Rain - winter time in BA.. Déšť - zima v BA..

EN

I was told the majority of the rainfall is during the winter. So NOW! (I still cannot get used to that especially since South America has been so nice to me and invited me with the warmest autumn since ever! :-) ) I have been expecting the rain then. It came. Smoothly and gently. For two days. You know what? It was actually very nice. It has been warm last weeks again and the humidity is hight (even without rain) so the rain is not this cold beast beating you down on the street. It actually feels like it is cleaning the streets, the air, everything.. I still haven´t bought an umbrella. Maybe I will not..

Bylo mi řečeno, že většina srážek tady probíhá v zimě. Takže TEĎ! (a přesto si na to pořád nemohu zvyknout, obzvláště když na mě Jižní Amerika byla tak milá a přivítala mě s nejteplejším podzimem všech dob! :-) ) Takže jsem očekávala déšť. A přišel. Jemně a zlehka. Po dva dni. A víte co? Vlastně to bylo docela pěkné. Poslední týdny bylo opět teplo a vlhkost je stále velká (i bez deště), takže déšť není ta studená bestie co Vás ubíjí na ulici. Spíše má příchuť očisty..čistí ulice, vzduch, vše.. Stále jsem si nekoupila deštník. Možná ani nekoupím..


The old part of the river harbour close to La Boca - the poor part. We came here to buy tickets to Colonia (Uruguay)! :-) since there is the office of Colonia Express. My visa is soon getting to expire so I have to leave the country to prolong it. What a "difficulties".. ;) 
Stará část přístavu na řece, blízko La Boca - té chudé části. Přišli jsme sem koupit lístky do Colonia (Uruguay)! :-), jelikož tady je kancelář Colonia Express. Moje vízum brzy vyprší a tak musím opustit zemi, abych si ho prodloužila. Jaké to "obtíže".. ;)

 In this place there have been many companies producing the sand from the river bed to constuction sides etc. They put it into these huge containers and the water is dripping off the hoppers as you can see.. impressive..
Na tomhle místě bylo a stále je spousta společností produkujících písek ze dna řeky pro stavby atd. Nasypou ho do těchto obrovských nádob a voda odkapává těmi násypkami, jak můžete vidět... působivé..

Rainy window view.. yes obviously we are in big city with many huge buildings.. as usually the sky is clearly blue (I have to take you pics from here so you can believe me ;) ) this is an interesting change.. I rather like it.
(Sebastian onion - plant with mandala rice.. the pidgeons like it a lot too :-D )
Deštivý výhled z okna.. jasně jsme ve velkém městě se spoustou velkých budov..a jelikož je většinou obloha azurová (musím Vám to vyfotit, abyste mi věřili ;) ) tohle je docela zajímavá změna.. Vlastně se mi docela líbí.
(Sebastianovo cibule - rostlinka s rýží z mandaly.. holubům se taky moc líbí :-D )

A surprise in San Telmo.. Překvapení v San Telmu..

EN

After a nice time in Costanera Sur (they closed the reservation so we had to leave quite soon, do you remember?) Sebastian remembered there was a market close by in San Telmo and maybe I wanted to have a coffee or sth.. (he really thinks like that all the time.. amazing.. sometimes I get ashamed how selfish I am) So we went there. And the first thing we saw was this courtyard local "street" festival.. it reminded me a country music event somewhere in a village in Czech by the atmosphere. And when it comes to it almost by the music too.
Later we set of to walk trough the market. It was very nice, a lot of hand - crafted goods. Many times one is surprised by the creativity of the craftsmen.
As well we encoutered a church the quarter has its name from (ok, according to the saint man whom this church is built of course) and I as a church-lover inmediately went in. Sebastian protested several times talking about being burnt in infernal flames or the church going down or sth like that..(as the proper metal listener :-D ) but eventually he accompanied me as the right gentleman ;)

Po krásném odpoledni v Costanera Sur (zavírali tu rezervaci, tak jsme museli odejít celkem brzy, pamatujete?) si Sebastian vzpomněl, že nedaleko v San Telmu je tržnice a možná bych si chtěla dát kávu nebo něco.. (on takhle opravdu přemýšlí pořád.. neuvěřitelné..někdy se až stydím, jak jsem sobecká) Tak jsme se tam vydali. A první věc, co jsme viděli, byl tenhle nádvořní lokální country "pouliční" festival.. připomnělo mi to akci country muziky někde ve vesničce v Čechách tou atmosférou. A když na to příjde, tak i tou muzikou..
Později jsme se vydali projít si tržnici. Bylo to moc pěkné, hodně ručně vyráběného zboží. Spoustakrát se člověk pozastaví nad kreativitou řemeslníků.
Natrefili jsme i na kostel, podle kterého se čtvrť jmenuje (tedy podle daného svatého, kterému tento kostel náleží, samozřejmě) a já jako milovník kostelů se hned vydala dovnitř. Sebatian několikrát prostestoval a mluvil o tom, že ho tam schvátí plameny pekelné či že kostel spadne nebo tak něco (jako správný posluchač metalu :-D ), ale nakonec mi doprovodil, jako správný gentleman ;)
 

Kind of country festival in the yard of an old noble house.. 
Něco jako country festival na dvoře starého noblesního domu.. 


Sant Telmo.. street moments.. the fence with the moto in front of is surrounding the old house yard, the market down is beginning of a loong street with stands.. (yes Sebastian took me there voluntarily because he really takes care and know I adore this stuff <3 )
San Telmo..momentky z ulice.. ta hradba s motorkou stojící před ní obklopuje dvůr toho starého domu, ten trh dole je pouze začátek velice dlooouhé ulice se stánky.. (ano, Sebastian mi sem vzal dobrovolně, protože mu na mě záleží a ví, že tyhle věci zbožňuju <3 ) 


The courtyard with the audience enjoying // the yard with other house in the corner // the side wall of the main building // the view from the courtyard..
Nádvoří s užívajícími si diváky // dvůr s dalším domem v rohu // postranní stěna hlavního obydlí // pohled z nádvoří..


You can see almost everybody´s drinking mate..the atmosphere were very freindly and free.. the picture of the cock and the other redish symbol are a signs of s special religion "Gauchito Gil" getting many people lately.. I do not remember much now but sound rather crazy.. :-o
Můžete vidět skoro všechny pít mate..atmosféra byla přátelská a volná..ten obrázek kohouta s dalším symbolem dočervena vedle jsou znaky speciálního náboženství "Gauchito Gil", které v poslední době získává mnoho příznivců.. moc si toho nepamatuji, ale znělo to dost šíleně.. :-o

 Why San Telmo has its name? Yes, there was some saint guy again.. :-D ..visiting the church San Telmo, many drawings of the pope in the Argentinian style "fileteado" (does it look so terribly only to me? :-o ..and usually I love fileteado.. ) ..and yes Sebastian boycotted the visit a bit and was afraid he would burn in the infernal flame :-D
Proč se San Telmo jmenuje San Telmo? Jo jo, byl v tom zase nějaký svatý..:-D ..navštívili jsme kostel San Telmo, s mnoha malbami papeže v argentinském stylu "fileteado" (vypadá to tak příšerně jen pro mě? :-o ..a to normálně fileteado miluji..) ..ano a Sebastian prohlídku trošku bojkotoval a bál se že ho seženhe plamen pekelný :-D

The church was beautiful.. and finally Sebastian couldnt deny his musician soul and at least adore the huge organ there.. ;) 
Kostel byl krásný..a Sebastian nakonec nemohl popřít svou duši muzikanta a přinejmenším obdivovat obrovské varhany.. ;)

We dicoverd this special stone of Argentina here! I havent checked what is really is but in this colours it exist only in one place in Argentina..cool, eh? I guess I could do with some jewellery out of it. ;) ..// passage of an old hotel // window screen of some antique shop - it just caught my eyes..
Našli jsme tu tenhle speciální kamen z Argentiny! Nekoukala jsem ještě, co to doopravdy je, ale v téhle barvě se vyskytuje pouze na jednom místě v Argentině.. dost dobrý, ne? Hádám, že bych mohla mít pár šperků s tímhle kamenem ;).. // pasáž starého hotelu // výloha nějakého starožitného obchodu - prostě mi zaujala..

Lazybones or a concept fighter? .. Lenoch nebo bojovník s koncety?

EN

You probably think "whats the deep idea today..?!!" And yes, there it is. As many of you know I´m lately being spoiled and having amazing relax conditions. Having time for myself. And before I start to write anything else I want to write down that I´m very thankful and happy for it. Sincerely.
The idea has been to settle down and get used to a new place. Slowly it looks like I have had enough time for that. The other idea has been (yes there is more of them) to concentrate more to myself. To discover what are my capabilities, powers.. what I want. And as well to see the situation I´m in. What is possible? What is worth it to put ones energy into? And here its getting complicated. I do not know.
How is it possible? I thought I have made at least some of those points clear. Yet it seems it is not so simple and the process is beginning again. And it takes time. Have you ever been thinking what you really want in your life? I mean REALLY thinking about it. For sure you have. So you know how wast is the range of possibilities we hold in our hands. Add to this my zodiac sign is balance. Hihi. Going deeper - why I think I want THIS? Is it because I really enjoy it so much or do I think I SHOULD want it?..because it can theoreticaly be meaningful or it brings me joy? Ohh..and am I aloud to be happy? Selfishly just me? Shouldn´t I rather look at all the beings around me and take care of them? I am a woman after all this is what woman do. Is it? Why do I think so? What is a real woman like? ... see?? I told you it got compicated.
This is filling my head lately. I´m as well very thankful to my friend Anna for our long talks. She ever managa to touch something very important deep inside me. One of the wisest woman I have ever know.
Nevertheless there is a few facts clear. At least. I have the best partner I have ever had on my side. I have time to meditate. I like Buenos Aires pretty much. I ejoy the sangha friends here. I love my family and miss them (including my closest friends). I love to drive moto (even in the back position). I love food. I love spending time with friends.
How to end up? Considering the title.. so what?! I dare say "everything at once" (and its not only an easy way how to get out of this tricky question). A concept fighter, sometimes lazy, sometimes full of power..and as you know "the activity brings the activity" which fits more less with the word "power" too.. I myself wonder how this all going to continue..
Tell me your experience? Your opinion? Advice? I´m truly keen to hear some.. :-)
