The City of Light... Paris!

Before I came here many people told me that Paris was the best city they ever been (including my girlfriend), so thas why I decided to stay 4 days instead of 2 in order to get to know as much as I can.

The first day we went to take a walk around Paris and we visit the Eiffel Tower, the Arc the Triomphe, the cathedral Notre Dame and the Champs-Elysées.

The second day we went only to the Chateau de Versailles and to the gardens of that place, maybe you can remember this palace by the film "The Man in the Iron Mask", this was were the film took place.

By the third day we went to the Louvre museum to see many paintings and sculptures, including the "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo Da Vinci and the Venus di Milo statue, and after that we went to the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur.

The last day, we went to the Place de la Concorde, were is the Egyptian obelisk, Paris's oldest monument, and after that we went to see the tumb of Napoleon, but at they were closed and I didn't make it.

I mean, 4 days and I did not have the chance to cover all! Paris is really something in tourism, and is also very beautiful, I do not regreat spending 4 days in this city, I would spend an entire week in there!

Anyway, this was my last trip in Europe, because this weekend I have to go back to my country, to my MEXICO. In one part i'm very excitied of returning, but in the other hand I really want to stay and discover more and more things. I hope that I can have the chance to came back to Europe in the next few years in order to study a master, and then visit the cities that I left: Amsterdam, Normandy, Berlin, Prague, Brujas and other cities and coutries from the east Europe.

But, I least I can say that I have improved my English (at least, I think so) and I have travel around Europe.

In the Seventh Heaven: Manchester Utd.

FANTASTIC!

Yesterday I saw the game of the Manchester United against Roma, who came with a certain advantage in the global score 2 - 1 from Rome, but now that the game was going to be in the Old Trafford it all seems that the game was going to be closed, with the Roma playing in the defence waiting for a chance to strike and score a goal that gave them an advantage... but the history was another.

Since the first minute, all the players of Manchester went to the front, trying to score since the first minute in order to have the control of the game... and they did it! With a magnificant play of Cristiano Ronaldo, Garrick got the ball a little bit outside of the area and made a perfect shoot, leaving with out chance to the Roma's goalkeeper and decret the 1 - 0.

After that, the second goal was even better, with the motivation in their side, the players of Manchester start to play more relax and with 5 consecutive passes between the team, they reach to the Rome's field and score a beautiful goal, after 1 or 2 minutes, Rooney scores the 3 - 0 and after that, all seems lost for Roma.

The final score of the match was 7 - 1, it was the best match of the Manchester United in the Champions League ever, and the score will be in the memory of all the fans that went to the stadium, and for all those fan that stayed outside (like me) to support the team in the TV.

Excellent game for United... time to make some changes in Roma.

Edinburgh: the Athens of the North

Edinburgh, it really is the Athens of the North of Europe, mainly because it has a place called Calton Hill were is a few structures very similar to the Athenian Acropolis, and is very beautiful, which it has an excellent view of the city and to the sea.

It also has a castle named The Castle of Edinburgh (very creative, uh!), but it's very interesting because for many years, English and Scotish people had fought for the control of this castle, in the time of kings and "dragons", it means a long long time ago, but now is only a museum.

Near to this amazing city is the international Loch Ness, mostly known by the monster that has appered several times in the past... the name of this monster is Nessie, and it has a lot of histories and legends.

What really impressed me, is the number of sheeps that are in this country, I mean, it really really have a lot of them!!!, every part that I turn, there's at least 20 sheeps (well, maybe not that much jajaja).

Another place very interesting is the Arthur's Seat, that is not really a seat were you can sit, it's a hill, a very big hill, were you can see all the city, it's very beautiful.

Well, in resume, Scotland was a country that I really want to knew since the movie "Braveheart", starring Mel Gibson, but not only for the story, also for the places, the green areas (and I mean, really BIG GREEN AREAS), and for the castles.

I hope that in the future I have another opportunity to come back and see much more.

Ole Barcelona!

This weekend in Barcelona was very relax, because I didn't take any tours, but I have the oportunity to see the universities were I want to do a master in marketing, and also to visit the Nou Camp Stadium, which is the home field of FC Barcelona.

The most impressive thing that happend to me this weekend was that I had the opportunity to see a match of Barcelona against Deportivo La Coruna, and perhaps "Rafa Marquez" did not play (He's a mexican player), just by seeing Ronaldinho in the field, doing all the moves and passes to goal, was incredible.

After I planned my trip to Barcelona, I search in the web page of this team to see if there was any available ticket, sadly there wasn't, but when I arrive to the stadium to take pictures, a man came to me and sold me a ticket, of course that it was fake, BUT it was a risk that I was willing to take and I was lucky because they let me in!

But the city itself is very beautiful, and if you want to move around the city by Metro is really easy and also very cheap.

I recomend also to visit "La Sagrada Familia", is a temple design by Antoni Gaude and the monument to Cristobal Colon, the man who discover America, that is near to the port.
