The Journaling:
I'm quite sure there are more than 100 words, but couldn't find the link to the counting site, will do it tomorrow. Because London is a very well know city, I took it on the part of my history when I did. not choose to live here, but at certain point (many years later) I started to see that , actually, it was written in a destiny line... all these awesome things that the UK has, that had always been HUGe part of my life.
It wasn’t easy, to feel London as my home, our home. The idea had been to stay in Trancoso until Sarita had age for secondary school, but there were other plans in store. I had been coming to London since 89, but it only came to feel home in 2005. Thing is, as strongly as I denied it had been my choice, looking back I was fascinated with so much of this incredible city’s heart…the skyline , the culture starting with Melody the movie, the fashion of Biba
and Carnaby St, Beatles & Rolling Stones, then Rick Wakeman, Yes (Close to the Edge still has printed sound in my soul) Genesis (I would listen to the record of Selling England by the Pound endlessly!) Tubular Bells, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, then The Who blow our minds so much, we need up at the cinema 9 times...then discovering the Phantom & Lloyd Webber., The Victoria & Albert, the Egyptian treasures at the British Museum…later came more of musicals, getting the movies like Hellraiser from Julio Boca when was main cast at the Royal National Ballet and would bring those which were impossible to get in South America...
There is so much more close to us : The new British Library we saw being built from our upstairs windows when Sarita was born, the fabulous St Pancras Hotel.. (in side there is the Potter's 93/4 platform!) the incredible feel of Hampstead Heath, the Camden Markets with the punk people sitting in the bridge over the canal..., the one day a week markets, the local summer festivals….the old age of the city, the history in every corner, the fact that all my friends & family come over and we tour around the not so known sites…and like above, in all it’s
splendour, from the boxes of the wheel of the London Eye, the beauty of the sunsets up in the sky and all the colors in pretty harmony…one can hear the ghosts of the city and it keeps on growing…there is so, so much more…probably would need an entire book Int was written in the stars!
TFL!!!
