WHY START A BLOG?

This is my very first post. The idea of writing a blog came from some friends that know of my love for travel, taking photos of my trips and also collecting different small souvenirs from the places visited.  They think it might be interesting to share them with all of you, all being the two or three readers I hope to achieve in due time.  Comments, suggestions and ideas are welcome.  All the best to you.

I have not written in a long time, maybe lack of inspiration, certainly not lack of time, but more exactly, I did not know what to write about.  In the meantime I went to Mexico for over three weeks and had a great time, although i had never been so cold in that beautiful city, particularly in the mornings and evenings, some days it was necessary to wear my coat inside the house.  Many people are surprised when i mention the fact that this winter had been very cold in the city, as they mostly assume it is always warm and sunny, but…. yes, Mexico City is more or less at the same level as Morocco, thus you would expect warm weather throughout the year, but this winter has been particularly crazy all over the world, maybe something to do with climate warming or not, but in the city the houses are not prepared for rude winters, the walls tend to be rather thin and of course lack most kinds of insulation, other than a thin layer of plaster, and this if you are lucky to live in a building but  many people live in tin houses, literally the walls are made of tin sheets, the roofs also and bricks and mortar are not the common building materials, others bear even harsher conditions as the houses are made of cardboard.  To make it all worse, if you have a job that calls you really in the morning, you have to leave your house extremely early, when weather can be 5 or 6 degrees above zero, and what if you do not have enough clothes to protect you?

I was very lucky as my friend’s house was cold but we have enough covers and warm clothes and once the sun starts shinning, which it does most of the days, the situation changes rapidly and cold becomes a pleasant warm temperature, some days even hot!

The sun, that beautiful and splendid ball of fire that brings life and joy to humans, although it can also be overpowering and relentless and cruel and without it, life could not exist, at least my life.  it could be said that I am daughter of the sun, it makes me thrive and allows me to be happy and full of energy, charges my batteries.
