NY Memory in a cold afternoon

Dear Friends and readers,

About 15 months ago me and my wife made a trip to the USA with the purpose of attending a very dear friend's weeding, and we took some days more to spend them in New York City. We rented a nice room nearby Riverside Drive, up in the Upper East Manhattan, and took a couple of days to walk by, know the surroundings and really feel the ambiance.

We had a very beautifull moment after crossing the Central Park and entering into the 5th Avenue. Right in front of the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art Staircases, we have testimonied a great male black vocal group playing live on the sidewalk, just scored by an acoustic bass without any amps.

The chilling wind was harsh and temperatures were something aroung -5º Celsius, with the chill of -15º.

The powerfull vocals, the beautifull architecture, the so american sounds from these singers and the great piece of art that is the 5th Avenue and surroundings made feel very nice and really part of the world.

I felt in that moment as if I was part of something, that life was passing by and it seemed that I have found another side of myself in New York City.

I have bought a copy of the cd (I am the brown jacket guy on the left talking to one of the singers), and whenever I hear it at home on weekends I remember being part of the great world and feel gratefull for this great and live experience that I now share with you.

Hope you like it!!

Cheers

Rodrigo

Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen! (Original + English Subtitles)

This is one of the most beutifull videos I've seen that shows and gives us a glance about a sincere and very clear opinion about things that really matter in life.
And that somehow leads us to reflexive moments and experiences I've had travelling abroad, knowing people and feeling the cultural differences, like been in New York and Southern California, or like being in Northeast and South of Brazil, be in Argentina and Brazil, you name it...
This video makes me feel reflexive and good very often.
Hope you like it.
