I love this fruits, are called Lichis in spanish.

I first knew about them when my dad was working in another cities, one day he brought this weird looking fruits, and they were delicious. For the time he was working over there, he would bring them home, on the season.

Then, his work was moved, and no more lichis.

This weekend, I saw a box at the supermarket, so bought them, a real treat to the mouth.

Yummi.

A nice encounter

Perspectiva - Un encuentro Agradable

A nice encounter

Well turns out y got crazy enough to do a new thing as Jessica, and resulted to be a nice experience.

But before a little bit of historical blah
Quite often I receive petitions to add contacts to my messenger, from the Male gender. As a start, unless the adress tells me "oh the horror", I accept to say "Hello", you never know, maybe turns out to be someone nice to talk.
but it turns out, that almost allways it turns out to be the opposite. Male people just asking for pics, cam, showing off, or others things that had no point me telling.
Resulting, in taking me longer to say Hello, than blocking them. Actually I have more people in the block list than in the actual contacts.

From time to time, there are exceptions, any other boy, that quite understands a bit of what I am, and what I am not, and we end up having nice chats, or at least doesn't give me reasons to block him.
Well, one of those nice to chat, asked me a ong time ago, if he could meet Jessica in live, to say Hi.
Of course a a start my answer was no, then time passed, and made it maybe.
So I explained clearly, what to wait and what not, and after long times, I one day decided, ok, lets meet. But that time I got to cancel, work stuff. A couple more time, X or Y reason made it a no.

Finally yesterday, it happened, that Jessica was able to go out, and meet someone else in the real world.
and this time, not a girl like her, but a Man

I was total nervous, for one, I was again going out here where I live, and earlier than my usual car trips.
And two, yes, I was scared of it.

But ok, I tell you what happened in short, since I already written way too much.
I went out, of my home, a girl , alll pretty according to me.
Went up my car, and drive to the mmeting point, yes a public place, a place with a few people, a place I knew quite well.
So I dialed hi, to tell him where I was parked, and as he approached, i took a good look, not looking dangerous or anything, decided to stay.
He went into the car, we said hi, and then we started talking, while I was still all shaky from the nervous thing.
After a bit, we went down the car, and sit down in one of the park benches, yes the park I sometines go to snap a few pics. And kept talking.
It was becoming a bit late, so it was time for my new friend to go. I gave him a ride to the place he stay, and said goodbye.

Truth is, as a start I was really scared, but then I felt so normal, nice, it was a nice experience, a nice out time.
Like a male and female friends, that get together, just to talk, and no more, just being happy of the fact of being there together.
And I liked that.

To meet someoe that accepted to go with Jessica as she is, why she is, for the moment wanting no more than just the chat and company.
Someone who showed respect.
As one might said, a gentleman.

Greetings
Jessica

PS, no photo, I had someone to do as photographer, and I forgot to ask.

Times

Tiempos

Tried to translate it in english

Times

Her mind lost in fantasies
her body frozen with uncertainty
feelings that have long ago escaped

A dream that moves in slow steps
a touch that never arrives
sighs lost in the past

A texture that wraps her charms
an emotion that fill her pace
desires that she has denied

here is in spanish
Tiempos

Su mente se pierde entre fantasias
su cuerpo congelado en la incertidumbre
sentimientos que ya se han escapado

Un sueño que avanza a pasos lentos
una caricia que nunca llega
suspiros que se pierden en el pasado

La textura que envuelve sus encantos
la emocion que llena sus pasos
deseos que ella se ha negado.

A spanish prepositions rant.

Vaso de Agua, Vaso con Agua

Vaso de Agua - Vaso con agua

A spanish prepositions rant.

Ok, to my english readers, I'm sorry, but this post is more to do with a Spanish thing about prepositions.
Since I never really learned the correct use of prepositions in English, actually neither in Spanish, except for this case. I can't think of something similar to explain it in English.

So for today, I just say Hello to you.

If interested yet about my rant, well its in Spanish.

Kisses
Jessica

Una discusion de preposiciones en Español.

Vaso de Agua - Vaso con Agua

Pues ayer otra vez alguien me salio con la discusion tonta de que si es con o de.

Si ya se que diran, pero Jessica, si tu eres la persona menos indicada para andar diciendo el uso correcto del lenguaje, ni acentos usas.
Y en efecto, mi ortografia es inexistente (aunque por cuestiones filosoficas) y mi conocimiento del correcto uso de las preposiciones es malisimo (debido a pateticos profesores)

Pero en este caso, debido a que una pesima profesora, se le ocurrio una vez corregirme sobre esto, lo investigue bien y este es el unico ejemplo de uso de preposiciones que si aprendi bien con certeza.

Vaso de agua
Vaso con agua
Pongo las 2, y si las 2 son correctas

Y es que no falta el que si digo Vaso de Agua, me sale con "Como que vaso de agua, el vaso es de vidrio, el vaso no puede ser de agua, puede contener agua, no es de, es con"
O que si digo Vaso con Agua, me salen con "no se dice con, ese no es el uso correcto, es gente que se quizo poner a lo lista de que si hecho de , etc" Bueno, al menos este tiene algo de razon.

Pero los dos estan mal. Aunque el segundo tiene algo de conocimiento bien.
Por que resulta, que ambas son correctas, pero se refieren a dos condiciones distintas.

Veamos por partes.

Vaso de Agua.

Si, es totalmente correcto, y si asi lo dice la Real Academia de la lengua española, en este caso para indicar medicion o contenido.
Ejemplos,
- Una cuchara de azucar , como medida de cuanta azucar
- Un costal de grano, como lo que contiene el costal
- Un vaso de agua, como lo que contiene el vaso, o si seguimos una receta , de medida de cuanta agua.

Tambien en cierto, que se podria, usar el de, como preposicion de la materia que constituye
que es de donde nacio el problema, por que salian con que el vaso no esta hecho de agua, asi que si algun dia, alguien es tan listo como para lograr hacer un vaso hecho de agua, si tendremos un problema pa saber a que se refieren cuando digan vaso de agua, pero de momento no.

ahora vamos con la otra

Vaso con Agua

Pues adivinen, que tambien en si la frase es correcta.

La preposicion con, en uno de sus usos significa, en compañia, junto de.
Entonces que significa un Vaso con Agua, pues significa que hay un vaso, en compañia con el agua.
Puede que el agua este contenida en el vaso, puede que este alrededor del vaso, puede que este solo en el fondo.

Que ocurre, si yo pido, un vaso con agua? Pues que estoy pidiendo que me traigan juntos, el agua y el vaso.
No importa la cantidad de agua, no importa si esta contenida en el vaso, mientras esten junto, es un vaso con agua.
Si usted me trae un vaso, con una gotita de agua en un borde, habra cumplido con mi peticion, de un vaso con agua, por que eso es lo que es, agua y vaso juntos, en compañia.

Ambas son correctas, simplemente no significan lo mismo.

Y ahora me voy, pues tengo que beber un vaso de agua, y despues dejar el vaso con agua en el lavaplatos.

Bye

Kisses
Jessica

No wonder I am fat, If I eat all that.

That a dish with some interesting food from Guatemala.
It contains a piece of deer meat. I like the taste of deer.
A piece of Tepezquintle meat (you don't want to know what that is) It has a very interesting taste.
A piece of turkey. but it is wild turkey. Tastes a little different than the one bought at stores.
A piece of Armadillo.

MM, interesting and good food

Tikal Temple

Tikal Temple



This is one of the tall Temples in Tikal.
Wow, they are really, really tall.
Good thing, they put those wood stairs one can climb, thats a great idea, that way, the original stone stairs doesn't get destroyed by thousands of tourists.
And they found a way to put them, that they do not ruin the view of the Pyramids.
As you can see, it was a long, long climb upstairs.

But really it's worth it to go up

Kisses

Tikal Sunrise

Tikal Sunrise

Tikal Sunrise

Now to start with the images from Tikal.

There was this tour that, you have to be ready to go, at 3:30 am, but you were to see the sunrise, from the top of the Sun Temple.
A marvelous opportunity, so I decided to go with that.

Its amazing to walk in the Tikal Jungle, when it is still dark, and hear the sounds of animals all around you, without seen anything except few parts of the roads, from the few lamps.
Then one has to go up the temple, by climbing some wood stairs, when it is still a bit dark.
But one you arrive to the top, the view is amazing, you can see the jungle from a above, and just the tips of the tallest pyramids.

Unfortunately it was a bit cloudy that morning, so the sun was seeable, after it was a bit above the horizon, still for a little time, skiy had a little hint of orangish tone.

But the other great thing about that, is the sounds.
To hear how the jungle comes into life, as the sun rises, is amazing.
Every second, more and more birds, singing, saying Hello to the new day. And the ocassional ones flying around.
The far away sound of the howler monkeys.
It's amazing.

The photos, top, one of the first ones, that got a bit of sun reflect in the clouds.
The bottom one, a close-up of the pyramids tops, above the jungle.

I am posting a video I took with the old camera, over here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAwnble1r4I
if you decide to look at it, its much better if sound is active.

So I did travelled to the south
To the country of Guatemala.
My plan to see the Mayan ruins of Tikal.

To go there, is a nice long bus travel. From the island I live aproximately, 16 hours by bus, to the Island of Flores.

A nice little town, build in an island in the middle of the Lake Peten. Very pretty. The lake is huge.

Also a nice place to swim, and there is nothing better, to relax after a long bus trip, with the warm hot weather, than to take a nice swimming in the nice calmed waters of the Peten Lake.

The pictures.
Top a nice photo of a guy in his boat with his dog, cruising along the Lake.
Bottom, is the island of Flores, seen from a boat.
