Polystyrene Building Blocks

night Crying


This is an exercise memory. Memories are an important part of the soul and do not want to forget anything that happened in my life. I have had many nice things and a few persons who were not so. Travel has been and is one of my greatest pleasures and I am proud to have feet planted in so many countries that made me see life differently. Also, if some day my son reads this blog, I found out that her mother was not always a cop and a heavy old who only knows to say "bundle up". Countries

ever trod, lived or traveled (not chronological or alphabetical order but slightly geographic):

1. Argentina . Of my loves. Born and raised to the sound of the tango (on radio), the English pop (in my going-cassettes) and the paso doble (the voice of my mother). I toured with Claudia from top to bottom, we lacked Ushuaia ...
