saquemos lo tirantes...guardemos los guantes!!

Hay muchísimas alternativas para hacer un sábado en Nueva York y, más…cuando sale el Sol…las nubes se levantan pero…no cae un chaparrón…que sí! que no! que no caiga un chaparrón…

Se trata de un sábado de 90ºF…saquemos los tirantes! …y guardemos los guantes!! Pospongamos la limpieza semanal de la casa, que en una semana estará de nuevo guarra! y salgamos a respirar buen clima…un paseo por Central Park...visitas a museos de todos los tipos...restaurantes de todos los colores... shopping... festivales de música o…por qué no? al Botanic Garden, un parque museo con festivales de gente paseando sus coloradas pieles. Un punto estratégico para tener un poco de todo en un día brillante. Sol, variados colores, deliciosos sabores, nuevas texturas, bienvenidas alegrías…empieza el buen tiempo!! Y ya era hora…tengo el reloj atrasado unas cuantas semanas. Ya casi en Mayo y yo…con estos pelos!!

Y con tanto frío como hemos tenido, pues claro, no nos hemos percatado de esos kilos de más…empecemos a buscar la dieta más eficiente, dejemos las hamburguesas y tiremos por las manzanas, siempre en el mercado de enfrente…

Y aunque a algunos no les hace falta…

 

A otros…hay que convencerles…

Pero en fin, no dejemos de salir, disfrutemos del día, aunque no hayamos tenido tiempo ni de cortarnos las barbas…

Aunque hayamos trabajado la noche anterior…”echemos una siestecita en el parque, que me han dicho que en España lo hacen todos los días y sienta muy muy bien!”

bailemos bajo los cerezos

sonriamos…que no es febrero!

o, para una foto…qué recuerdo!!

 

…No paro de aprender, no paro de absorber...y de beber...crianzas, reservas, tempranillos, cabernet, merlot o suavignon, bebiendo culturas, hoy todas ellas con algo en común…siempre una gran cola en el baño femenino.  Si es que con tanto sol y con tanta dieta…bebamos! purifiquemos!

 

 

Y es que todas las madres recordando: “Bebe agua y protéjete del sol, que te quemas los mofletes…”

 

 

 

 

 

Y solo los mas acalorados recurren a la sombra…

 

Pero no todos tienen la suerte de ponerse las tirantes en Abril en Nueva York, otros…se tienen que poner el cinturón…

 

“Cariño, no te preocupes que no está prohibido andar descalza…pero dile a tu padre que no ronque…”

 

 

Y como siempre, colores, razas, culturas, idiomas, risas, un gazpacho con los mejores ingredients, mofletes de tomates, cuerpos de pan duro, ajitos picantes, pepinos que repito y agüita… que rica!! todos frescos, sabrosos, de temporada…Gazpachito!! Llega el veranito!! Y hasta Libertad se ha animado a probarlo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cheese hamburger, fried potatos and coca cola light, please

Due to many things in common, I decided to call my bike the same name that the old horse that carried the historic and dreamer Don Quijote de la Mancha. My Rocinante is not as famous as the real Rocinante, but he has become a fantastic gear to move into the city. Not as famous and historic as Don Quijote, although dreamer and absent-minded, I used to ride my old but strong red bike every day. The city encourages me, I feel able to do it, enjoying all kind of adventures. 

The difference became enormous between to riding Rocinante or not. Physically and mentally, even economically. Physically because you exercise while you are enjoying the environment. Also, the sport helps you mentally. Economically, because my “horse” doesn´t need to eat…only a repair from time to time.

Because the weather is getting better, I feel glad to see people riding in a city like New York, where everything is on the top. New York is the inventor of the new trends of each period. Millions of dollars are moved, millions of people use a new product that is well-known around the world because everything new in this moment in NY will be a trend in Europe in a few months. It´s a developed and modern city that is always ahead of the world, so I´m glad that every day more and more people ride their bikes to move in the city. This is a new trend of old European cities where is building new ride ways and the mentality of people is improving. We should think more of the big damage that we are causing to the nature just to the industrialization and pollution. Even the personal damage. Humans are becoming people more sad and unhealthy, claiming for phychologists, without free time and always focused in their jobs. Everything would be easier if we had our jobs near our house, we would have more vacations and we wouldn´t waste time on the train or in the car trying to arrive to Midtown. We get a bad humor that is brought at home and you finish the day discussing with your partner. Another divorce…enormous expenses. One of the first huge business of the country. 

The problem has increased substantially in the last years. Even more in the big cities, where people have no time to enjoy things with their families and friends,  cook for themselves having a healthy diet or do sports. For these reasons, riding the bike is a good way to balance our  hard lifestyle. Sport, nature, savings…everything sounds positive.

Europe is trying to mentalize and encourage the young population to change their usual transport. More ride ways are being created in the important cities and many people are beginning to ride their bikes. Even my sixty-year-old father. “Fatty” I´m very proud of you. Also, you won´t get a divorce...I´m very proud of Rocinante too who  he is able to cross the East River with more of thirty years old.

Because of this and because is New York, the capital of the image and the fashion, there are not fat people as we think. People care their bodies, they control the diet food not being easy. The cheap food is in every nook and cranny of the city. The known fast food is elaborated with rich ingredients unhealthy. The reason is that USA has abundant fields of corn. The pop corn is one of the most rich ingredients that you can find in every product of the supermarket. The country moves millions in this business. Everything is like a chain. 

1. People eat cheap fast food. It tastes better and it´s easier to prepare. Also you save valied time.

2. People get cardie sickness, too much “garbage food”, too less fresh food. Even the fruit and vegetables are made of chemical process. I´ve already learnt how and what to buy, what kind of oranges are the best…it´s not a joke. Every piece of fruit has a number. If the number begins by 4, it´s chemically disturbed. If it begins by 9, it´s organic. It means that hasn´t antibiotic and chemically. The meat has its trick too. Young girls advance their period with only eight or nine years old. Studies have demonstrated that so many hormones in animals has caused that disease. And as I told before, this is NY. In the middle of the country, obese people increase each year, They haven´t option to choose in the supermarket. Only hamburger and corn. The fresh juice consist of a sweet sirope tasting at some fruit.

3. Consequently, people need a doctor paying thousands of dollars for an insurance and  medicines. Another business of this country. 

It´s going to be very difficult to solve everything today. I may have an idea tomorrow. 

GOOD NIGHT!!
