Wood earthquake
In 1909 Valdivia suffered a fire that swept through and took all vestiges of its past. They decided to rebuild it to what began to be used for decades as concrete and brick, but in 1960 an earthquake -The most intense on record, the jolt. Is all? No. Only the concrete, the city remained wood, because wood moves, is molded. Disaster expert told me in Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, earthquakes are more sympathetic to the poor than the rich, wood concrete binomial instead hurricanes are a few jerks and no pity for the disinherited, the wood becomes cigarette paper and fly, fly. The concrete holds.

Green Monkey Sincerely
had it, since I left the Amazon, Iquitos, before Christmas not enjoyed bright green, except for the trip to the Yungas in Bolivia. I had mono. I wanted to walk, breathe the moist air, forests, vegetation. I went to Parque Oncol, a forest valdiviano , evergreen forest, a name that describes a characteristic group of trees, with numerous endemic types. We were a small group and each went their separate ways, I got tired of walking and do not share.

My first total lunar eclipse! I
seen only in the Northern Hemisphere is in the South are more often, so at least I confessed. He no longer surprised. The light was so strange que se podía ver hasta Saturno con su precioso anillo. Lo vi a través de un telescopio, en la costanera de Valdivia; un historiador se sacaba unos lucas (durillos) con su instrumento cobrando por mirar, me prometió un par de imágenes. Nunca llegaron, así que las he robado de la red. Si observáis no es el mismo que viste vosotros porque la evolución del eclipse es diametralmente opuesta. El sol, por cierto, también sale aquí por el Este, pero por la izquierda y no por la derecha como en el Norte.
