Deep Red Bridesmaid Dresses



Tour "underground "of chepe Nothing more to tell you that this weekend a daring Swedish, ventured on a tour chepe of a heart citadina. I had put the anuncillo here on the blog, and even I had forgotten. When I wrote. She lives in Curridabat and takes 3-4 weeks here. For reasons of work will live about 2 years Chepe. And I wanted to learn more about the city in which to live, to have a broader perspective of how it is.
Well traveled trying not show just how beautiful, and we traveled to all parts of leg chepe center, from Coca Cola to Market Bourbon, Mail, Market, street number, taking us something here and there. Displaying a bit with the dynamic of the city, from the people who travels, lives. One has been collecting data for years of how, as the city works. The interesting nooks, hammocks, worth, etc.
I must say that both had a good time, and now wants to move to center chepe ! Well, for what counts, it seems boring suburban life, which depends both bus or car and where people are not part of the streets and sidewalks and feels the closure, isolation. I really chepe is attractive, but still offers opportunities for housing. Subject I would like to know what you think and the eternal question of whether to invest in projects middle income or high ... or whores ...
On Sunday we traveled from one end to the city by car, passing from Pavas center, Tobias Bolanos, DM farmer Hatillo 8, Alajuelita , San Antonio, Escazú (areas of development for upper classes destruyend are mountains and isolating and sectorized people too), Santa Ana, Lindora, Cuba B °, B ° Cristo Rey, B ° Lujan, La California, Ammon, B ° Tournon, Guadalupe Coronado, Moravia ..... Ufffffffff , a run of a thousand devils!, But really interesting. Broadly speaking
touring and identifying various aspects of the city, its form, particularly ...
I think was pretty happy, it is said that the tour 2 days, exceeded their expectations . That yes. is a tour just for lovers of Urban merely aspects of the city and its delights ... no birds, no frogs , or museums, or suspension bridges .. adrenaline is entering Bourbon, adjoining with most damaged areas of a city, see how buildings grow like mushrooms in a ghetto living outside the world around him or a general view from the Plain of Alajuelita in a viewpoint .
Seeing the city as a whole with their troubled us about the creatures that inhabit the circuit, the building, work, live, suffer, love and hate. And what is that to vacilón mae , loved chepe center ... Nothing
a situation that arises from the blog and opens new possibilities of seeing the city ... and share ...
There are still many things to think ... (Lately I've been a bit on the moon ).....

Table Leg Tripod In Or Out



Rembrand in Chepe

Vieras who walked through downtown, and in that I see some cars parked in full public area, in the crosswalk. I puti all, but was passing as they do not investigate anything. Once back, I see the issue more carefully and I said, but that is the nerve!! Some cats and dogs as 50mts cars, making up two rows, leaving a espaciecillo for pedestrians.
For in that
Paquillo and as I saw some security people, and I immediately thought, must be at the National Theater, a political convention. But it is not. One of the guards told me, "It is in the Museum opens today some paint, Germany, or something. For
sounded that something important was opened in these days, but at that moment I was from memory.
already in the museum's entrance from the sidewalk were closed and no one could enter only by invitation. For it was nothing more and nothing less than the opening of Rembrandt. Work not specifically bring, but whatever, that's enough to say here in Costa Rica. Although brought the drawings he made when he was 5 years is saying something.
Location:
Someone once told me that the Museo del Banco de Costa Rica, is the only building constructed for that purpose, namely to be a museum. The Museum is also the country safer. It is also the only museum you can afford the insurance of major works to be supported by the Central Bank of Costa Rica. That is almost the only place where the work is treated as it deserves and where foreign museums lend to carry.

Little Problem! (But not both)
The little detail is that the Museum is in Puritan downtown San Jose. And diplomats and high areas unaccustomed to approach the Mucker is San Jose, could not afford not to go to the opening, from which if received invitations.
Small detail: the museum to my knowledge, no parking, and it seems that walking two or three blocks from a public parking lot, does not seem to have made them very funny. So the organizers, trying to solve a security problem, they found no better solution than using Central Avenue as parking. Again, a crushing pedestrians.
San José centro tiene el Mejor Museo(infraestructura), los mejores teatros, y tal vez paremos de contar(tiene otras cosas que mejor no contarlas aquí...). Todavía no los han pasado para Güeto-Lindora, mientras tanto parece que eso de venir a San José a ver las "artes mayores" para ciertas clases es un asunto de vida o muerte. Para los que tienen mucho que perder, San José no tiene la infraestructura que "merecen", para eso están los barrios, clubes y centros comerciales donde pasan sus días, sin saber que existe una avenida peatonal.

Siempre me llama la atención como el "Arte" sigue moviendo tantas cosas, aún después de fallecidos sus creadores, y como toda una burocracia cultural diplomacy and enlightened bourgeoisie are promoting this, and are called unavoidable.
For now, must be given a turn to see Rembrandt ( Netherlands, 1606-1669) , Dutch painter of some paintings that I love above all a self-portrait of + or - 1665 -1658.

say painting was a kind of psychological, where he was trying to extract the life of the people portrayed. (Pictured above)

Dune Buggy Pine Derby Car



Weather Benigno not have to be very smart to figure out how climate influences on people. The wonderful days we already since December, are really no words. A clear sky, strong sun coupled with a fresh breeze, which push to want to be getting all the time the sun's rays more, while shadows are reserved for March, when the sun is unbearable.
One of these days I stayed a while eating a ice cream in the place of culture, although normally there are often many people, something surprised me for weekday.
were not one, two or three. Were many children (if not thousands, which would be an exaggeration) who inhabited the city clears, a stress-free school romp.
vacations fit well either, and the kids just appreciate it more. But such scenes with children are not very common in San Jose downtown, because children are confined to their homes, schools and neighborhoods. San Jose is large, people full of responsibilities and ways known to go where needed, not always where you want.
will Start shopping boring classes, or X required purchases with their parents who had no one to leave.
Whatever the reasons, these elves were fascinated running, teasing, chasing the pigeons in the square, enjoying the afternoon sun, the breeze, this public space where everyone participates, observe and are observed. Meanwhile, their parents, not wasting the time sunbathing on a bench, while their children all their life energy discharged after pigeons. The truth was very chiva the ratillo happens.
One sign of the state of a park, plaza, is the number of eagles that have it and the number of people in their pews. And in this case, one could say the place is in good health ...
