July 26: Amor





I'm counting today as the day I officially fell in love with Santiago.

These were some of my favorite things about her today- almost like a "To think that I saw it on Mulberry Street"

The cold of the morning in half light
A metro cop greeting every single person who walked by "BuenosdiasBuenosDiasBuenosDias"
Besitos
Vibrant sculptures
Graffiti-especially the political
A Marching band of soldiers playing for the Prime Minister of Dubai
Colonial architecture
A random Alhambra Museum with Arabic patterns
The press of people on the metro and buses
Jazz/Chamber Music concerts
-Mural/Weaving/Modern dance workshops
Sopaipillas-fried dough with squash
Grape fruit juice freshly squeezed by a Peruvian immigrant
Gypsies begging for money
Mullets and dreadlocks
People wandering the streets playing the guitar as they walked
Dogs everywhere
Busy streets
Cathedrals
Marionettes
Cafes and glistening postres
Mountains and sky
Mercado Santa Lucia
Gelato- rosa y lucuma
Cute backstreets filled with outdoor restaurants
Parks and green in the midst of caos
Vistas out over miles of habitation
A flute and guitar duo on the bus
Reggaeton
Pet stores filled with baby daschunds
Tons of old VW bugs
Beautiful Gardens
