Life is everywhere

Plant coming out of concrete underpassEven after people have done their best to tame (enslave?) their environment, life manages nonetheless to pop up in the most unsuspected places. I found this poor little plant growing in a concrete underpass near Barcelona’s container port.

Water flames

Flaming sea at BarcelonaMy first post since I got back to Barcelona. I am a true tourist now. On holiday, visiting this city for the first time in some months, and here only temporarily. I spend my mornings doing paperwork and other “non-leisure” activities, and the afternoons walking around and taking pictures. But I need to hurry and rediscover this city quickly, for I will soon leave for yet somewhere else!

Chocolat chaud au matcha

Chocolat chaud au matchaThis is my last post from Paris! Tomorrow I’ll pack and ship my computer, and I don’t think I’ll be going to an internet café just to update my blog. Today I went to watch “Ice Age 2″, but I arrived to late and there were no seats left. So I had a walk instead. Quartier Montorgueil, Palais Royal, Pont des Arts, Rue de la Seine, Jardin du Luxembourg. Then I realised it had taken me only one hour. I must have walked really fast! This picture is from a Japanese café Iku and I went to last weekend. Tasty mixture of matcha and hot chocolate.

Reading by the Seine

Reader by the SeineToday I got rid of most of my furniture. Julia’s father took that which belonged to her daughter. The neighbour downstairs got a fridge and a bookshelf —we came across her on the stairs and cold-asked her if she wanted it. Some friends will take the remaining stuff on Monday. My living room is full of boxes, and my sleeping room is so empty it makes me sad. No picture of that, it’s too ugly. Instead, feel the moment of utter leisure that this man is enjoying.

La ville de l’amour

Pigeons in love in ParisNow that I’ve finished my PhD, I will soon be leaving Paris, the city where I’ve lived for the last four years, and go back home to Barcelona —although the journey won’t end there. These final days I will be revisiting my old favourite places, drowning in paperwork, having good-bye parties with friends, and posting some “Paris-themed” entries here. Look! The prettiest pigeon in Paris and the ugliest pigeon in Paris have fallen in love!
