos, casi cada noche hemos dormido en sitios diferentes. Pero sobretodo, recordamos claramente cada etapa del viaje, cada habitación donde nos paramos, cada edificio que visitamos, cada familia que nos hospedó, y incluido, muchas de nuestras comidas. La cantidad de recuerdos acumulados durante el viaje nos hace realizar cuanto hemos rellenado el tiempo y por esto el tiempo nos ha parecido tan largo.&lt;br /&gt;Por otro lado, en las vidas diarias que todos tenemos, los días se parecen. Cuando por fin llega el viernes, uno ya no recuerda lo que comió el martes ni las tareas que hizo en su trabajo el miércoles. El carácter cíclico de nuestra vida hace que un lunes parece a otro lunes y que no tenemos la sensación de hacer muchas cosas a pesar de que las semanas se suceden sin fin. Por esto nos parece que el tiempo vuela tan rápido: porque tenemos pocas oportunidades de rellenarlo con elementos nuevos y diferentes.&lt;br /&gt;Cuanto tiempo nos queda antes de regresar a esta "normalidad"? De repente me parece muy poco!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Leer el articulo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/7th-of-april.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of April&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-1710781647490228095?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/1710781647490228095/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=1710781647490228095&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1710781647490228095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1710781647490228095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/la-relatividad-del-tiempo.html' title='La relatividad del tiempo'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-1757328540905361924</id><published>2009-03-14T17:09:00.014-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T20:24:35.753-06:00</updated><title type='text'>7th of April</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SbyLDt_UkvI/AAAAAAAADxY/gIUnEA-XYrE/s1600-h/DSC_3093.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313274556391396082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SbyLDt_UkvI/AAAAAAAADxY/gIUnEA-XYrE/s400/DSC_3093.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;It's time to go back home (photo Christian Franz Tragni)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313270382539783250" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 50px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; HEIGHT: 25px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SbyHQxLjPFI/AAAAAAAADw4/c8483eUY9fI/s200/uk-flag.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;We have just entered to Brazil, the last country of our Odyssey to Latin America.

Pierre volverá a colaborar a distancia con la empresa italiana &lt;a href="http://www.teradp.com/"&gt;Tera Digital Publishing&lt;/a&gt;, mientras Gloria tendrá que encontrar un nuevo trabajo de paisajista. Si alguien sabe de una oportunidad... También necesitaremos encontrar en cuanto antes un nuevo pisito para organizar nuestra fiesta de vuelta, así que si sabéis de algo que se libera, gracias por avisarnos! Ah... Y por supuesto contamos con todos el domingo 24 de mayo para correr la XXXI Cursa de El Corte Ingles!

Entrés vendredi 6 mars par le Pérou à l'ouest, nous en sommes sortis le jeudi 12 par le poste frontière de Quijarro aux portes du Brésil à l'ouest. C'est frustrant de ne pas avoir pu dédier à ce pays le temps qu'il mériterait, mais nos jours sont maintenant comptés et nous ne pouvons plus nous permettre comme au début du voyage de nous attarder où bon nous semble. Cependant, bien que la plus grande partie de notre temps nous l'avons passée sur les transports terrestre (minibus, autocars et trains), nous sommes parvenus à nous faire une image très positive de la Bolivie. La route à travers les montagnes entre Copacabana et La Paz est à couper le souffle, alors que Sucre, une des plus anciennes villes espagnoles sur le continent sud américain, est riche d'une histoire que nous avons pu apprendre en mode accéléré en visitant ses musées. D'un point de vue politique, il semble que le pouvoir capable de corrompre les plus purs n'ait pas encore affecté Evo Morales et sa pieuse politique sociale. En parlant de droite à gauche (sans jeu de mots partisans), j'ai même cru comprendre que le président actuel jouit d'une popularité record parmi la population.&lt;br /&gt;Quelques belles rencontres également, et particulièrement chez Miguel et Carlos qui nous ont accueillis dans leur grande maison d'un quartier chic de La Paz. Chez eux nous avons rencontré Greg, le jeune guitariste de &lt;em&gt;Upside&lt;/em&gt;, un groupe nord américain parait-il célèbre. Il a commencé son voyage en Amérique Latine il y a cinq mois comme nous, avec sa copine américano-polonaise. Mais cette dernière a "perdu" à tour de rôle son portefeuille, son sac à dos, et même celui de Greg avec dedans tous les textes de chansons, les poèmes et notes qu'il avait écrits depuis le début du voyage. Ruinée, elle a dû se rendre au Brésil où quelques amis lui pouvait arranger un travail lui permettant de gagner l'argent nécessaire pour retourner aux États-Unis. On s'est dit que Greg devait être très amoureux pour la considérer encore comme sa copine.&lt;br /&gt;Très peu de photos cette semaine, pas de quoi publier quelque chose de présentable...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-4206049068196855622?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/4206049068196855622/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=4206049068196855622&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4206049068196855622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4206049068196855622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/six-jours-en-bolivie.html' title='Six jours en Bolivie'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-6714719952656025154</id><published>2009-03-07T07:09:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T07:10:56.056-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Non andremo in Cile...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Lili, la mia amica argentina di Milano, aveva promesso di non rivolgermi la parola mai più se durante il nostro viaggio fossimo andati a visitare il Cile e non l'Argentina.

The totora, an aquatic plant that looks like a long and thin green stick and gets yellow when it dries, is not only used for handicraft making, but also for the construction of small boats and, above all, the famous floating islands of the Titicaca lake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Seeing the pictures of theses floating islands and imagining the life of the people who made them, the Uros, made me very impatient to reach Titicaca. Actually, the reality is much less poetic than what books and people use to tell, and the islands are much more a touristic attraction than an idyllic life place. Indeed, most of the "local" people you can meet here arrives in the early morning to sell their products during day time, and go back in the evening to their houses on the land. We have been said that less than hundred people really live on the islands. Not only! Due to the tourism development, the number of theses islands increased from 14 in the year 1986 to 40 nowadays... It is incredible what massive tourism can do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;We have also spent a couple of days in the Amantani and Taquile "normal" (I mean not floating) islands. Be they in the sea, on a lake or even in the middle of a river, islands have been fascinating men and women from the creation of the world. Amantani and Taquile are not an exception to this rule and attract many visitors everyday and during the whole year. But saying, as our guide book says, that they are &lt;em&gt;"the most paradise-like places on earth"&lt;/em&gt;, it is a little bit exaggerated. Unless the author of theses words has a very different vision of the paradise than mine, of course. Anyway, I remember having seen greater islands in my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Yesterday, we crossed the Bolivian border at Copacabana, on the other side of Titicaca lake, and entered in the country also known as "the Tibet of the Andes".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Our last pictures of Peru are available at the following two new photo albums:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/LagoTiticacaPierre"&gt;Lago Titicaca (by Pierre)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/LagoTiticacaGloria"&gt;Lago Titicaca (by Gloria)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-1068265704659902261?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/1068265704659902261/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=1068265704659902261&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1068265704659902261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1068265704659902261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/farewell-peru.html' title='Farewell Peru!'/><author><name>Gloria i Pierre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00329206495066142427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SP_wbBSK8TI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ujw8w_z29jQ/S220/nomesanada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SbJwcXUqcHI/AAAAAAAADq0/Yo1MbjNkFMI/s72-c/DSC_3015.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-5173248424966871034</id><published>2009-03-01T17:56:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-01T18:19:49.919-06:00</updated><title type='text'>El peregrinaje a Machu Picchu</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/Sasiq-TCRjI/AAAAAAAADi4/dFLakVND1fg/s1600-h/DSC_2859.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308374707458950706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/Sasiq-TCRjI/AAAAAAAADi4/dFLakVND1fg/s400/DSC_2859.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Durante el camino de regreso a Cuzco.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Si hay algo de que un viajero no puede morir en Perú, es de hambre: en casi todo el país,siempre hemos encontrado menús abundantes por menos de dos dolares. Tampoco el alojamiento y el transporte so caros. Pero a pesar de esto, Perú es el país donde gastamos más dinero hasta ahora. Los gastos que hicieron subir el presupuesto más de lo previsto fueron las varias actividades, que sean turísticas, culturales o deportivas. Aquí todo se paga, y todo se paga caro, como la entrada al Machu Picchu que costa 40 dolares sin incluir ni los servicios de guia ni el transporte para llegar a este lugar remoto. La manera más fácil y más común para llegar es el tren, pero el boleto de ida y vuelta desde Cuzco añade como mínimo unos 70 dolares al coste de esta excursión.&lt;br /&gt;Nosotros tuvimos la suerte de encontrar a las personas adecuadas que nos pasaron los consejos adecuados para viajar a Machu Picchu de manera alternativa y económica. Desde Cuzco, organizamos un minibus que nos llevó por siete horas desagradables en carreteras sin asfaltar hasta una central hidroeléctrica desde la cual completamos el recogido, caminando los últimos once kilómetros a lo largo de la vía del tren.&lt;br /&gt;Después de este largo día de viaje, solo logramos llegar a Machu Picchu Pueblo. El día siguiente teníamos dos alternativas para llegar a la zona arqueológica: tomar un autobús pagando otros 8 dolares, o caminar mas o menos una hora y cuarto subiendo por empinadas escaleras. Por supuesto, nosotros jóvenes y deportivos (mas por motivos económicos que por convicción), decidimos caminar. Queríamos llegar antes de las seis de la mañana, hora de acceso al publico, porque solo a los primeros cuatro cientos les permiten subir a Huayna Picchu, la montana sagrada que domina la ciudadela inca. Así que nos pusimos en marcha a las cuatro de la madrugada.&lt;br /&gt;Sabiendo que teníamos que caminar mucho durante tres días, dejamos nuestras mochilas en Cuzco y llevamos lo mínimo con nosotros. O mejor, aun menos que lo mínimo, ya que nos olvidamos la linterna, herramienta muy útil para caminar en una noche sin luna ni estrellas! Al comienzo pensamos que la municipalidad podría poner iluminación artificial en ese camino muy concurrido, pero de repente nos recordamos &lt;a href="http://ngenespanol.com/2008/11/01/un-mundo-sin-noche-los-danos-ecologicos-de-la-luz-artificial"&gt;un articulo recién de la National Geographic que denunciaba &lt;em&gt;"un mundo sin noche"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, y entonces pensamos al final que era mejor así... Mala suerte para los tontos que somos! Sin embargo y con la amable ayuda de los excursionista que tenían linterna, conseguimos igualmente llegar arriba con tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;Al final, estos tres días han sido muy agotadores, pero como en todos los peregrinajes, tuvimos nuestra recompensa emocional!&lt;br /&gt;Las fotos que hicimos al Machu Picchu son disponibles en estos dos álbum:&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/MachuPicchuGloria"&gt;Machu Picchu (Gloria)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/MachuPicchuPierre"&gt;Machu Picchu (Pierre)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri y Gloria&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-5173248424966871034?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/5173248424966871034/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=5173248424966871034&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/5173248424966871034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/5173248424966871034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/el-peregrinaje-machu-picchu.html' title='El peregrinaje a Machu Picchu'/><author><name>Gloria i Pierre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00329206495066142427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SP_wbBSK8TI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ujw8w_z29jQ/S220/nomesanada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/Sasiq-TCRjI/AAAAAAAADi4/dFLakVND1fg/s72-c/DSC_2859.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-7978798361716960581</id><published>2009-03-01T13:46:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-01T13:57:13.377-06:00</updated><title type='text'>What a Wonderful World</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Du haut de ces pyramides, dix milles ans d'histoire vous regardent!"&lt;/em&gt; (1), once said Napoleon Bonaparte to his soldiers, as the great army was reaching the pyramids of Egypt. Theses pyramids are all what remain of the seven wonders of the world, the six others having disappeared already for ages (2). In 2007, seven "new" wonders of the world have been nominated (3), a project criticised (and I share theses critics) for two main reasons. The first one regards the choice itself of the wonders, which is the result of a popular election organised through Internet and to which anybody, in theory, could participate. Everybody in the world not having an easy access to Internet, the jury of the nomination was not as universal as it was supposed to be. The second critic is that the nomination of the seven new wonders has not been an initiative of an organisation of cultural interest like the UNESCO or so, but it has been organised by a private foundation called New7Wonders, created by John Zogby, president of the private company Zogby International. Private company also means private interests, and whatever are theses interests we can be pretty sure that the aim is not the preservation of the cultural heritage.&lt;br /&gt;Ok, this was quiet a long introduction just to say that one of the seven new wonders of the world is supposed to be Machu Picchu, and that we have just visited it! If I wrote &lt;em&gt;"is supposed to be"&lt;/em&gt; rather than simply &lt;em&gt;"is"&lt;/em&gt;, it is because even our guide to Machu Picchu said that there are others Inca places that are of a greater interest, but ignored and unknown just because they are very isolated and so, it is difficult to make business on them. What's more, I wonder who has the pretentiousness to know the world well enough to say what are the seven greatest constructions ever built? Certainly not me!&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, be it a top seven wonder or not, Machu Picchu is wonderful, really! Like two years ago when Gloria and me visited the Taj Mahal in India (another of the new wonders of the world), we heard so much about it that we had the feeling to know it even before travelling to Peru. We have been waiting our meeting with Machu Picchu for so long time that we were afraid to be disappointed. And then, what could I write about Machu Picchu if everybody already knows it? Would I be able to take a picture of it that has not been already taken a million time? All I can say is that even if we were prepared to see what we have seen, we have been fascinated the same!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) : &lt;em&gt;"From the top of theses pyramids, ten thousands years of history are watching you!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) : Here is the list of the other six wonders of the world, with the cause of there destruction in parenthesis: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (earthquake) ; the Statue of Zeus at Olympia (unknown, presumed destroyed by fire or earthquake) ; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (arson, plundering) ; the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus (damaged by an earthquake and eventually disassembled by European Crusaders) ; the Colossus of Rhodes (earthquake) ; the Lighthouse of Alexandria (earthquake).&lt;br /&gt;(3) : The seven "new" wonders of the world are Chichen Itza (Mexico), Christ the Redeemer (Brazil), the Colosseum (Italy), the Great Wall of China (China), Machu Picchu (Peru), Petra (Jordan), and the Taj Mahal (India).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-7978798361716960581?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/7978798361716960581/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=7978798361716960581&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/7978798361716960581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/7978798361716960581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-wonderful-world.html' title='What a Wonderful World'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-1699108640397913485</id><published>2009-02-25T17:28:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-01T18:09:59.533-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Le voyage par procuration</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Tout le monde ne peut pas voyager, et ce n'est pas toujours faute d'envie sinon à cause d'obligations diverses...&lt;br /&gt;Ça peut être par obligations professionnelles: certains ont des responsabilités, ils font tourner le monde et n'ont pas le temps de tourner autour. Sans pour autant exercer exercer de responsabilité dans son métier, on peut être liés pieds et mains par celui-ci pour des obligations familiales: un foyer à faire vivre, ça coûte! Parfois, ce sont des obligations affectives qui empêchent de voyager, tout le monde n'ayant pas la chance d'avoir une famille et des amis compréhensifs et qui ne vous font pas sentir coupables de partir aussi loin et aussi longtemps, mais au contraire vous encouragent dans votre entreprise. Au passage, je remercie mes amis et ma famille pour cette chance que j'ai.

À tous les autres, ceux qui voudraient tellement partir mais qui ne peuvent pas pour une raison ou pour une autre, qu'ils sachent que je suis heureux de pouvoir partager ce voyage avec eux, heureux de leur faire vivre à travers nos récits et nos photos le voyage par procuration.&lt;br /&gt;Nos photos de cette semaine sont disponibles dans les deux nouveaux albums suivant:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/DeLimaACuzcoPierre"&gt;De Lima à Cuzco (by Pierre)&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/DeLimaACuscoGloria"&gt;De Lima à Cuzco (by Gloria)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-1699108640397913485?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/1699108640397913485/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=1699108640397913485&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1699108640397913485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1699108640397913485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/le-voyage-par-procuration.html' title='Le voyage par procuration'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-6729772906253960923</id><published>2009-02-24T18:14:00.013-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-24T18:54:20.467-06:00</updated><title type='text'>L'esperienza ecologica a EcoTruly Park</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Se un giorno le api dovessero scomparire, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;all'uomo resterebbero soltanto quattro anni di vita: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;senza api non esiste impollinazione, ne fiori, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;ne erba, ne animali, ne uomini.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Albert Eistein&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;È evidente che io non sono tanto rapida quanto Pierre nel riportare i miei racconti di viaggio; pero in questi giorni ho rielaborato i miei pensieri e i miei appunti sul nostro soggiorno a Ecotruly.&lt;br /&gt;Dal punto di vista spirituale l'incontro con la comunità Hare Krisna è stato piacevole con le classi di yoga, le meditazioni e i canti mantra, ma in generale nessuna di queste attività ci ha illuminato.&lt;br /&gt;Anche i continui tentativi dei devoti di convertirci al vegetarianismo assoluto non ci hanno convinto, anche se hanno aumentato la nostra consapevolezza che diminuire il consumo di carne fa bene al nostro corpo e ancora di più all'ambiente.&lt;br /&gt;Invece quello che più ci ha colpito e che ha dato un senso a questi giorni, è stato l'incontro con Don Julio. Si tratta di un ingegnere agronomo ex professore all'università di Lima che molti anni fa lasciò l'insegnamento perché contrariato con le ricerche e le tecniche di sfruttamento agricolo che prevedono l'uso di prodotti chimici. Considerato un pazzo decise di ritirarsi e di lavorare come taxista per guadagnarsi da vivere; fino a quando un giorno venne contattato da una società tedesca, che conoscendo bene chi era e quello che pensava, gli propose di gestire qui in Perù un'azienda agricola ecologica. Queste persone mettevano in pratica le teorie di un filosofo e scienziato tedesco Rudolf Steiner che intorno agli anni 20 del secolo passato elaborò la teoria dell'agricoltura biodinamica.&lt;br /&gt;Si tratta in poche parole di coltivare rispettando l'ambiente, utilizzando solo componenti già presenti nella natura e studiando le fasi della luna, del sole e delle costellazioni. Insomma come facevano gli antichi!&lt;br /&gt;Da qui ricomincia l'entusiasmo di Don Julio per il suo lavoro e accetta il nuovo incarico. Attualmente è il responsabile di varie aziende agricole con coltivazione biologica, come per esempio l'Eco Truly.&lt;br /&gt;Io e Pierre lo abbiamo aspettato per vari giorni e quando finalmente lo abbiamo incontrato non ha disilluso le nostre aspettative. Ci ha fatto una classe intensiva su come coltivare l'orto, e il frutteto secondo le regole della bioagricoltura, sul compost, la lombricultura e sui principi attivi di erbe medicinali e aromatiche. Per finire siamo passati dalla teoria alla pratica facendo innesti di vario tipo e propagazioni di alberi per margotta (tecnica di clonazione degli alberi).&lt;br /&gt;Tutte queste informazioni sono per me e per il mio lavoro come il nettare per gli dei, e anche per questo viaggiare non è una perdita di tempo a livello professionale.&lt;br /&gt;E poi per molti, come mio padre, che ci chiederanno "che vi interessa sapere come coltivare un orto se non ne avete uno?", rispondiamo che per il momento non ce l'abbiamo! :-)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/EcoTrulyParkGloria"&gt;Foto Eco Truly Park (Gloria)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-6729772906253960923?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/6729772906253960923/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=6729772906253960923&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6729772906253960923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6729772906253960923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/se-un-giorno-le-api-dovessero.html' title='L&apos;esperienza ecologica a EcoTruly Park'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-7972616713717506070</id><published>2009-02-19T19:57:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-19T20:00:22.184-06:00</updated><title type='text'>El norte de Perú</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SZ4Onqae_-I/AAAAAAAAACk/_bV4mqLU9us/s1600-h/DSC_2462.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304693485652082658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SZ4Onqae_-I/AAAAAAAAACk/_bV4mqLU9us/s400/DSC_2462.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-7972616713717506070?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/7972616713717506070/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=7972616713717506070&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/7972616713717506070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/7972616713717506070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/el-norte-de-peru.html' title='El norte de Perú'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SZ4Onqae_-I/AAAAAAAAACk/_bV4mqLU9us/s72-c/DSC_2462.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-4154462978245324068</id><published>2009-02-19T19:54:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-19T19:56:12.859-06:00</updated><title type='text'>La reincarnazione, un paradosso?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Questo testo è il frutto della mia esperienza spirituale vissuta al &lt;a href="http://www.ecotrulypark.org/"&gt;Eco Truly Park&lt;/a&gt;, un ashram indù dedicato a Krishna.&lt;br /&gt;Ammettiamolo: la mente umana è degenerata.

Mientras estábamos viajando en el norte de Perú, recibimos un correo de Druva, uno de los 28 devotos que vive en la comunidad, en el cual nos invitaba a visitarlos. Curiosos de ver como este "eco village" consigue vivir en armonía con la naturaleza y con un impacto mínimo con el medio ambiente, aceptamos la invitación.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Sin saberlo, hemos elegido el mejor momento para esta visita. El guru que aquí viene solo un par de días cada tres o cuatro meses llego justamente el mismo día que nosotros. En esta ocasión, entre 300 y 400 personas se presentaron para acudir a las numerosas charlas, sesión de meditación, ritos de iniciación de los nuevos devotos y también a una boda hindú celebrado por el mismo guru. Conciertos de rock, de reggae y de música india constituyeron la columna sonora de este "festival". Cualquiera el tipo de música, las letras de las canciones siempre eran las mismas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Hare Krishna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Hare Krishna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Krishna Krishna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Hare Hare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Hare Rama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Hare Rama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Rama Rama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Hare Hare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;No sé como es posible, pero a pesar de que este mantra solo contiene tres palabras distintas, está lleno de significado. Su traducción en español sería algo como: &lt;em&gt;"Krishna por favor, haz de mi cuerpo un instrumento de tu amor!"&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Una paréntesis para quien no sabe mucho de religiones orientales: en la religión hindú, Krishna es considerado como una reencarnación de Vishnu, una de las tres deidades principales. Pero para la Academia Vaisdava a la cual pertenece Eco Truly, Krishna es mucho mas que la reencarnación de un dios, es el dios absoluto en persona. Bueno, todo esto solo para decir que durante estos dos días muy espirituales, Gloria y yo nos sentimos como dos hippie de viaje con los Beatles a Rishikesh para encontrar el Maharashi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Antes de llegar, pensábamos permanecer en la comunidad solo el sábado y el domingo. Pero deseosos de aprender mas sobre las increíbles construcciones de adobe, las aero-bombas para pompear el agua, el bio huerto y la revolución de la cuchara (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.larevoluciondelacuchara.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;www.larevoluciondelacuchara.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;), decidimos quedarnos mas tiempo y participar al programa de voluntariado. Resultó una experiencia muy positiva, sobre todo para Gloria que tuvo la oportunidad de practicar mucho con el agrónomo del sitio. Pero al mismo tiempo, fuimos un poco decepcionados al realizar que el Eco Truly atrae a gente de fuera mas por su dinero que por la verdadera voluntad de compartir su consciencia ecológica. Así que al final, como los Beatles en Rishikesh y para las mismas razones que ellos, decidimos interrumpir nuestro programa de voluntariado y marcharnos un día antes de lo previsto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Las fotos que hice durante los días pasados en Eco Truly son disponibles en este nuevo álbum: &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/EcoTrulyParkPierre"&gt;Eco Truly (by Pierre)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Para saber mas sobre Eco Truly, también se puede visitar la web siguiente:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ecotrulypark.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;www.ecotrulypark.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-6202642301235151036?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/6202642301235151036/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=6202642301235151036&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6202642301235151036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6202642301235151036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/hare-krishna.html' title='¡Hare Krishna!'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-845974535145277522</id><published>2009-02-15T13:51:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-18T14:12:09.060-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Le souffle nouveau</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SZhzDhnnViI/AAAAAAAAC3E/wsX0alxy5og/s1600-h/con+ulyses.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303115065630086690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SZhzDhnnViI/AAAAAAAAC3E/wsX0alxy5og/s400/con+ulyses.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Avec Ulyses, à Lima (photo Alex Julian Smith)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;La plupart des expatriés l'admettent: lorsque l'on réside depuis un certain temps à l'étranger, on finit toujours par traverser tôt ou tard une période de rejet. Aussi enrichissante que puisse être l'expérience que l'on est en train de vivre, on ne voit au cours de cette période que le coté négatif des choses, on devient plus critique, rien de tout ce qui ne fonctionne pas ne nous échappe. Ça dure un moment puis ça passe, et tout redevient comme avant.&lt;br /&gt;En ce qui concerne les voyages de longue durée, c'est pareil, et Gloria et moi avons connu à notre arrivée au Pérou deux semaines pénibles au bout desquelles nous avons perdu l'enthousiasme qui nous animait depuis le début. Après notre séjour dans la forêt amazonienne, nous étions fatigués aussi bien physiquement que mentalement, et nous nous sentions peu récompensés de tous les efforts que nous avions dû fournir. Lassés à l'idée de faire le long chemin en sens inverse, nous nous sommes résignés à quitter Iquitos en avion afin d'économiser une semaine éprouvante de voyage sur les fleuves et routes du Pérou. Nous avions besoin d'un souffle nouveau.&lt;br /&gt;Cependant et en dépit de tout, je pense que même ces moments là en valent la peine, ils sont le signe que l'on a franchi un cap. Chaque fois que nous devons indiquer nos professions sur une fiche d'hôtel, je trouve de moins en moins naturel d'indiquer les mots "ingénieur" et "architecte". Son caractère de longue durée fait que le voyage devient plus que notre quotidien, c'est notre occupation, notre condition. Bien sûr, on n'oublie pas ce que l'on faisait avant, mais on est conscient que c'était avant. C'est aussi ça la différence entre le voyage et les vacances (1).&lt;br /&gt;Requinqués par la rencontre à Lima de Ulyses (voir photo), un garçon très positif et plein d'énergie, nous sommes repartis vers le nord chercher le second souffle dont nous avions besoin pour surmonter notre phase de rejet et retrouver l'envie de voyager. Gloria voulait voir la mer, et j'en ai profité pour m'essayer au surf (il parait d'ailleurs que j'ai un réel potentiel pour ça). Nous sommes restés sur la côte le temps de visiter la jolie ville coloniale de Trujillo ainsi que les impressionnants vestiges de Chan-Chan, une ville millénaire construite entièrement en adobe! De là, un bus de nuit nous a portés quelques milliers de mètres plus haut, dans cette partie des andes que l'on appelle la &lt;em&gt;"Cordillera Blanca"&lt;/em&gt; (2). Après avoir souffert de la chaleur, nous étions contents de retrouver la fraîche atmosphère des montagnes. J'ai trouvé beaucoup de similitudes entre cette région et l'Himachal Pradesh en Inde. Certes il manquait les moines bouddhistes et les drapeaux de prière, mais les paysages montagneux, les lacs, les petites villes et la simplicité de leurs habitants, les richshaws qu'ici on appelle &lt;em&gt;"moto-taxi"&lt;/em&gt;, etc..., tout le reste ressemble tellement! Les plaisirs culinaires ont également été de la partie et nous avons enfin goûté au fameux &lt;em&gt;cuy&lt;/em&gt;, un genre de hamster un peu plus gros qui faisait déjà partie de la diète des incas il y a plusieurs siècles de cela.&lt;br /&gt;Avant de rejoindre Lima et de partir explorer le sud du Pérou, nous nous sommes arrêtés à Eco-Truly, un village écologique voué au culte de Krishna. Arrivés hier, nous pensions repartir dès ce soir avant de décider finalement de séjourner ici plus longtemps. Mais ça, c'est déjà une autre histoire... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Les photos de notre mini tour au nord de Lima sont disponibles dans les deux nouveaux albums photos suivants:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/LeSouffleNouveauPierre"&gt;Le souffle nouveau (by Pierre)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/NorteDePeruGloria"&gt;Norte de Peru (by Gloria)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) : Lire l'article en espagnol&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/10/aqu-estamos-solo-faltan-unos-das-antes.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;El viaje no es vacaciones!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) : Cordillère Blanche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-845974535145277522?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/845974535145277522/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=845974535145277522&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/845974535145277522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/845974535145277522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/le-souffle-nouveau.html' title='Le souffle nouveau'/><author><name>Gloria i Pierre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00329206495066142427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SP_wbBSK8TI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ujw8w_z29jQ/S220/nomesanada.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SZhzDhnnViI/AAAAAAAAC3E/wsX0alxy5og/s72-c/con+ulyses.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-2144692850970659090</id><published>2009-02-08T18:21:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-08T18:25:56.562-06:00</updated><title type='text'>A good idea!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SY939JoBLtI/AAAAAAAAANc/ntdR5k3HBA8/s1600-h/pierre.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300587178877857490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SY939JoBLtI/AAAAAAAAANc/ntdR5k3HBA8/s320/pierre.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Travelling is fantastic! It makes you discover new landscapes, new cultures and new people. But not only! It also allows you seeing how people ingeniously resolve their problem, and why not getting inspiration from them. Rather than working out a problem by inventing something that already exists, it's often faster and easier to look for the solution adopted by people who encountered the same problem before.&lt;br /&gt;In the bathroom of Ulysses, met in Lima, I found an ingenuous solution to not one but two of the pending problems I left behind me in Barcelona. The first problem is that (almost) every time you invite a male friend at home, you need to clean the toilet bowl after he has gone. The second one is an environmental issue: every time you flush after urinating, you waste litters of drinkable water... An aberration when we know how important is the water!&lt;br /&gt;Ulysses resolved the first problem by installing an urinal in his bathroom. Urinals exist for ages, and they are so useful that I can't understand why we usually found them only in public toilets and never in individual houses. In order to resolve the second problem, Ulysses simply connected the sink and the urinal with a pipe, so that the water used to wash hands is re-used to automatically clean the urinal. And I can testimony that it works perfectly! The urinal is always clean and their is no bad smelling.&lt;br /&gt;In a general way, Ulysses has a real sensibility for environmental issues, and he also experiments &lt;em&gt;DIY&lt;/em&gt; (for &lt;em&gt;"Do It Yourself"&lt;/em&gt;) systems allowing to re-use the water of the shower, to optimise the toilet bowl flushing system, etc... And he does it quiet efficiently: he told us that few days before our arrival, people of the water company visited him as the low quantity of water he consumes made them think that he was robbing it!&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, I also want to comment here that Ulysses is not a rich man, but he's clever enough to save money thanks to his imagination. The modern designed sink you can see on the picture actually is a salad bowl, and it cost less than one dollar!&lt;br /&gt;In the end, I hope that Ulysses ideas will inspire me when I back to Europe, as well as I hope that this article will inspire some of the people who will have read it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-2144692850970659090?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/2144692850970659090/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=2144692850970659090&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/2144692850970659090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/2144692850970659090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/good-idea.html' title='A good idea!'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SY939JoBLtI/AAAAAAAAANc/ntdR5k3HBA8/s72-c/pierre.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-830168088971678524</id><published>2009-02-04T18:40:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-04T18:54:02.144-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Our first pictures from Peru!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;We haven't published pictures for a long time and we are sorry for it...

Ma alla fine ci siamo riusciti.&lt;br /&gt;Quattro giorni sono stati sufficienti per soddisfare la nostra curiosità di conoscere al meno un pezzetto del "polmone" verde della terra e sopratutto per decidere che probabilmente non ci ritorneremo più. In questo momento siamo nell'epoca delle piogge, il che ci ha permesso di navigare con maggiore rapidità il Rio delle Amazzoni, però ha anche reso l'ambiente più ostile per la presenza &lt;strong&gt;massiccia&lt;/strong&gt; delle zanzare: non ne ho mai visti tanti in vita mia! Per questo le camminate nella selva (soprattuto quelle di notte) sono state più terrificanti che affascinanti. E nonostante i nostri tentativi di proteggerci con vestiti e repellenti vari ci ritroviamo ora il corpo pieno di bolle pruriginose.&lt;br /&gt;Anche le condizioni climatiche non ci hanno aiutato: nei momenti di sole faceva talmente tanto caldo da non poter fare nulla e desideravamo un po' di pioggia. Pero quando finalmente pioveva, aumentava la densità di zanzare nell'aria. Cosi che non sapevamo quale fosse il male minore.&lt;br /&gt;Spero con questo articolo di avere soddisfatto la richiesta dei miei amici romani Cristiano e Sara che ci chiedevano di raccontare non solo esperienze positive. In generale non voglio dissuadervi di fare un viaggio nella selva, semplicemente consiglio di andare in un epoca differente o, come dice Pierre, di organizzarsi con una tuta da allevatori di api.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-7043131370681669949?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/7043131370681669949/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=7043131370681669949&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/7043131370681669949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/7043131370681669949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/quattro-giorni-nella-selva.html' title='Quattro giorni nella selva'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-2743907529548156354</id><published>2009-02-03T17:44:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-03T18:14:12.320-06:00</updated><title type='text'>En los pulmones de la tierra</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;El martes 2 de febrero del 2009, Gloria se fue a pescar los piranhas mientras yo me quedé en posición horizontal toda la mañana. Diarreas y vomito (quizás sería más poético llamarlo "enfermedad tropical") me hicieron renunciar a perseguir el celebre predador.&lt;br /&gt;Era nuestro tercero día en la selva, los pulmones de la tierra, paraíso perdido o infierno verde según los autores. La verdad es que son los dos a la vez. Aquí existe un infinidad variedad de fauna y de flora, que va más allá de la imaginación humana. El ruido que nunca para es el testigo continuo, la noche aún más que el día, de la rica actividad animal. La vegetación es tan densa que recorrer un kilómetro de terreno plano puede requerir horas de camino. La vegetación es tan densa que poca luz llega hasta el suelo. Por esta razón un árbol aquí puede medir unos pocos centímetros durante décadas hasta que su vecino "se muere", dejando pasar la luz y permitiéndole entonces de crecer con gran rapidez.&lt;br /&gt;Estar aquí, dentro de la selva, y pensar que es así hasta miles de kilómetros nos hace sentir pequeños, vulnerables. ¡Y lo somos! Porque a pesar de su apariencia de paraíso, la selva es un ambiente muy hostil para el hombre. El calor, la humedad, las lluvias tropicales, los mosquitos y otros animales no tan simpáticos son tantas razones por las cuales olvidé el sueño fantasioso de construir una cabaña y venir a vivir aquí.&lt;br /&gt;En el mismo tiempo, me alegro de tantas dificultades, porque no puedo dejar de pensar que es este carácter hostil que permite a la selva de protegerse del hombre, manteniendolo en sus afueras. Siempre es la misma irritación constatar que donde estamos nosotros (los seres humanos), la vida va desapareciendo, mientras donde no llegamos, prolifera... ¿Cuando empezaremos finalmente a hacer algo al respecto?&lt;br /&gt;Regresamos esta noche (martes) a Iquitos, con la consciencia de haber visto un espectáculo frágil y precioso, y con buenos recuerdos a pesar de la adversidad...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-2743907529548156354?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/2743907529548156354/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=2743907529548156354&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/2743907529548156354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/2743907529548156354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/en-los-pulmones-de-la-tierra.html' title='En los pulmones de la tierra'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-2598192738162062892</id><published>2009-02-03T17:13:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-03T17:16:56.322-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Yurimaguas - Iquitos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SYjQUcuq9LI/AAAAAAAAACc/7etI281EBnA/s1600-h/Aquarelle1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298714011329295538" style="DISPLAY: block;

&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dimanche 25 janvier&lt;br /&gt;20:10&lt;/strong&gt; Six jours de voyage éprouvants et pas forcément intéressants nous ont portés de Catacocha dans le sud-ouest de l'Équateur à Yurimaguas dans le nord-est du Pérou, à l'orée de la forêt amazonienne. Nous avons embarqué dès ce soir sur un bateau qui ne partira que demain, afin d'y accrocher nos hamacs et réserver ainsi notre place à bord. Nous naviguerons le long de la rivière Huallaga qui devient plus en aval le célèbre fleuve Amazone, jusqu'à Iquitos que nous devrions atteindre dans la journée de mercredi.&lt;br /&gt;L'embarcation d'une capacité de 250 personnes possède trois niveaux. Le premier abrite les machines , j'y ai également aperçu une énorme cargaison de riz et de pommes de terre ainsi que des cages renfermant des poulets. Au premier étage trois rangées de hamacs plutôt serrés les uns contre les autres donnent à l'atmosphère une ambiance populaire. C'est là que les places sont le plus économiques et c'est là aussi que nous nous sommes installés. Le deuxième étage ressemble au premier, sauf que la densité y est moitié moindre, le service de restauration parait-il plus rapide et la vue sur le paysage alentour meilleure. Le prix à payer pour y avoir accès est cependant le double.&lt;br /&gt;Hormis deux autres passagers barbus, je crois que nous sommes les seuls étrangers à bord. L'isolement d'Iquitos dans la forêt amazonienne (il s'agit de la plus grande ville au monde non accessible par voie terrestre) fait que la plupart décident de s'y rendre en avion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lundi 26 janvier&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;07:26&lt;/strong&gt; Bien que nous ayons acheté les hamacs les plus économiques (et inconfortables) du marché, nous avons passé une nuit plutôt bonne. Une seule piqûre de moustique en ce qui me concerne, aucune pour Gloria, et nous ne nous sommes rien fait voler. Nous avons bien fait d'embarquer dès hier, le bateau s'est rempli et il semble que nous soyons déjà au complet. Nous attendons le départ dont nous ne connaissons pas encore l'heure. Nous avons entendu dire huit heures, dix heures, midi, seize heures et dix-huit heures trente, mais tous ceux à qui nous avons demandé nous ont dit quelque chose de différent, et tous ont pourtant l'air d'être sûrs d'eux-mêmes. Peu importe, nous ne sommes pas pressés...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21:36&lt;/strong&gt; Aux premières lueurs du jour, nous pensions que le bateau était déjà plein. Nous ne nous imaginions pas qu'il allait continuer à se remplir toujours davantage jusqu'au moment même du départ, peu après midi finalement. Il y a des hamacs partout, dans tous les sens, les uns contre les autres. &lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/yurimaguas-iquitos.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Qui n'en a pas dort à même le sol, entre les valises et sous les hamacs de ceux qui en ont un.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nous n'avons pas compris pourquoi le membre de l'équipage chargé d'enregistrer &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;tous&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; les passagers nous a ignorés malgré notre insistance, mais j'ai fort à penser que c'est parce que nous avions déjà dépassé la capacité maximum (celle officielle) du bateau. Une chose est sûre, ces trois jours de voyage resteront une expérience unique, encore plus singulière que les trajets aussi longs que j'ai eu l'opportunité de faire dans les trains en Inde.&lt;br /&gt;Parmi les derniers passagers montés à bord, il y avait un groupe de quatre cinq français dans nos âges ou un peu plus jeunes. Nous avons sympathisé et jouer aux cartes ensembles. J'ai ensuite fait une partie d'échecs avec Gloria et plusieurs autres avec un jeune péruvien débutant à qui j'ai donné un véritable cours. Bien qu'il avait des difficultés évidentes, j'ai été surpris par son assiduité et celle de l'assistance. Interrompus par le dîner, il est venu ensuite me chercher pour reprendre le jeu, et lorsque nous nous sommes séparés de nouveau, il m'a serré la main et m'a dit: &lt;em&gt;"Demain on recommence!"&lt;/em&gt;. Gloria Quant à elle s'améliore à chaque fois. Elle ne m'a encore jamais battu mais dernièrement elle a failli le faire à deux reprises.&lt;br /&gt;J'avais peur que la journée soit longue sur ce bateau exigu, mais finalement je n'ai même pas pris beaucoup le temps de regarder le paysage. L'extinction des feux devraient se faire d'un moment à l'autre, demain le petit-dejeuenr devrait être servi vers 6h30.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mardi 27 janvier&lt;br /&gt;13:37&lt;/strong&gt; Je faisais encore la sieste il y a quelques minutes. En me réveillant, je me suis souvenu d'une sortie en mer avec mon père et mon grand-frère, c'était lorsque nous habitions encore au Sénégal, je n'avais pas huit ans. Le soir dans mon lit, je me souviens très bien que tout tanguait encore. Si je me suis rappelé de cette anecdote aujourd'hui, c'est parce que quand je ferme les yeux, je continue de voir des hamacs partout qui se balancent. C'est une sensation plutôt paisible, à l'image de cette journée. Je ne peux pas en dire autant de notre deuxième nuit sur le bateau, plutôt agitée. Vers minuit nous avons fait escale à Laguna où de nouveaux passagers ont pris la place de ceux qui descendaient. Parmi les partants figuraient les français que nous avions rencontrés hier. Au milieu de ce va et vient, un type qui voulait décrocher le hamac d'une fille qui rangeait ses affaires s'est trompé de corde et commençait à dénouer une extrémité du hamac de Gloria qui dormait. J'ai poussé un cri, le gars s'est arrêté à temps, et Gloria après avoir ouvert les yeux une demi seconde s'est rendormie en sursaut sans se rendre compte qu'il en aurait fallu de peu pour qu'elle se brise la tête par terre.&lt;br /&gt;Vers quatre heures du matin, les cuisiniers ont commencé bruyamment leur journée de travail et de nombreux passagers se sont réveillés à cette occasion, dont mon voisin qui dès lors m'a empêché de dormir en multipliant les aller-retours entre son hamac et la salle de bain.&lt;br /&gt;J'en arrive à la salle de bain! Elle ressemble à celle des vestiaires de n'importe quel gymnase, sauf que l'eau qui y coule est opaque et de couleur marron: rien d'étonnant vue qu'elle est pompée directement de la rivière... J'avoue que c'est un peu répugnant et que nous avions envisagé de ne pas nous laver pendant trois jours, mais la chaleur et la sueur nous ont fait changer d'avis pas plus tard que ce matin. C'est également avec la même eau que nous faisons notre vaisselle après chaque repas. Mais c'est ça ou manger dans de la vaisselle sale, alors on n'essaye de ne pas y penser à l'heure du repas, en espérant ne pas tomber malade!&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui il fait beau et on profite du paysage. Il y a une belle lumière, j'ai pris quelques photos pour illustrer ce journal de bord pendant que Gloria aquarellait sur le même thème. La journée coule doucement, comme notre bateau. L'incertitude quant à notre heure d'arrivée demain à Iquitos est la même que celle que nous avions quant à notre heure de départ de Yurimaguas. Il y a qui dit huit heures du matin, il y a qui dit huit heures du soir, et entre les deux beaucoup d'autres suggestions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mercredi 28 janvier&lt;br /&gt;08:25&lt;/strong&gt; Ce matin vers cinq heures, nous avons fait à Nauta notre dernière escale avant Iquitos. Près de la moitié des passagers sont descendus pour finir le trajet en bus, vu que depuis ce village il est possible de joindre Iquitos en deux heures de route contre six heures supplémentaires en bateau. Nous sommes restés à bord, c'est plus simple, plus économique, et puis nous avions déjà payé notre billet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;La matinée passe tranquillement, dernier repas à bord (ouf), dernières parties d'échecs, dernières conversations avec nos compagnons de voyage. Beaucoup d'enfants curieux nous ont approchés durant le trajet. Je discutais à l'instant avec l'un d'entre eux lorsqu'il a jeté une bouteille de plastique à l'eau sous mes yeux. Je lui ai expliqué pourquoi il ne devait pas le faire, mais il n'a l'air qu'à moitié convaincu. Quand je lui ai dit que ça allait tuer les poissons, il s'est presque réjoui à l'idée qu'un crocodile puisse manger sa bouteille... Que faire?&lt;br /&gt;Derniers mots de ce journal de bord également. D'habitude, mon seul carnet de voyage c'est le blog, mais il fallait bien s'occuper un peu pendant ces trois jours. Dans quelques heures nous serons à Iquitos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-4596514126475957378?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/4596514126475957378/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=4596514126475957378&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4596514126475957378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4596514126475957378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/journal-de-bord.html' title='Journal de bord'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SYJ7hOwnmFI/AAAAAAAAANM/ZHvmfnFRk2k/s72-c/yurimaguas-iquitos.jpg.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-8190011358215245211</id><published>2009-01-21T16:47:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-21T16:55:56.541-06:00</updated><title type='text'>¡Esta es mi Tierra!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SXenQ-UsR1I/AAAAAAAAACU/1c7Wk3c_R94/s1600-h/DSC_0837.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293883797046839122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SXenQ-UsR1I/AAAAAAAAACU/1c7Wk3c_R94/s400/DSC_0837.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Patricio y yo antes del espectáculo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En un solo día, pasamos desde la sierra ecuatoriana hasta la costa peruana. Ya me parece que haya pasado mucho tiempo desde nuestra estancia en Cuenca, pero todavía son fuertes los recuerdos de mi experiencia de baile.&lt;br /&gt;Como ya lo explicó Pierre, estuvimos huéspedes en casa de Patricio (leer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/during-our-stay-in-cuenca-we-were.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;At Patricio's Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;) que además de ser viajeros, es también un gran bailarín de danza folclórica y autóctona ecuatoriana. Esta danza está relacionada con eventos importantes para los campesinos como la cosecha del mais y de las patatas. Patricio aprendió esta danza viviendo varios meses en una comunidad indígena de campesinos. Nos explicó que al comienzo estuvo difícil para el ser aceptado, ya que los indígenas no querían compartir sus tradiciones con la gente que no pertenece a su mismo grupo. Pero con el tiempo logró vencer la desconfianza e integrarse por el hecho de tener las mismas raíces. Ahora tiene un grupo en Cuenca en que participan varios amigos suyos. Los mejores danzantes ensayan solo una vez en la semana mientras los que todavía tienen que aprender las coreografías se juntan todos los días en casa de Patricio para ensayar.&lt;br /&gt;Desde el primer día pedí a Patricio si podía estar con ellos para aprender los pasos y el aceptó feliz de compartir su cultura y sus tradiciones con extranjeros. Mi entusiasmo y mi facilidad en aprender los pasos hicieron que Patricio nos propuso de quedarnos hasta el sábado, día en que daban una representación por la calle. Así que convencí a Pierre de quedar más días de lo que habíamos previsto para permitirme participar con ellos.&lt;br /&gt;Para algunos miembros del grupo, la danza también representa una actividad familiar, como el caso de Camilo y sus cuatro hijos (desde los 20 años hasta la pequeña Anais de 3 años).&lt;br /&gt;Esta experiencia de baile no ha sido la única en casa de Patricio. Allí conocimos también a Viviana, una cineasta argentina con que pasé una mañana aprendiendo la &lt;em&gt;Saya Caporales&lt;/em&gt;, una danza tradicional de Bolivia traida allí por los esclavos africanos. Viviana me explicó en particular que esta danza bastante sensual venía utilizada por las esclavas para seducir sus amos, permitiendo en el mientras a los otros esclavos de escapar.&lt;br /&gt;Al final, de tanto bailar, siento la gana de seguir haciéndolo a la vuelta en Europa.

Comme chacun ne le sait peut-être pas, la terre n'est pas parfaitement sphérique: elle est aplatie au niveau des pôles et légèrement bombée à l'emplacement même de ce pays, ce qui fait du volcan Chimborazo, son point culminant, l'endroit sur terre le plus proche du soleil. C'est également là que, il y a quelques siècle de cela, le français La Condamine et son équipe déterminèrent la position exacte de l'équateur, d'où le nom de ce pays. En fait, les calculs n'étaient pas si exactes que cela et ils se sont trompés d'une centaine de mètres, mais à l'époque ils n'avaient pas de système GPS alors on leur pardonne. Enfin, c'est quand même ennuyeux, depuis le temps on aurait pu déplacer le monument appelé &lt;em&gt;"La Mitad del Mundo"&lt;/em&gt; (La Moitié du Monde) au bon endroit...&lt;br /&gt;Comme nous l'écrivions dans notre récent article en espagnol &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/en-la-ruta-de-los-andes.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;En la Rutas de los Andes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;, si nous avons vu de magnifiques paysages durant la première partie de notre séjour en Équateur, nous n'avons en revanche appris durant cette période peu de chose d'un point de vue culturel et avons fréquentés peu d'Équatoriens. Fort heureusement, nous nous sommes rattrapés par la suite, à l'occasion notamment de notre séjour prolongé dans la ville de Cuenca. Outre ses spacieux musées et nombreux édifices coloniaux, nous y avons rencontré Patricio (lire &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/during-our-stay-in-cuenca-we-were.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;At Patricio's Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;) qui nous a fait connaître beaucoup de ses amis équatoriens et découvrir beaucoup de chose sur la culture de son pays, en particulier sur les danses folkloriques de la région. Nous avons également visité, en avant goût de notre voyage au Pérou, ce qui reste de Ingapirca, l'unique ville inca relativement bien préservée en Équateur. Pour finir, nous avons partagés nos deux dernières jours entre Saraguro et Catacocha, deux très petites villes bien différentes, mais toutes deux très pittoresques, agréables, peu touristiques, et aux habitants souriants.&lt;br /&gt;Demain nous traverserons la frontière péruvienne à Macará.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Voici nos dernières photos d'Équateur:&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/Ecuador2Pierre"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Ecuador 2 (by Pierre)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/Ecuador2Gloria"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Ecuador 2 (by Gloria)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293189013308928434" style="DISPLAY: block;

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/en-la-ruta-de-los-andes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;En la Ruta de los Andes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;But the day of our arrival in the colonial city, they let us know that some tragic event occurred in their family and that they could not receive us in the appropriated conditions. Of course, we understood perfectly the situation and felt very sorry for them.&lt;br /&gt;We then called Patricio, another couchsurfer of Cuenca who warmly opened us the door of the house he shares with his brother and many travellers. We never met so many couchsurfers in the same place at the same time: when we arrived, six other travellers were already staying there: they were from Colombia (two of them), Germany, Switzerland, Bolivia and Argentina. All together with some of Patricio's good friends, there were always many people around the table at dinner time, and every day someone cooked for the whole community. We took our turn of course, and one day Gloria cooked italian pasta while I prepared my best ever "tarte tatin", a french apple pie.&lt;br /&gt;If Patricio likes so much sharing his time and culture with travellers, it is probably because he was himself born traveller. The first time he left alone Ecuador, he was only 15 years old: he said to his mother something like: &lt;em&gt;"Mum, I'm going alone to Venezuela"&lt;/em&gt;. Of course, as a good mother, she cried. But as a good mother, she also accepted her son's decision and she signed the authorisation he needed to leave alone the country, as he wasn't yet, at least legally, an adult.&lt;br /&gt;The story repeated quite a lot of years after, but with Patricio playing the opposite role: his grandmother was already 102 years old when she came to Patricio to tell him she was about to travel alone to the United States. Patricio worried a lot and insisted to accompany her, but she strongly refused with the authority of the grandmother she was. When she returned some weeks later, she told Patricio: &lt;em&gt;"Listen to me: it was the last trip of my life. Now I want to stay here and rest..."&lt;/em&gt;. As Patricio seemed frightened by hearing theses words, she added: &lt;em&gt;"And I'm not going to die!"&lt;/em&gt;. It was a couple of years ago, Patricio's grandmother is now 104 years old and still leaves alone in her house in the countryside.&lt;br /&gt;It seems that Patricio and his grandmother are not he only travellers of a very huge family (Patricio has twenty brothers and sisters, fifteen of which from the same mother). During our stay at Patricio's house, we didn't meet Mario, the brother who lives with him, since he travels eleven months a year (mainly to China) for his shoes importing business.&lt;br /&gt;Among the people we met at Patricio's home, I'd like to dedicate a special mention to Griselda, a 30 years old photojournalist from Argentina. Together with her country mate Vivi, 32 years old, they left Argentina height months ago and will keep travelling over Latin America for another year and half. Their amazing project, &lt;em&gt;Cine a la Intemperie&lt;/em&gt;, consists in reaching rural areas of the whole extended continent and organise movie sessions in each of the places visited, as they themselves say in spanish: &lt;em&gt;"por una exhibición alternativa de nuestra cultura"&lt;/em&gt; (1).

Unas horas antes de viajar de Ciudad de Mexico a Quito, todavía no sabíamos si íbamos a visitarlo o no, y por esta razón nuestra ruta aquí está bastante improvisada. Decidimos olvidar las famosas Islas Galapagos y la selva oriental por el presupuesto prohibitivo de estas dos regiones. También hicimos abstracción de las playas costera, ya que no nos atrae mucho el turismo balneario y que tendremos otras oportunidades de bañarnos en el océano pacifico. Por eliminación y con el objetivo de llegar rápidamente a Perú, nuestra ruta en Ecuador consiste entonces en seguir las Cordilleras de los Andes hacia el sur.&lt;br /&gt;Y esta ruta es sensacional! Cruzamos paisajes de montaña magníficos, sea en autobús, en tren o a pie: aquí tenemos muchas bellas oportunidades de hacer senderismo. Los volcanes, algunos particularmente activos, son numerosos, como lo son las aguas termales que los rodean. En la pequeña ciudad de Baños, entrar en el agua a 58ºC (así lo vendían, aunque no creo que alcanzaba tal temperatura) ha sido un gran placer y me curó el mal de garganta y la fiebre que me agredieron el día antes.&lt;br /&gt;La naturaleza de este país nos encanta, absolutamente. Pero al nivel cultural, hemos aprendido muy pocas cosas que no hemos leído en la guia, y eso si que es una decepción. En las zonas rurales, parece evidente que cada población tiene tradiciones muy antiguas y muy características a la vez. Sin embargo, aunque la gente local siempre está muy amable, no es tan fácil comunicarnos con ellos y a menudo la conversación se limita a un cordial &lt;em&gt;"Buenas tardes"&lt;/em&gt;... De las ciudades que hemos visitado, Otavalo y Baños son muy turísticas, lo que no permite establecer con la gente una relación en la cual no desempeñamos el papel de turistas. En Quito, estuvimos hospedados por una familia colombiana formada por una pareja (Dora y Alfonso) y sus dos hijos (Caterina y Christian). Con ellos, aprendimos que la comunidad colombiana cuenta con uno de los once millones de personas que viven en Ecuador, y que está comunidad es bastante unida. Celebramos de la mejor manera el fin de año con ellos, y conocimos a muchos de sus amigos, casi todos colombianos, así que al final aprendimos más de Colombia que de Ecuador!!!&lt;br /&gt;Mañana llegaremos a Cuenca, en la parte sur del país, donde deberíamos quedarnos con Pablo y Marcela, una pajera ecuatoriana. Con el objetivo, finalmente, de conocer a ecuatorianos!&lt;br /&gt;to be continued...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333300;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-6584098859657385149?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/6584098859657385149/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=6584098859657385149&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6584098859657385149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6584098859657385149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/en-la-ruta-de-los-andes.html' title='En la Ruta de los Andes'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SWqDy19h3KI/AAAAAAAAAMs/Ovnt1vbD8V8/s72-c/DSC_0713.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-1124744632371123841</id><published>2009-01-11T17:17:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T17:34:23.323-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Un Grand Merci!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#333300;"&gt;Nombreux sont ceux qui nous ont écrit ces derniers jours pour nous adresser, en plus de leurs meilleurs voeux, leurs encouragements pour la suite de notre voyage. A tous ceux-là, à tous ceux qui nous remercient de les faire voyager depuis leur bureau, à tous ceux qui nous confient que le désir de voyager leur vient en nous lisant, et à tous ceux qui tout simplement suivent sans rien dire notre périple sur ce blog, nous leur envoyons à notre tour un grand merci!&lt;br /&gt;Découvrir le monde est une passion, et le racconter l'est encore plus pour moi (serais-je un journaliste manqué?). Alors bien sûr, celà me fait vraiment plaisir de savoir que nos récits et nos photos sont appréciés par un si grand nombre. Sans ses lecteurs, ce blog n'aurait de raison d'être, voilà pourquoi ce grand merci.&lt;br /&gt;Nous recevons les nouvelles de ceux qui sont en partance: il y a qui part à Cuba, qui va faire du volontariat au Guatemala, qui se prépare pour la Bolivie, qui répette toujours le même voyage en Inde, qui traverse l'atlantique à la voile à 60 ans révolus, et j'en passe et des meilleurs... Les hommes sont bourrés de préjugés, et je me rends compte des miens aussi parfois. Les préjugés sont autant de signes d'ignorance. Voyager nous permet de combattre nos préjugés, et je crois que le monde y gagnerait si l'on y voyageait plus.

Il nostro viaggio da Città da Messico a Quito includeva 12 ore di transito nell'aeroporto di Lima. Chi sa un minimo di geografia sudamericana non ci metterà tanto a fare il conto dei chilometri fatti in più (e dei litri di cherosene bruciati inutilmente). L'orario notturno della nostra tappa non ci ha permesso di uscire dall'aeroporto per raggiungere la città. Per occupare il tempo, dopo avere più volte cercato di dormire (male) sulle sedie dell'aeroporto, dopo avere girato più volte sempre gli stessi tipici negozi &lt;i&gt;"dutee free"&lt;/i&gt;, Gloria mi ha fatto il ritratto con l'aquarella, e io l'ho ripresa mentre dipingeva. Per accontentare chi ci chiedeva più immagini di noi e meno delle piramidi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SWp4WMxx9yI/AAAAAAAAAMc/QO57Gchq6C8/s1600-h/DSC_0254.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290173035082544930" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SWp4WMxx9yI/AAAAAAAAAMc/QO57Gchq6C8/s320/DSC_0254.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-8654383149158380313?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/8654383149158380313/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=8654383149158380313&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8654383149158380313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8654383149158380313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2009/01/beato-chi-capisce-il-buon-senso-delle.html' title='Transitando in Lima'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SWp4xT-VVhI/AAAAAAAAAMk/kw7VydiIcyM/s72-c/DSC_0347.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-7180485355957903673</id><published>2009-01-02T16:21:00.011-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T17:31:46.150-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello, Goodbye!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Goodbye Mexico, ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday 29&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of December, we finally said goodbye to Mexico after having travelled for 78 days in that great country!

Hello Ecuador!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;It has been difficult to decide what to do after visiting Ciudad De Mexico, alias Mexico D.F.. My idea was to cross Central America to reach Panama City by land, and from there to fly to Quito in Ecuador. On the other hand, Gloria preferred flying directly to Quito, since she was not sure to have enough time, monney and will to add Central America to our trip. We fighted for it, and in the end she won. After some unexpected difficulties with our credit cards, travel agencies and other web sites selling tickets, we finally found a couple of seats in a plane. We arrived at Quito on Tuesday 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of December, where we celebrated in the best way the end of the very rich year 2008, and entered in the even richer (so we hope) 2009!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Arrivés ensembles à San-Blas sur la côte ouest du Mexique, Gloria a en effet mis le cap au nord vers le célèbre Barranca del Cobre alors que pour ma part, j'ai fait route vers le sud, longeant la côte du pacifique jusqu'à Manzanillo.&lt;br /&gt;Les trois premiers jours de cette échappée belle n'ont pas été des plus intéressants en ce qui me concerne... Déjà que je ne raffole pas d'une après-midi de plage avec les copains, figurez-vous tout seul! Lorsqu'en plus j'ai mis mon appareil photo hors-service dès le deuxième jour (lire &lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-pictures-i-will-never-show-you.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The best pictures I will never show you&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), je me suis alors senti particulièrement ennuyé.&lt;br /&gt;De Manzanillo, je me suis dirigé vers Guadalajara regagnant ainsi les terres intérieures, et fait halte en chemin dans les deux toutes petites villes de Comala et Tapalpa. La route empreintée entre Manzanillo et Guadalajara traverse une zone volcanique active, et les paysages y sont véritablement magnifiques. De Tapalpa, mon guide disait seulement qu'il s'agissait d'une agréable petite ville de 16000 habitants. Quel euphémisme! C'est peut-être l'endroit qui m'a plu le plus depuis le début de notre voyage! Toutes les constructions sont faites dans un style traditionnel avec des colonnes et des balcons en bois, ses deux églises ont un charme fou, ses rues sont joliment pavées, et ses hommes âgés coiffés d'un chapeau de cow-boy et se déplaçant, pour certains, à cheval semblent sortir du passé. Un endroit des plus pittoresque!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Le monde appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt"&lt;/em&gt;, dit-on chez nous. C'est ce que j'ai fait lorsque je me suis réveillé un matin à Tapalpa pour me lancer sur le chemin de cinq kilomètres qui mène à un site appelé &lt;em&gt;Las Piedrotas&lt;/em&gt;. Déjà beau en soit, je suis arrivé sur les lieux &lt;em&gt;"à l'heure où blanchit la campagne"&lt;/em&gt;, c'est-à-dire à son moment le plus photogénique. Les rayons d'un soleil encore bas, tamisés par la brume matinale, produisaient une lumière douce sans ombres alors que l'herbe jaunie des prés était coiffée d'une belle gelée argentée. Toute (ou presque) les couleurs perceptibles par l'oeil humain étaient présentes dans ce paysage. Vous imaginez la frustration engendrée par l'absence de mon inséparable Nikon... Sur le chemin du retour, le soleil était monté d'un cran et déjà la magie éphémère du spectacle auquel j'avais assisté avait disparu. Cela ne m'a pas empêché de rêver lorsque j'ai vu sur le bord de la route un panneau annonçant la vente d'un hectare de terrain boisé.&lt;br /&gt;Mon passage à Tapalpa a aussi été l'occasion de visiter le CITAC (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.citac.org.mx/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;www.citac.org.mx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;), un centre d'éducation pour enfants nécessitant une attention spéciale (comprenez enfants handicapés physiques et/ou mentaux). Au cours de ce voyage, nous en avons rencontrés des personnes stimulées par de beaux et généreux projets tels que celui-ci. Là, une vingtaine d'enseignants et volontaires prennent en charge près de 400 enfants âgés de 4 à ... 67 ans! La thérapie pratiquée au centre se base en partie sur le développement d'activités artistiques, ainsi les élèves y étudient la musique ou expriment leur créativité dans la construction d'objets en papier mâché. Les enfants représentent également une passerelle pour atteindre leurs familles (souvent difficiles), leurs mères étant souvent impliquées dans les différents programmes réalisés. Quant aux murs de l'école, tous construits en briques d'adobe, ils sont autant de supports pour l'affichage de messages positifs tels cette citation de Saint Francois d'Assise: &lt;em&gt;"Comienza haciendo lo que es necesario, despues lo que es possible, y de repente estarás haciendo lo impossible"&lt;/em&gt; (1).&lt;br /&gt;Étant donné que la semaine précédente j'y avais déjà passé plusieurs jours avec Gloria, je ne me suis pas attardé cette fois ci à Guadalajara... A peine le temps de faire réparer mon appareil photo et d'assister au tournage d'un spot publicitaire, réalisé dans un studio situé juste en dessous de l'appartement où j'ai été hébergé (cf photo). Le lendemain matin, avant même que mon hôte ne se réveille, j'étais déjà dans l'autobus pour Guanajuato. Et quelle ville! Tout excité d'avoir enfin récupéré mon appareil &lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;photo, je m'en suis donné à coeur joie durant trois jours (cf &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/GuanajuatoPierre"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;album photo "Guanajuato - Pierre"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;San Miguel de Allende, dans la même lignée que Guanajuato mais en plus petit et plus cosmopolite, ainsi que Querétaro où je suis actuellement ont été mes étapes suivantes. Xilitla, le site archéologique &lt;em&gt;El Tajìn&lt;/em&gt;, et Xalapa dans l'état de Veracruz devraient être quant à elles les prochaines.

A mitad de ese viaje, Gloria se juntó a mi para acompañarme durante quince días maravillosos. Fue lo que llamé entonces &lt;em&gt;"el viaje en el viaje"&lt;/em&gt;. En ocasión de nuestro viaje en México, decidimos hacer el revés: cerca dos meses después de nuestra salida, nuestras rutas se han separado para un viaje en el viaje de otro tipo, y volverán pronto a reunirse de nuevo.&lt;br /&gt;El viaje en pareja es bello porque permite vivir juntos emociones muy fuertes y intercambiar ideas y opiniones sobre todo lo que descubrimos. Gloria es una muy buena compañera de viaje en este sentido, y no solo. Como dice mi primo francés Laurent, soy como Ulyse con la diferencia que viajo con mi Penelope! Pero de la misma manera que estar separados por un largo tiempo resulta difícil, seguramente compartir cada momento de la vida durante varios meses tampoco no es sano. Encontré en estos días una pareja de austriacos que para aguantar han decidido pararse un cierto tiempo y buscar cada uno algún trabajo. Es una solución. Apartarse durante un periodo es otra: permite estar con nosotros mismos, y nos da tiempo de interrogarnos sobre nuestra relación con el mundo en el que vivimos y sobre las otras cuestiones existenciales que nos hacemos desde siempre. Es una forma de meditación, y hacerlo viajando ayuda en desconectar aun mas.&lt;br /&gt;Aunque pensábamos hacerlo desde mucho tiempo, también vacilamos mucho tiempo por todo lo que hemos escuchado sobre la seguridad en México. Pero la verdad es que hasta ahora, nunca tuvimos una sensación de inseguridad. En Francia, ya conocí el miedo en algunos trenos y barrios periféricos; en Barcelona, tuve mas de una vez la oportunidad de hacer horas de cola para denunciar robos; y, en reacción al &lt;a href="http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/barranca-del-cobre.html"&gt;texto de Gloria sobre el Barranca del Cobre&lt;/a&gt;, en Italia también el narcotrafico acabó recientemente en una matanza de jóvenes (africanos). Así que al final, México no nos parece tan mal comparado al viejo continente. Al comienzo, Gloria tenía miedo de que su familia se preocuparan al saberla sola, pero al final parece que sus amigas se preocupan mas que su padre. ¿Que le vamos a hacer?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-4472338949986530245?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/4472338949986530245/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=4472338949986530245&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4472338949986530245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4472338949986530245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/el-viaje-en-el-viaje.html' title='El viaje en el viaje'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-3326185178677872426</id><published>2008-12-12T14:06:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-15T12:28:41.221-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Barranca del Cobre</title><content type='html'>&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279006625177967138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SULMjmSqmiI/AAAAAAAAACE/j7cKiPc-9cQ/s400/DSCN9694.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Da poco è iniziata quella che Pierre chiama la 'seconda fase' del nostro viaggio. Semplicemente consiste nel dividerci per qualche giorno per seguire due itinerari differenti. Da Tepic, sulla costa occedentale, Pierre è andato verso sud per poi raggiungere lo stato di Hidalgo (ad est del Messico) dove spero farà delle belle foto per il suo progetto fotografico. Io invece ho continuato verso nord, con l'idea di raggiungere il Barranca del Cobre. Nonostante gli avvertimenti di molti sulle basse temperature, soprattutto per il mio scarso equipaggiamento, credo sia valsa la pena arrivare fino lì. Si tratta di una zona che comprende più di 20 Canion che insieme rappresentano una estensione 4 volte più grande del Grand Canion in Arizona e che incluso in alcune parti è più profondo. Io mi sono fermata solo due giorni in Creel, ma varrebbe la pena passarne almeno 4 o 5 per poter vedere tutte le bellezze del posto: iniziando dalle strane formazioni rocciose, dalle 'Rane', ai 'Monaci', fino alla pietra della fertilità (con forma fallica) e passando per le acque termali, le cascate (tra cui la più alta del Messico di quasi 400 mt) e infine camminare e arrampicarsi per i canion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Qui vive la popolazione indigena de &lt;em&gt;los Tarahumara&lt;/em&gt; o &lt;em&gt;Raramuri&lt;/em&gt;, che nella loro lingua significa 'coloro che corrono rapido'. Realmente queste persone non hanno altre opzioni, data la topografia e l'estensione del territorio, sono costretti a percorrere ogni giorno lunghe distanze in meno tempo possibile, calzando solo dei sandali di cuoio da loro prodotti. Ho letto che hanno sviluppato una grande resistenza, nella camminata rapida, tanto che attualmente gareggiano per oltre 160 Km senza fermarsi, e sempre portandosi dietro a calci una palla di legno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;La città dove ho dormito, Creel, è un punto di incontro di tanti viaggiatori, tra cui gli argentini Sebastian e Carolina, e i francesi Du e Ju (Douglas et Juliette), con cui abbiamo organizzato la discesa al Barranca del cobre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Durante il tragitto d'andata la guida ci ha spiegato la situazione attuale della criminalità nelle montagne. Tempo fa all'interno dei canion los Tarahumaras coltivavano mais e fagioli, mentre negli ultimi anni subirono l'espropriazione delle proprie terre da parte della mafia locale per coltivare oppio e mariuana. Di fatto sono zone remote e poco controllate, quindi perfette per questo tipo di produzione. La conseguenza diretta è la guerra continua tra le bande mafiose dei vari villaggi della zona, tra cui la famosa matanza di 13 giovani a Creel un sabato pomeriggio d'agosto di quest'anno. La guida ci raccontò gli avvenimenti fin nei minimi dettagli e con un certo coinvolgimento emotivo dovuto al fatto che tra i giovani (molti innocenti) c'erano un suo nipote e cugino. Attualmente la popolazione di Creel è spaventata ma arrabbiata allo stesso tempo con la giustizia locale che è complice del sistema, tanto che la polizia venne avvisata in anticipo dai killer e per questo tre ore prima della matanza lasciarono il villaggio per non interferire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Sembra la storia di un film, ma è realtà.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Gloria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-3326185178677872426?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/3326185178677872426/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=3326185178677872426&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/3326185178677872426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/3326185178677872426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/barranca-del-cobre.html' title='Barranca del Cobre'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SULMjmSqmiI/AAAAAAAAACE/j7cKiPc-9cQ/s72-c/DSCN9694.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-1136643588921700185</id><published>2008-12-10T19:01:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T19:40:23.175-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The best pictures I will never show you...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;While I was travelling to India a couple of years ago, Gloria once sent me the following poem of Nazim Hikmet:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The most beautiful sea: hasn't been crossed yet.&lt;br /&gt;The most beautiful child: hasn't grown up yet.&lt;br /&gt;Our most beautiful days: we haven't seen yet.&lt;br /&gt;And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you: I haven't said yet...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Applied to photography, one mine version of theses verses I like is: &lt;em&gt;"The best pictures I will show you are the pictures I haven't taken yet"&lt;/em&gt;. This is a very optimist vision since it means that the best is still to come, but unfortunately, I cannot myself be that confident concerning such a prediction. I remember an interview of the former French soccer player Eric Cantona, it was a long time ago. He said that scoring a goal was always something very special for him, because he always was thinking that it could be the last goal of his career. In my case, the same occurs with pictures: when I just have realised a nice shot, I do not know if and when I will be able to do it again. After all, creativity does not evolve in the same way for everybody. Some artists keep improving until they die at a very old age, while some other artists spend most of their life trying in vain to repeat the success that made their glory in past times. As far as we are concerned, we never know what will happen in the future.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, what I am pretty sure about is that among the best pictures I could have done, there are all the pictures I have missed because I was not there at the right time, because I failed the exposure, because I have not been fast enough, or - and it is the most frustrating case - because I did not have the camera with me. And then, a more pessimist and likely version of the poem could be: &lt;em&gt;"The best pictures I will never show you are the pictures I did not take"&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;If I tell you this story today, it is because I am currently a photographer without camera. I recently made a mistake only beginners are supposed to do: I tried to clean the sensor of my camera without the appropriate tools, and it is now out of service. I have decided to go back to Guadalajara, hoping to find there a decent laboratory where my camera can be adjusted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, here are the very few pictures I can show you this week:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/EstadoDeJalispoYCostaDelPacifico"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/EstadoDeJalispoYCostaDelPacifico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-1136643588921700185?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/1136643588921700185/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=1136643588921700185&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1136643588921700185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1136643588921700185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-pictures-i-will-never-show-you.html' title='The best pictures I will never show you...'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-1004468875008356156</id><published>2008-12-07T18:18:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-07T18:36:05.614-06:00</updated><title type='text'>"Il Ticket, per favore!"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/STxr5AlMjOI/AAAAAAAAALU/rEfHzOoE2Rs/s1600-h/SSC_9487.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277211490524105954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/STxr5AlMjOI/AAAAAAAAALU/rEfHzOoE2Rs/s320/SSC_9487.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"L'aquisto è gratuito se non ricevi il tuo ticket"&lt;/em&gt; dice un cartellone di una panetteria di Tepic. Messaggi simili che incitano i cittadini a fare prova di vigilanza si possono leggere in tanti negozi a traverso tutto il Messico. Idem nei musei dove un grande poster, sempre lo stesso, invita i visitatori a conservare o distruggere il biglietto di entrata. Non so se centra qualcosa, pero di fatto, qui il ticket non si "dimenticano" mani di darcelo.&lt;br /&gt;In Italia, non sarebbe una mala idea di osservare quello che passa a l'estero e adottare alcune buone pratiche come questa. Senza che si la prendano i miei pochi amici che tengono un negozio nel Bel Paese, vorrei approfittare di questa aneddoto (e della popolarità di questo blog :)) per insistere sull'importanza di un gesto tan semplice. Per cominciare, conviene tenere a mente che l'IVA non è una tassa sul redditto del commerciante, pero una tassa sul consumo, cioè la paga il consumatore, il commerciante essendo solo il veicolo di questa tassa. Con altre parole, ogni volta che non chiedete il ticket, il commerciante non solo si mette i soldi dello stato in tasca, vi ruba anche a voi.&lt;br /&gt;A quelli che non si sono ancora piegati al fatalismo del già tropo sentito &lt;em&gt;"Ormai noi siamo fatti cose"&lt;/em&gt;, ed a quelli che credono ancora che le cose si possono cambiare, non dimenticate quindi di pronunciare queste parole al momento di pagare, sempre: &lt;em&gt;"Il ticket per favore!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-1004468875008356156?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/1004468875008356156/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=1004468875008356156&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1004468875008356156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1004468875008356156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/il-ticket-per-favore.html' title='&quot;Il Ticket, per favore!&quot;'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/STxr5AlMjOI/AAAAAAAAALU/rEfHzOoE2Rs/s72-c/SSC_9487.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-5572923451008185060</id><published>2008-12-07T18:14:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T18:43:51.896-06:00</updated><title type='text'>D'une côte à l'autre</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SUBh0rWg6gI/AAAAAAAAALc/JUQy0nmMsF8/s1600-h/DSC_9463.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278326320896469506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SUBh0rWg6gI/AAAAAAAAALc/JUQy0nmMsF8/s320/DSC_9463.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Partis le 13 octobre de Cancun à l'extrémité est du pays, nous nous sommes baignés dans l'océan pacifique le 4 décembre à San Blas, près de Tepic.

ciudad de Guadalajara después de haber pasado dos días intensos en el bosque. Estuvimos huéspedes de Bryan y Mary, una pareja de americanos que hace unos años decidieron huir de la ciudad para construir su propio 'paraíso' en la naturaleza; 33 hectáreas para perderse de puro bosque de pinos, encinas y madroños.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Las reglas para vivir aquí son bastante rígidas, pero quizás necesarias para mantener intacto el medio ambiente. Consiguen ser auto suficientes en el consumo de agua recogiendo y almacenando la lluvia en cisternas y en el consumo de energía eléctrica que producen solo con paneles solares. Por esto intentan reducir al mínimo el consumo de los dos. No ha sido mal vivir dos días solo con la luz de las velas; un poco meno agradable ha sido no ducharse... pero al final me gustó la filosofía de buscar en esta experiencia nuestra esencia animal-natural.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Vivir el bosque ha sido una experiencia nueva y llenas de emociones; sobretodo caminar entre los arboles, en la belleza de la noche tan negra como la tinta china solo con el ayuda de una linterna (regalo muy apreciado de Fra y Montse) y mirar el cielo que sin contaminación lumínica aparecía lleno de palpitantes estrellas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;El rancho tiene muchos senderos (todos mapeados por Bryan con sistema GPS) y unas cuantas casitas de madera con baños ecológicos al lado. En el &lt;em&gt;Village&lt;/em&gt; viven también unos voluntarios que trabajan en la trasformación del lugar y en la construcción de las casitas (utilizando principalmente madera y adobe) y que en su tiempo libre se dedican cada uno a su propio proyecto artístico o ecológico (yo y Pierre participamos un poco a todo esto).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Entre los miembros de la comunidad, no hay que olvidar los diez perros y dos gatos que animan el espacio. Cada uno con su carácter, mas o menos inteligente, mas o menos venturoso, pero todos muy buenos y cariñosos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Gloria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-4575995998297765335?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/4575995998297765335/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=4575995998297765335&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4575995998297765335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4575995998297765335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/12/vida-de-bosque.html' title='Vida de Bosque'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/STWk48tLB2I/AAAAAAAAAB0/I_7kko2Lw3k/s72-c/DSC_9330.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-850751435630468933</id><published>2008-12-02T09:15:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T16:00:05.328-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Buscamos pasaje de Panama a Ecuador</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Estamos estudiando la posibilidad de viajar por carretera en América Central hasta Panamá, y de allí viajar a Ecuador sin pasar por &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Colombia&lt;/span&gt;.

Ses premières massues m'avait-il raconté, c'est son père qui lui les avait construites quand il était encore gamin: elles étaient en bois, d'un bois un peu rustique un peu brut, dont on fait n'importe quoi, sauf naturellement les massues... Et naturellement donc, elles faisaient mal au doigts quand on les utilisait...&lt;br /&gt;Internet n'existait pas encore à l'époque, sinon le père de Renaud aurait utiliser la &lt;em&gt;recette&lt;/em&gt; à la page suivante: &lt;a href="http://www.juggler.org/diy/clubs.shtml"&gt;http://www.juggler.org/diy/clubs.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;. En suivant les instructions (en anglais), on parvient à fabriquer à partir de matériaux recyclés de belles massues légères, agréables à utiliser, très semblables à celles que l'on trouve sur le marché (à un prix exorbitant), et surtout le tout sans dépenser le moindre peso. Cette recette, c'est Dominik, un polonais rencontré au &lt;em&gt;"Bosque Village"&lt;/em&gt; qui me l'a soufflée. Je l'ai assisté durant la réalisation qui a duré quelques heures (pour trois massues), et vraiment le résultat est surprenant!&lt;br /&gt;Mais je m'égare... Cette anecdote devait juste être une introduction à mon article sur le Bosque Village, et voila que j'en ai fait un article à part entière...&lt;br /&gt;Venons en donc au fait, le Bosque Village donc... Au départ, c'est l'histoire d'un mec (vous la connaissez, non?). Il s'appelle Bryan, il est américain, et un jour il a tout vendu pour s'acheter un bout de foret (33 hectares) au Mexique. Il y a construit une maison, des toilettes sèches, une citerne pour récupérer l'eau de pluie, et installé quelques panneaux solaires. depuis le début, il est autonome en ce qui concerne l'eau et l'électricité: son terrain n'est relié par aucun câble ni tuyau! D'un point de vue alimentaire, ses nombreuses plantations expérimentales (sans apport d'eau externe) ne suffisent cependant pas encore à nourrir les habitants du Bosque Village.&lt;br /&gt;Un jour, Mary, américaine elle aussi et partageant les mêmes idéaux et la même gentillesse que Bryan est venue doubler la population du Bosque village. Ils étaient alors deux! depuis, ils ont construit quelques cabanes en bois, encore plus de toilettes sèches, encore plus de citernes d'eau, et même un sauna! Bryan a 41 ans maintenant, et il commence à recevoir au Bosque Village aussi bien des visiteurs attirés par "l'écotoursime" que des bénévoles venus pour contribuer au développement du Bosque Village en échange d'être nourris et logés, et bien sûr d'apprendre tout un tas de choses. Dominik (le jongleur polonais) est un des trois bénévoles résidant actuellement au Bosque Village.&lt;br /&gt;Gloria et moi avons entendu parler de Bryan et de ses projets par Paul, un jeune homme qui nous a hébergé á Morelia. Paul a lui aussi une sensibilité écologique, et il possède certaines compétences sur les encres naturelles. Dans quelques mois il les expérimentera sur le papier recyclé fabriqué au Bosque Village. Les conversations avec Paul nous ont enthousiasmés, alors on a contacté Bryan (inscrit sur Couch Surfing lui aussi) qui a accepté de nous recevoir 48 heures au Bosque Village. Ça a été une expérience de plus en dehors des sentiers battus, très positive à beaucoup de points de vue!&lt;br /&gt;Au départ nous avons été surpris par la rigidité et la sévérité du règlement en vigueur au Bosque Village. Mais il faut préciser que ledit règlement porte sur la sobriété de l'utilisation de l'eau et de l'électricité (ressources rares), sur la sécurité (risque élevé d'incendies), et sur le respect des autres (vie en communauté oblige) et de l'environnement (écosystème fragile). En somme, des règles qui coulent de source.&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons été surpris par la gentillesse de Bryan, par sa dévotion dans son projet, et par son enthousiasme à en parler et à le faire partager. Pour notre part, nous avons eu le temps pour notre plus grand plaisir de participer à deux ou trois des projets en cours de réalisation. Et de repartir avec quelques idées...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;ps: pour en apprendre plus sur le Bosque village: &lt;a href="http://www.bosquevillage.com/"&gt;http://www.bosquevillage.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-2547523480525697739?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/2547523480525697739/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=2547523480525697739&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/2547523480525697739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/2547523480525697739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/11/48-heures-au-bosque-village.html' title='48 heures au Bosque Village'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-3726685894036331767</id><published>2008-11-27T19:57:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T20:00:07.590-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Parque Nacional Barranca del Cupatizio, Uruapan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SS9QoEUP-fI/AAAAAAAAABs/XANfYOilc6A/s1600-h/Uruapan.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273522337957804530" style="DISPLAY: block;

È quello che cercherò di fare nell'articolo di oggi...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Siamo più che mai entrati nel viaggio, ed il picnic di addio prima della partenza ci sembra ormai lontano. Ci abituiamo alla nostra nuova quotidianeita ed ai ritmi della nostra nuova vita, mentre gli aquarelli di Gloria sono sempre più belli. Non crediate che sia sempre riposo: caminiamo tanto e ci chiede tanti sforzi di organizzazione per stabilire il percorso, cercare alloggio, e tante altre cose &lt;em&gt;("se laviamo i panni ora, sarrano asciutti prima che ripartiamo?")&lt;/em&gt;, ecc ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Siamo sempre più rapidi ad aprire e chiudere gli zaini, e sempre più precisi a valutare quanto tempo rimarremo in un posto. Mi è costato un mesetto a convincere Gloria di strappare e portarci dietro le tre pagine della guida che ci servono quotidianamente piuttosto che di trascinare ogno volta un libro di un kilo, pero alla fine ci sono riuscito!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pensavamo di percorrere il Messico più o meno in due mesi, pero finalmente sará piuttosto &lt;em&gt;"più"&lt;/em&gt; di &lt;em&gt;"meno"&lt;/em&gt;, così che potremmo essere ancora qui per natale e capodanno. Infatti, avevamo l'intenzione di viaggiare più rapido, pero ci rendiamo conto del peccato di perderci tanti posti, allora abbiamo aggiornato un pò il calendario.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Questa settimana è stata ricca di incontri. Abbiamo condiviso una caminata in montagna di cinque ore (sarebbero state solo tre se non avessimo sbagliato strada) con il cinese (non infame) Sam, e la &lt;em&gt;Montpellierese&lt;/em&gt; Florence, con cui ho pure scoperto conoscenze comuni in Barcellona!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;A Morelia, abbiamo ritrovato Manuela, un'amica di Barcellona venuta qui un pò prima della mia partenza per l'India, più di due anni fa. Doveva rimanere soltanto qualche mese, e sta ancora qui! In questa stessa città, siamo stati ospitati da Paul ed i suoi coinquilini. Un ragazzo molto simpatico e con una storia interessante alle spalle: nato nella capitale messicana, ha emigrato negli Stati Uniti con i suoi quando aveva soltanto otto anni. Gli diedero la cittadinanza americana, però gliela ripreserero qualche anno dopo, quando all'ora di fare il servizio militare, preferí disertare e tornare in Messico. Anche se non puo più tornare nella prima potenza mondiale dove vivono ancora i suoi genitori, che non vede ormai da sei anni, non si è mai pentito della sua scelta. Dei suoi amici coetani che hanno fatto il servizio militare, parecchi sono stati inviati in Irak, e non ha più notizie di loro: le sue e-mail rimangono senza risposta...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Un'altro incontro interessante è stato quello con Betty, una statunitense di sessantadue anni che ci ha ospitati qualche giorno fa. Una delle cose che mi stimola di più nelle mie varie imprese, è la paura un giorno di essere vecchio, di guardare indietro i tanti anni passati, e di rendermi conto di avere consumato banalmente la vita. È anche per quello che ho deciso di viaggiare. Allora ovviamente, quando abbiamo incontrato Betty, non ho potuto impedirmi di pensare che mi piacerebbe alla sua età, di avere riempito la mia vita come lei ha fatto con la sua. Questa signora ha viaggiato il mondo, e dopo di avere lavorato tanti anni come programatrice, ed altri tanti anni come professoressa, si è convertita in artista del vetro. Originaria di Seatle, vive ora in Messico dopo di essere passata in parecchi posti, senza mai fermarsi più di sei anni nello stesso. Fra un anno, si trasferirà a Taiwan dove suo figlio, sposato con una cinese, vive gia da un pò...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Per cio che ci riguarda, che i famigliari ed amici non si preoccupino subito: abbiamo l'intenzione di tornare in Europa dopo questo viaggio. Dopo del prossimo viaggio invece, ne riparleremo...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>Giá un mese!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Il primo mese di viaggio é passato anche per me, e non potevo mancare l'appuntamento sul blog per raccontare le mie impressioni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Per cominciare ho la sensazione che il tempo sia volato, ma ovvio che é sempre cosí quando ci si diverte!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Fino ad ora il viaggio é stato realmente sopra le mie aspettative: niente agguati e violenze, niente indigestioni e diarree e soprattutto niente incontri tanto temuti con ragni e insetti vari.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;A parte gli scherzi quello che piú mi ha colpito di questo paese sono le persone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;I messicani che abbiamo incontrato lungo il nostro percorso si sono rivelati sempre molto ospitali, generosi e curiosi di conoscerci. In tante situazioni ci dimostrano entusiasmo di condividere con noi il loro tempo e di ascoltare i nostri racconti di viaggio e progetti per i prossimi itinerari. Spesso ci dicono:"Alla fine del viaggio conoscerete Messico meglio di qualsiasi messicano". Ci piacerebbe, ma ovviamente non sará cosí; questo paese é talmente complesso che ogni stato é molto differente dagli altri in termini di paesaggio, gente, cultura, cucina, ecc.... Ci sono zone in cui le comunitá sono piú chiuse e mantengono per loro le tradizioni e i riti ancestrali che a volte risalgono a epoche precedenti la colonizzazione ispanica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Un'altro elemento che ci ha stupito ed emozionato é la natura. Non pensavamo esistessero aree verdi cosí grandi e situazioni tanto bizzarre in cui la forza della natura si manifesta: alberi enormi che crescono su pareti rocciose, e dentro o sulla cima di altri alberi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Man mano che ci spostiamo verso ovest il paesaggio cambia dalla foresta tropicale delle zone umide di Yucatan e Chapas, ai boschi di pini intorno a San Cristobal de las Casas, fino ad arrivare a montagne coperte di cactus verso Puebla (vicino a Cittá di Messico).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Come potete vedere sulla mappa che ho disegnato, ci siamo spostati da est verso ovest per raggiungere Taxco (cittá minera d'estazione dell'argento) dove siamo attualmente. Da martedí ci muoveremo verso nord con la meta di arrivare fino al 'Barranca del Cobre' (Cañons del rame) prima di riscendere a Cittá del Messico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Gloria&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269433721493669458" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 265px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SSDKDREYRlI/AAAAAAAAABc/4qcU8sPI3N0/s400/DSC_8767.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-4689830473816632506?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/4689830473816632506/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=4689830473816632506&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4689830473816632506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/4689830473816632506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/11/gi-un-mese-2.html' title='Giá un mese!'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SSDKDREYRlI/AAAAAAAAABc/4qcU8sPI3N0/s72-c/DSC_8767.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-2125283792319626014</id><published>2008-11-16T18:36:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-16T18:58:21.169-06:00</updated><title type='text'>www.couchsurfing.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SSDBUo6J2TI/AAAAAAAAALE/q58bvDhrinI/s1600-h/nosotros+en+Agua+Azul.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269424124346358066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SSDBUo6J2TI/AAAAAAAAALE/q58bvDhrinI/s400/nosotros+en+Agua+Azul.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"C'est pour faire du surf?" (1)&lt;/em&gt; asked in french my 15 years old cousin Alienor; &lt;em&gt;"Non, c'est pour coucher!" (2)&lt;/em&gt; replied my mother, not without her very-own sense of humour. CouchSurfing actually is an online community of people offering hospitality at home to the other members of the community that ask for it. I often heard about this web site in the past, but I never had paid much attention to it until my mother told me few months ago that she was member and that she recently received her first visitors, a Canadian family travelling to France. I spoke about it to Gloria, and as we saw here a way to reduce our travelling budget, we decided to register.&lt;br /&gt;And we are happy to have done it! Not only for the money we saved, but also for the great experience it has been to meet each of our hosts! The reason we are travelling for is to discover a country, its culture and its people, and CouchSurfing helps us to fulfils all of theses three requirements. Being hosted by local people is a reach experience, because they can teach you about local culture more that what you can learn from your Lonely Planet travel guide. We have been hosted in that way by people of very different social classes, from the young student girl in Puebla to the 64 years old man working for the Mexican government in Campeche. Not all of our hosts come from CouchSurfing, we also physically met people that invited us to stay at their home. But in all cases, we always met very interesting and open-minded people with the will to share a piece of their culture and history.&lt;br /&gt;People often wonder about CouchSurfing if it is secured... Well, until now, we haven't suffered any bad experience, and we aim keeping using this service as much as we can. We also hope to be able to host in turn people coming from the whole world once we are back to Europe...&lt;br /&gt;I finally really invite you to learn more about CouchSurfing at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.couchsurfing.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;www.couchsurfing.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;

confessait un Henri Cartier Bresson déjà vieux dans un entretien. Je ne sais pas à quelle partie du pays, ni à quelle époque le photographe faisait référence en disant cela, mais au vu de ce que nous avons nous-mêmes pu découvrir après seulement un mois, je veux bien le croire...&lt;br /&gt;Un mois seulement, et un mois déjà! Comme le temps est passé vite jusqu'ici!&lt;br /&gt;Pour ma part, ce qui m'a impressionné le plus depuis notre arrivée et qui continue de m'impressionner, c'est la puissance de la nature. Avant même d'atterrir à Cancun le 13 octobre, alors que nous survolions l'extrémité orientale du Yucatan, nous avions du mal à réaliser que la masse verte en-dessous de nous, qui s'étendait à perte de vue et que seuls la mer des Caraïbes et le Golfe du Méxique semblaient pouvoir interrompre, n'était autre qu'une forêt infinie. Et pourtant, c'est bien le cas... L'empreinte de l'homme est bien visible certes, des routes et des villes ont été découpées dans l'épais tapis vert, mais notre impression générale toutefois, c'est qu'ici et en dépit de l'acharnement des hommes, la nature garde le dessus. Penser que la civilisation Maya s'est effondrée à cause, notamment, de la surexploitation des ressources naturelles, et constater comment quelques siècles après leur abandon, les somptueuses villes de jadis ont été englouties par des forêts tropicales, ça redonne espoir pour le futur de la planète: une vie après l'homme existe!&lt;br /&gt;Gravir la grande pyramide de Coba a été une expérience à couper le souffle. Tant que l'on est à ses pieds, on goûte juste au très agréable mais très commun plaisir d'une promenade en forêt. Mais une fois qu'on a atteint le sommet de la pyramide à 42 mètres au-dessus du sol et que l'on se retourne, alors on est pris de vertige aussi bien pour la hauteur que pour la beauté du spectacle. &lt;strong&gt;Pensez au blanc manteau auquel ressemblent les nuages lorsque vous regardez par le hublot d'un avion: on dirait du coton, et si on ne savait pas ce qu'était vraiment un nuage, on croirait pouvoir si allonger dessus. Du haut de la pyramide de Coba, c'est pareil, sauf que les nuages sont verts!&lt;/strong&gt; La forêt tropicale au Méxique va au-delà des frontières du Yucatan, on la retrouve dans une bonne partie du Chiapas, la deuxième région que nous avons traversée. A Palenque, nous avons même vécu l'amusante expérience de dormir en plein coeur de la jungle et de son surprenant (voir inquiétant) environnement sonore nocturne.&lt;br /&gt;Une fois sortis de la forêt tropicale, nous n'avons pas pour autant fini de nous émerveiller de la nature. Si notre visite aux &lt;em&gt;"Lagos de Montebello"&lt;/em&gt; a été gâchée par le mauvais temps, le soleil était en revanche au rendez-vous lorsque nous avons parcouru les eaux du &lt;em&gt;"Cañon del Sumidero"&lt;/em&gt;. Un véritable spectacle! A Tule, dans l'état de Oaxaca, nous avons été impressionnés par un arbre connu pour être la plus grande biomasse au monde: un &lt;em&gt;ahuehuete&lt;/em&gt; (un genre de ciprès) doublement millénaire. Dans la ville même de Oaxaca, c'est un cactus millénaire que le jardin botanique abrite, entre autres merveilles. Plus au sud, &lt;em&gt;"Hierve el Agua"&lt;/em&gt; est un autre phénomène surprenant de la nature: des fontaines d'eau sulfureuse alimentent plusieurs piscines naturelles situées aux bords d'une falaise à laquelle une cascade pétrifiée est suspendue! Et finalement, sur la route de Oaxaca à Puebla où nous nous trouvons actuellement, moi qui ne parviens jamais à rester éveillé dès lors que je ne suis pas au commandes du véhicule, je n'ai pu trouver le sommeil tellement j'étais captivé par le spectacle des collines couvertes par de véritables forêts de cactus!&lt;br /&gt;Depuis le début du voyage, nous en avons vu des choses impressionnantes, mais vraiment, si je ne devais en retenir qu'une, ce serait le beauté de la nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-5739099677131250455?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/5739099677131250455/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=5739099677131250455&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/5739099677131250455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/5739099677131250455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/11/un-mois-dj.html' title='Un mois déjà!'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-8672167215565522382</id><published>2008-11-07T20:45:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T21:39:50.060-06:00</updated><title type='text'>New pictures!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;We have published two new albums!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;- Gloria pictures of Yucatan, Chiapas and Tabasco:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/Gloria1YucatanChiapasTabasco"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;http://picasaweb.google.com/nomesanada/Gloria1YucatanChiapasTabasco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;

Sin embargo se puede visitar el parque-museo La Venta (donde se pueden ver las estatuas encontradas en el yacimiento &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" name="linkMeans" class="WordMean" xindent="2"&gt;arqueológico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;) y se puede ir al pueblo de Comalcalco a visitar las haciendas cacaoteras. Nosotros estuvimos hoy y nos abrió un mundo desconocido. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Quien sabía que el cacao se descubrió en México? Pero así es! En el lejano 1500 a.C. los olmecas (civilización antecedente los mayas) descubrieron esta maravilla culinaria, aun que en principio no parecía tan buena como hoy. Era una bebida muy amarga a la cual dieron el nombre &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Xocolatl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;. Solían tomarlo solo con agua (en aquella época aquí no existían las vacas) y sin azúcar (todavía no lo conocían).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Solo en la mitad del 1500 las semillas se importaron en España, en el 1600 en Italia y a seguir en Francia, Suiza (donde se construió la primera fabrica estable), Alemania, Inglaterra.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;En Europa se produció por primera vez lo que aquí llaman el Chocolate Golosina, osea el chocolate con leche da utilizar para los dulces. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;El proceso de producción del chocolate, nos explicaron, que no es nada sencillo. Después de recoger las frutas, separan los granos de la pulpa, los ponen a fermentar unos días (desde este proceso se puede hacer un licor muy bueno), los limpian, los ponen a secar al sol unos días mas, los tostan, les quitan las cascaras soplando por encima y en fin se machacan en un molino con un poco de calor para que salga la mantequilla de cacao. Una vez obtenida la pasta se añade azúcar, vainilla o canela y está listo para comer o hacer bebidas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;En fin me salió una gana de plantar árboles de cacao a mi vuelta en Europa! Lastima que estos árboles necesitan una temperatura mínima de 18º por todo el año.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Gloria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-1162670622411623862?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/1162670622411623862/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=1162670622411623862&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1162670622411623862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/1162670622411623862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/11/viva-el-chocolate.html' title='Viva el chocolate!'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SQ6uzmigtzI/AAAAAAAAAAk/_fFEVOLfTFI/s72-c/DSCN8992.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-7357853121780846717</id><published>2008-10-31T22:00:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T04:35:42.711-05:00</updated><title type='text'>La perfeción no existe</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;Extracto de un texto leido en la casa "Na Bolom" en San Cristobal de las Casas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;"Hachakyum, el creador supremo de los Locandones, trató varias veces de crear los seres perfectos que podrían rezarle a él.

en el cuadro del Festival Internacional Cervantino 2008. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Guanajuato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; aún está lejos y nos faltan unas semanas para llegar allí. Lo que no &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;imaginabamos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; es que íbamos a asistir al festival igualmente! Este año de hecho, el estado de Campeche, el mas occidental de la península del &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Yucatan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, participa al evento en calidad de estado invitado. Así, tuvimos la oportunidad de escuchar al pianista &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;mexicano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Alberto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Cruzprieto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;Y que concierto! Si &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Alberto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Cruzprieto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, al tocar el piano, no nos &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;permitó&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; dudar de su talento, los organizadores no podían pretender el mínimo comento positivo! Empezando por las estafadas en la entrada, que tampoco conocían el programa: cuando nos presentamos para pedir la confirmación que en la sala iban a dar un concierto, nos dijeron que no, que esa noche se daba un ballet. A Gloria, bailarina durante su juventud, le hacía aún mas ilusión. Pero se trataba bien de un concierto...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;Al llegar, el pianista parecía bastante enfadado por la mala organización. Mas adelante supimos que nadie lo esperó al aeropuerto, que llegó por su cuenta al teatro, y que tampoco aquí estaba algún responsable de la organización para recibirlo y presentarlo al publico. Así empezó a tocar en una sala vuelta caótica por los movimientos continuos de la gente que llegaba con retraso y de las estafadas que a un cierto punto empezaron a recorrer las filas para distribuir el programa del concierto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;Durante el intermedio, dos chicos presentes en el publico se levantaron y subieron al escenario: el primero para tocar el piano, y el otro para grabarlo con su camera-vídeo. Pasaron unos minutos antes que los interrumpieron y los obligaron a dejar el sitio. No sin los aplausos cómplices del publico que antes no había aplaudido el artista programado con tanta energía.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;Pero &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Alberto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Cruzprieto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; no necesitaba esta ultima falta de respecto: ya había decidido de no volver a tocar después del intermedio. Lo encontramos brevemente fuera del teatro y le aseguramos de nuestro sostengo mientras intentaba explicarse con una parte del publico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;Así pasó nuestra última noche en la península del &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Yucatan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,0)"&gt;, y la segunda de las dos que pasamos en Campeche.

Sottile sabbia bianca, come fosse farina e un mare turchese, calmo e caldo. Ovviamente ci sono anche le palme a completare il paesaggio &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;paradis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;iaco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Il caldo umido tropicale della regione ci toglie le energie, ma la voglia di entrare a pieno nel nostro &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;viaggio ci fa proseguire verso l'interno visitando le varie zone archeologiche: Tulum, Coba e Chichen Itza. Coba è meravigliosa; le rovine sono immerse nella selva tropicale e ogni volta c'è l'effetto sorpresa. Qui abbiamo scalato la grande piramide di 42 metri di altezza, sfidando le mie vertigini. La scalata, e forse di più la discesa, sono state una lunga sofferenza ma una volta sopra ne è valsa la pena. Fit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;ta vegetazione a 360º!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;E dopo il brivid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;o d'altezza, ritorniamo a bassa quota per raggiungere la capitale dello Yucatan: Merida. La città coloniale è bella e piena di attività culturali. Qui stiamo passando delle giornate piacevoli cercando anche di riprenderci dal caldo e dalle lunghe camminate dei giorni passati.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Gloria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Foto: io e Luisa a Puerto Morelos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-8734095761439162445?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/8734095761439162445/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=8734095761439162445&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8734095761439162445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8734095761439162445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/10/prime-notizie-dal-mexico.html' title='Prime notizie dal Mexico!'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cGutzCBtaao/SQ59biaME5I/AAAAAAAAAAc/dshxJm-5y8A/s72-c/DSC_7179.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-8855951210712977210</id><published>2008-10-11T07:49:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T04:38:04.548-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Un picnic para saludarnos</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;A los barceloneses, os esperamos para un picnic este domingo en el parque de la Ciutadella a partir de las 13:30, para un último saludo.&lt;br /&gt;En caso de lluvia, nos protegemos en la glorieta del parque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gloria y Pierre-Henri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-8855951210712977210?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/8855951210712977210/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=8855951210712977210&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8855951210712977210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8855951210712977210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/10/los-barceloneses-os-esperamos-para-un.html' title='Un picnic para saludarnos'/><author><name>Gloria i Pierre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00329206495066142427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SB38vDYWrTY/SP_wbBSK8TI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ujw8w_z29jQ/S220/nomesanada.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-8472734668718290326</id><published>2008-10-11T07:34:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T04:38:55.443-05:00</updated><title type='text'>El viaje no es vacaciones!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Aquí estamos, solo faltan unos días antes de irnos. El lunes a esta misma hora, ya estaremos en el avión!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;El viaje no es vacaciones! Para mucha gente, el hecho de interrumpir voluntariamente la actividad profesional, sobretodo para viajar, es sinónimo de tomar vacaciones. Pero que interpretación muy binaria de la vida! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Una de las diferencias entre la especia humana y las otras especias animales es que los seres humanos necesitan dar na dimensión espiritual a su vida. Por eso existe el arte, y por esto inventamos las religiones. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Entre otro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Gloria y yo viajamos con esta voluntad de descubrir nuevos horizontes, nueva gente y nuevas culturas. Mas que gana, se trata de necesidad. La necesidad de entender lo que hace vivir los otros, sus valores, sus "misiones". Todo ser humano un día se preguntó a se mismo &lt;em&gt;"Porque vivo?"&lt;/em&gt;. Viajar también consiste en interesarse a la respuesta que los otros dan a esta pregunta. En este sentido, viajamos para cumplir esta necesidad de dar una dimensión espiritual a nuestra vida. &lt;em&gt;"Només anada"&lt;/em&gt;, o solo ida: aquí esta la diferencia entre el viaje y las vacaciones. Por esto me gustan mas los viajes largos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;De otro lado, el trabajo en si mismo no es una necesidad fundamental del ser humano. Lo que realmente necesitamos es sentirse útiles para la sociedad, es decir dar un sentido a nuestra vida. Normalmente, esta sensación se consigue a través del desarrollo e una actividad laboral. Se uso la palabra &lt;em&gt;"normalmente"&lt;/em&gt;, es que desgraciadamente, un problema mayor de nuestra sociedad es que muchos empleos no permiten a los que los hacen de gozar de esta sensación. Es el caso de los empleos con los cuales nos sentimos anónimos, o &lt;em&gt;"números"&lt;/em&gt;. Y en este caso, trabajar solo permite de cumplir a nuestras necesidades primarias, es decir animales: comer, beber, dormir, y asegurar la supervivencia de la especia. Pero en estas condiciones, como lo decía el cómico francés Michel Colucci alias Coluche: &lt;em&gt;"On dit que les gens veulent du travail. C'est pas vrai: de l'argent leur suffirait!"&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Con este texto, espero haber aclarado porque estamos a punto de irnos de viaje, y no de vacaciones. También espero haber dado la gana de viajar a quien me habrá leído hasta este punto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-8472734668718290326?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/8472734668718290326/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=8472734668718290326&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8472734668718290326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/8472734668718290326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/10/aqu-estamos-solo-faltan-unos-das-antes.html' title='El viaje no es vacaciones!'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-128181433141051902</id><published>2008-09-08T18:13:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-11T07:43:07.959-05:00</updated><title type='text'>13 ottobre</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;L’idea di questo viaggio è nata circa un anno fa, durante la preparazione della tesina del mio master, quando un giorno forse per la stanchezza e lo stress ho ‘buttato lì’ la frase: ‘Pierre, andiamo a fare un lungo viaggio?’Ancora non sapevo che Pierre prende tutto sul serio….soprattutto quando si tratta di girare il mondo. E quasi un anno dopo ci ritroviamo a realizzare questo sogno con tante emozioni e paure (soprattutto mie), e allo stesso tempo ad organizzare tante cose pratiche come ridurre la nostra casa a pochi scatoloni, liberarci delle nostre poche proprietà, salutare tutti gli amici e ovviamente preparare il nostro blog. Només anada – Solo andata (in catalano)– ci è sembrato il nome adatto per esprimere il senso di libertà che anima questo viaggio e soprattutto questo periodo della nostra vita insieme. E quale lingua migliore del catalano per ringraziare la città e i luoghi che ci hanno ospitato e divertito nei nostri ultimi 4 anni?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gloria&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-128181433141051902?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/128181433141051902/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=128181433141051902&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/128181433141051902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/128181433141051902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/09/lidea-di-questo-viaggio-nata-circa-un.html' title='13 ottobre'/><author><name>Gloria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17101340727552158771</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232068362464057248.post-6377672988621493889</id><published>2008-09-04T18:07:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T03:22:31.622-05:00</updated><title type='text'>13 octobre</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Només anada"&lt;/em&gt;, ça veut dire &lt;em&gt;"aller simple"&lt;/em&gt; en catalan! C'est l'expression qui traduit le mieux le sentiment qui nous anime à Gloria et moi, alors que nous finissons nos préparatifs.&lt;br /&gt;Et oui, vous l'avez compris, nous serons bientôt &lt;em&gt;"on the road again"&lt;/em&gt;, à partir du 13 octobre prochain pour être exact! Cette fois, nous partons vers le Mexique que nous traverserons d'est en ouest, du sud au nord. Ensuite, nous devrions voler à Quito en Equateur, d'où nous devrions nous rendre par voie terrestre au Pérou et poursuivre jusqu'au Chili. Enfin, nous ne manquerons pas avant de rentrer un dernier détour par le Brésil où nous attendront l'ami Christian et Janaina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Aller simple"&lt;/em&gt;, car nous n'avons pas établi une date de retour, ni un point de chute précis. &lt;em&gt;"Aller simple"&lt;/em&gt;, parce que c'est l'unique manière de voyager, en vivant le quotidien et sans penser au retour.&lt;br /&gt;Nous créons aujourd'hui ce blog comme un lien entre nous et vous, nos amis et nos familles, afin de partager ensemble cette expérience. Afin de satisfaire le plus d'entre vous, nous chercherons de le faire en français et en italien, mais aussi en V.O. espagnole. Sur ce, je laisse la parole à Gloria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;Pierre-Henri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1232068362464057248-6377672988621493889?l=nomesanada.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/feeds/6377672988621493889/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1232068362464057248&amp;postID=6377672988621493889&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6377672988621493889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1232068362464057248/posts/default/6377672988621493889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nomesanada.blogspot.com/2008/09/13-octubre.html' title='13 octobre'/><author><name>Pierre-Henri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05817199218034405605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yYDicMIgmiE/SMWsoJoyChI/AAAAAAAAAHA/00lzankHJn8/S220/msn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
