The cave (José Saramago)

After the opening section of collaborations that I've written here comes the second collaboration, after the first collaboration that made ​​Josepul .

This time, I have to thank for their collaboration to a great friend of St. Sebastian, ESTHER, although has not blog where bind, sure one day are encouraged, :-), so thanks for working with helloworld blog, and who knows, maybe not the last, . Enjoy it:

Josepul opened this section leaving the bar high and when Reuben asked me to be the next in collaborating said yes assuming that would be difficult to keep up. I was going to start my vacation so of free time would not, but I did not fall on the issue. I speak of the great week of my city, San Sebastian, but I saw him hit, because I did not enjoy it enough to comment on that. Yet I have included a photo of the fireworks that are the most important act that best defines the character Sebastian.

He was still mulling over the issue, when I touched pitch in the Rioja Circle (the Circle is a company located in the heart of old town where you can prepare meals, has computers, library and others, if you are interested you can visit the page ( Circle Rioja Donosti-SS ) preparing the cards for members. I lost 2 mornings of my long-awaited vacation to make photocopies, bend letters and put them in the corresponding envelope (although we are about 500 members sent 360 cards).

I also had help my father and to make matters worse this week we have endured an intense and incessant rain (how much it can rain in August?). That rain may be normal in the Cantabrian, but every time we have storm damaged the antenna of my house and I can only see ETB2, Localia Teledonosti and is to be depressed. Since we prepared the antenna to watch digital TV, this situation occurs often! Fudge as the world goes loose! This kept me from seeing Jericho, one of the few series that I do not like to miss. These circumstances inspired me to write an ode to my bad luck, but not convinced me.

Obviously the days went by and Ruben waited patiently for an answer from me.

All this has helped me realize what indecisive and demanding that I can be, well I already knew of undecided for some time and so instead of thinking you have to act.

This thought reminded me of an excerpt from the book The Cave by Jose Saramago:

"Authoritarian, stun, circular, sometimes elliptical phrases effect, also jokingly calls nuggets are a plague of the worst evil that can plague the world. We say to the confused, Know thyself, as if not knowing oneself was the fifth and most difficult operation of the human arithmetic, we say to the supine, To want is power, as if the terrible realities of the world not to have fun spending all on the relative position of verbs, say the doubters, Start at the beginning, as if the principle was always visible tip of a wire winding of that bad throw and keep throwing enough to reach the other end, the end , and as if, between the first and second, we had had in his hands a smooth and continuous thread that was not necessary to undo or untangle knots tangles, which is impossible in the life of the balls and if another phrase of effect is permitted in the tangles of life. "

Finally I would ask a favor. Will soon begin the Film Festival and the Circle is designed to project a movie from 20 to 29 September and I need suggestions. Unfortunately we have excluded horror films for the sake of our senior partners.

Buildings "official" and the Royal Guard

And now comes the turn to enjoy a few pictures of buildings "official" in Stockholm and are also really beautiful, such as official government sites, specifically Parliament, and other royal buildings like the Royal Palace, although is no longer a royal residence, if it is still home to many real events, since the Kings have their offices there, so enjoy them, first a big picture courtesy of Txus (Recommended click on it and expand it to appreciate it better):

And after is great panoramic views, a few more photos:

And as in any real building that boasts, could not miss the always strong and helpful royal guard, so also devote some pictures of the Royal Guard in Stockholm, both real buildings in the Parliament, and the royal guard at Drottningholm Palace . The truth is that since most of the royal guards are very disciplined and protocol (in the form of walking, moving, changing of the guard, etc), although not as rigid as the Royal Guard in London, and could even speak briefly with them, or throw you some pictures with them, not put any fault, provided that no traspasarás a minimum distance that you could not approach them, but it was very nice, hehe:

Stockholm: Extra photos

In the last post I have planned to do my trip to Stockholm, I will show various photos of Stockholm with a brief explanation of each, thus changing a bit the structure of the last post, as the theme of the photos I have left is varied, and although it may put a photo by post and there you would be very small, is not it, , So I hope you like:

a) The main shopping streets:

In these photos you can see a few images of the streets "known" and "famous" commercially speaking in Stockholm, visiting almost obligatory and where you get most of the memories you want to take Stockholm, :-), unless you want very specific things:

b) The lollipop

Nor could stop putting pictures of one of the most famous monuments in Stockholm: The Lollipop, or more technically a great glass obelisk, which can be seen in the center and in an area close to shopping streets and a large square, as seen in the photos:

c) University:

What also caught my attention and I was extremely beautiful, is the University, well, the university and technical courses in engineering, economic campus, letters, etc., were elsewhere. Pay attention to the photo of the roof so beautiful in the university, the truth is that no comparison with the PSC ................., hehe:

d) Place Stortorget

Here you can see some pictures of the Plaza Stortorget or Plaza Mayor, another noteworthy place in Stockholm, where among other things, you can see, in the middle of the photograph, the red and yellow houses are two bars known "gay" in Stockholm where as Dorian serves the best pies in Stockholm Apart from that at Easter and Christmas becomes one of the most emblematic places in Stockholm with markets and stalls:

e) A gas station sea

To finish off the post, I'd show some pictures of a "sea station" and is that really caught my attention because it's not something you see often, myself, had never seen one, did not think existed , and did not think her, :-):

Sculptures

Another thing that struck me is that Stockholm through the streets there are many statues will surely have a reason, but in many there is nothing, just the statue and that's it, I found it quite funny because it's not that there were few precisely. So enjoy a few photos of sculptures and statues in the streets of Stockholm.

Highlights of all statues:

• A statue in which we are pleased to observe Txus imitating the pose of the statue (Photo 8)
• A statue dedicated to Saint George (patron of Aragon) , but in Stockholm must also represent something similar (Fig. 3)
• The curious statue of a bronze mouse, because that really was curious, since we were on the street again, I stepped on the mouse and said, ahhhh a mouse, and saw that it was of bronze, there were several, just like that, were cool, but the circumstances may seem real, lol. (Photo 13)

Sigtuna

Sigtuna is a town on Lake Mälaren, Sweden, in the metropolitan area of Stockholm, founded by King Erik the Victorious (Erik Segersäll) around the year 980.

Located near the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, 35 minutes from Stockholm, next to the sparkling waters of Mälaren, during its first two centuries of existence flourished as a residence for the crown and shopping center. The city was attacked and destroyed in 1187 by soldiers from the Karelia and were under the orders of the kingdom of Novgorod (located in territories that now belong to Russia), but was rebuilt and maintained some importance until he gradually replacing its paper nearby cities like Uppsala, Visby, Kalmar and Stockholm. It was here where he first coin was minted in Sweden, under the reign of King Olaf the Treasurer (Olof Skötkonung) in the late tenth century

It currently has about 8,000 inhabitants and is a destination of some significance, since it is the first and oldest city in Sweden.

Sigtuna particularly marked the ruins of the first churches built in eastern Sweden, and a church (I do not remember his name) who is the first Christian church in Sweden, told us a very nice man who was there, so this data is unofficial.

You can also visit the palace of Steninge Sigtuna, with shops and glass blowing art gallery and the royal palace Rosersberg, rent boats and fishing gear, golf, and enjoy beautiful walks in streets looking wooden houses.
