El día que me llegó una carta de Obama

Y es que esta mañana, cuando he hecho el chequeo habitual del correo, por si alguno de mis seres queridos decidía hacer mi día más ameno enviándome una cartita o postal (no pierdo la esperanza) me sorprende, junto a mi habitual revista del New Yorker, un sobrecito dirigido a mí, escrito a ordenador y cuando miro el remitente... Barak Obama! 

Ya sabía yo que esto iba del tirón al blog...

Winter at Colgate

No puedo evitar escuchar la canción de "Navidad-Navidad" cada vez que miro por la ventana. Y es que, a 18 de Febrero de 2014, el invierno en este pequeño pueblo del norte del estado de Nueva York experimenta el invierno en todo su apogeo.

Guggenheim - NYC

La semana que nos dieron de vacaciones por el día de Acción de Gracias, del que ya haré alguna entrada comentando en qué consiste, la aprovechamos para hacer una visita a un familiar muy querido que tengo en Trinidad y Tobago (mi primo Pedro).
Con el objetivo de llegar hasta allí tuvimos antes que pasar por la ciudad de Nueva York, aprovechando esta visita para pasar por uno de mis rincones favoritos de la gran ciudad; el Museo Salomon R. Guggenheim.

Lunching at Colgate University

Cooking and relaxing... oh... wait

One of the payment ways contemplated in our contract with Colgate, besides from our monthly salary and our rental, comes from the so called "Colgate Meal Card", a piece of plastic with a $1000 balance per semester which allows us to have different meals in the various food places of the Campus. Today's post aims to share our adventurous meals at Frank Dinning hall, one of those indicated food places characterized by it's hazardous ingredients combinations that, to our poor european stomachs is usually a bit too much.

Keck Centre - Language area

After two months working at Coglate University we can say that our offices have been officially dedicated (or, re-dedicated, as said) Due to some reconstructions the office where we are working has been re-opened publicly as the new language hub at Colgate Campus in Hamilton.

Y es que la estación más característica del Estado de Nueva York ya ha tenido su momento de apogeo y poco a poco nos abandona. He aprovechado que esta semana he tenido un poco menos de trabajo para hacer algunas fotografías del campus para compartir con vosotros los colores de esta señalada estación.

Between Queens and Manhattan

Working at Colgate University is giving me the opportunity to make some small traveling around NY State in which, undoubtedly, my very first target has been New York City.

As well known as "The Big Apple" or just "The City" this destination has everything to offer, whatever your needs are, there will always be something you will find extremely interesting to do in one of the most multicultural areas of the world. 

Since my most tangible hobby, so far, is architecture, I took this wonderful chance to visit, among other masterpieces, Louis Kahn's Four Freedoms Park, located in between Queens and Manhattan.

Therefore, the aim of today's post is to share with my dear readers how me and my wonderful companion found the best way to get to the park and how we perceive it. If you had enough reading just let me know that it is definitely worth to visit.
