O Projecto do Museu da Liberdade e da Resistência em Peniche

Although I have been very daring in many things, I have never had the courage to face face to face with an antiriot and I have to admit that the mere fact of seeing one of these individuals armed with all their clothing and weapons gives me physiological reactions that recommend me not to interfere too much in protests and demonstrations that could turn violent. I own up it.

We will always have Oslo

The columnist writes that the army seldom takes sides with democracy. Genetic issue He is also right when he says that the multitude, sooner or later, returns to his home, and I agree with him that where the crowd can be most effective is when deployed tactically against a specific, winnable goal.

Too big for his britches

What they could not take away from me in that fucking institution were the two drops of ingenuousness with which my mother bored me. Although, thinking about it, those two drops would come in the 'information' that my father had to contribute for me to present myself in this world. Because of them two, I have no doubt that my father was the most naïve. That's what I realized over the years.

A trip to La Puebla de los Infantes
    Last weekend I drove my lady to La Puebla de los Infantes.
    She had planned to meet with her cousins whom she had not seen since her aunt's funeral. So, after greeting her family members, I settled on with her to eat and in that way let them talk in privacy and I had time to take some pictures of the town.

Prisioner nº 32269 

In O Martírio de Ravensbrück, José Milhazes stops to give an account of the characteristics of this German concentration / extermination camp. Located 90 kilometres north of Berlin, Leida had the 'privilege' of being the first of a list of Estonian inmates who - heaped in a cattle train - travelled for seven days to the terrible scene of stinking crimes.

Moroccan women in the strawberry fields

     It is born from a humble plant that you have to help to get up by putting some suspenders —at least that's how dad used to grow them in the sunniest corner of our farm— to take a little height and ventilate its tendrils and leaves. It is a delicious food.
