La Fuente ... Historic Centre of ! That's right, today I have news Fantabulous several beloved children of the Historical Center.
But first, I wanted to tell a little story that I think would interest them enough.
This weekend came a U.S. journalist working for the consortium of the BBC to do some reporting on various issues in Guatemala. The thing is that Jean-Marie Simon , the renowned American photographer whose iconic book Guatemala: Eternal Spring Eternal Tyranny , chillingly documenting the years of armed conflict, recommended to stay in Zone 1, of which she is a fan and enjoy visiting whenever he comes.
View of The Sixth order not to make a long story short, the man came to be in zone 1, but walked super paranoid that on the way here, the taxi driver came recommending to stay better in a hotel in Zone 10, Zone 1 because it was too dangerous (in case you do not know, many taxi drivers receive commissions from the hotels to take them clients, it is common practice). Moreover, friends who live in Zone 10 also told him he was crazy to come to get to this area looked like "war zone."
Still, the foreign journalist decided to stay at the hotel who recommended Jean-Marie, the Quality Hotel , but was terribly nervous. Given as between laughter and tenderness, really. By the way - parentheses - pasadita shop I recommend the blog of Jean-Marie, Eternal Spring, Eternal Tyranny for your interesting photographs. Total
, accompany you to eat at Arrival and How and that Sunday was packed with marimba, and a large Indian family he was celebrating his Grandma's birthday in the next table. It was a beautiful scene, generations of the same family, singing and celebrating with Grandma, something very Latin and pleasant to watch. With all this food and delis, the man in seventh heaven. "This is not what we see in America!" repeated. We will see several places in the area 1 and he was still very nervous.
By Monday, we left to fend for that too! Is assumed to have been well documented and political crises the world is not like for one you walk in holding hands Do not you think? Then that night we said very excited that he wanted to stay longer in Guatemala, that the Historic Center at makes you feel full of vigor and enthusiasm. Moreover, he said he felt much more secure in the City of Mexico , and people here are very friendly.
buying sweets My point is this: Who advised him to stay at the Center and enjoy it are foreigners who know and love the center and who will NO recommended that stay at the Center are chapines that as they themselves say, NEVER come to the center. Do you realize how far many member of our fellow citizens what we despise? Espremos changes occur soon in the sad mentality of contempt for what is ours.
course, the journalist had asked me if "safe" to stay in zone 1 and I told him is not safe to stay on either side of Guatemala today, sadly, but not only is not least sure the zone 10, but as in every city in the world, there are in all areas some streets more dangerous than others and find common sense is what they are and take precautions. That is something that of course, we also recommend to you.
The Police Palace Yet another side of the coin is that cultural management courses offered by Urban Development and Cultural Center of Spain, who are given half a block from Cerrito del Carmen, began last weekend. And surprisingly enough, had twice the students that what they had before and many came from other areas: Zone 7, Zone 10, etc.. That despite the Cerrito area still has a bad reputation (the Cerrito is fenced and is now a beautiful park worth a visit and a lot of security with Teoxché and other groups).
The classroom was packed. Many quality artists including university students, housewives, retirees, professionals, all . So if Guatemalans are other areas that will opt to come to the center --- and not necessarily the Paseo de La Sexta - to take classes and meet neighbors in the area.
San Francisco Well, I left with these "new sociology" of the Historical Center . Let
to the beloved children of the Historical Center.
This weekend, two friends went on talentosísimos Magacín . Erick Boror , who although not the historic center makes its work in engraving and printing the fantastic and very renowned Experimental Graphic Workshop. You can read that article by clicking here .
And the beloved son of Historical Center, Alejandro Arriaza, songwriter who lives wandering the streets and cafes of center and who will present his new album, Argonauta . Let me share some information about this new musical production that is so special .
Astronaut Alejandro Arriaza In it, twelve songs explore the nightlife zone 1 of Guatemala City. Bars, characters, experiences, joys, sadness, loneliness and revelry, explored issues that deviate from the style of singer-songwriters, closer to the trova, and explore the blues, rock and folk. Several songs are about the magic, the lights and shadows of the night life in Guatemala.
The album will be presented in concert on Friday November 12, 2010, at 6:30 pm in the National Palace of Culture . For more information on Alexander and read the extensive report that was written about, please click here .
Reading Under One note: There many beloved daughters of Historical Center. Short sample, the veteran poet Isabel de los Angeles Ruano and avant-garde poet Vania Vargas, among many others women. Indeed, two recent books are available at a good price at the bookstore inside La Casa de Cervantes House.
Anyway, I've been seeing a lot published about the little boys of Historical Center, and it makes me happy so, but take note that women are the 0tro 50% of humanity and with as many achievements as our fellow men and the accomplishments achieved against more obstacles yet. I would like to see more female artists in the publications of the Centre ...
addition to its beautiful people and talented, the Historical Center has a good drinker. The Journal D published an interesting (though not really great but at least if useful) article on the little bars of Historical Center, which you can read by clicking here .
is also important to know that worthy of a good city, we have a good symphony orchestra which birthday these days, and a good ballet. About this Oswaldo Hernandez, OTHER worthy son of Historical Center, wrote an article that can be read in Magacín too. For some reason, the system is allowing me to link that article!
San Francisco Places where I've eaten recently: House Coffee, Chocolate Coffee and Jack's Place . One of you complained one day here in Chocolate Café so I decided return to see what happens. I told them of the complaint, of course. Anyway, I still like Chocolate Café Coffee House, for now, it has more range. Jack's Place is nice and has a variety of coffees with liqueur. They enjoyed an afternoon coffee with Max Araujo , but talking to Max one having a good time anywhere. I feel that put the music too loud too soon. Very tough for coffee and not enough to be disco. Chub service slow, but overall, not bad. I followed Arrival and How and there's always a good and as well.
