Where the home and the heart are

Guess where we have been visiting friends...

Swansea, London, Durham.

Friends from Mexico, Colombia, Germany. We all have moved on, and are now in different places, with some ideals to fulfill yet.
Miguel and I were trying to catch a glimpse of the wind in Swansea. Lots of sport on our visit, a nice walk around the Three Cliffs Bay and the University hills (this is one of them). People seem to be quieter than in Hull. Even went to a casino where Miguel won 34 times the investment. Lucky guy eh?



Ronald and Juliana came to visit London, we joined them. Had a fantastic time catching up and talking about living in foreign countries. Ronald has not changed at all, maybe he has gained a bit of weight, but have not we all done it? It is good to talk to him, he tells you what he thinks straight away, but in a funny way, how do you do it Donald?




Yes, we all like latin american food, this is 'bistec a lo pobre', very peasant food, but we like it, maybe we are all peasants in Latin America, but we like to eat well. And on top of that we like beer. Maybe that is the reason for the belly dancers (but you cannot see much, we have hid them well!)




Not lost yet, but in Durham with Marc we found that mobile technology (plus a German friend) can help you find your way. Maybe the way to breakfast, or to the monastery!


First we found our way to a nice breakfast, some weight being put on but it was a bank holiday and an opportunity to catch up. Life as academics is not too bad is it Marc?

Nothing like waking up after a night out, a night to remember because of the waiting of the taxi. For about an hour we gained a good glipmse of the Durham culture, including a street fight controlled by the police. All of this show for free.


But Marc, maybe we need to follow a different path in life and become more meditating and careful about what we say...maybe there are answers in Durham Cathedral, you never know.

I spoke to Cecilia about this, and she does not like the idea. I wonder why...


The home and the heart is where both of them meet. Friends help us in that search!
