<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dejé abandonado este blog por razones personales y me encanta que muchos de ustedes me hayan enviado mensajes durante este tiempo (especialmente durante la época navideña).</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hace unos días recibí un mensaje de un Postcrosser de mi región (Centroamérica) contándome que alguien de un país vecino había copiado el formato de este blog, incluyendo fonts y colores en la traducción. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hoy saqué un momento para revisarlo y ví que también está desactualizado. Aparte de la sorpresa inicial por la falta de creatividad, pensé en aquel adagio que me dijeron tantas veces en mi niñez: </span><br />
<h1 style="background-color: #333333; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 38px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 42px; margin: 24px 0px 12px; text-align: center; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.498039) 0px 1px 12px;">

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Y definitivamente cada cosa mala tiene algo de bueno, con este post retomo mi blog. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Les voy a contar del Volcán Turrialba que no nos da tregua con la ceniza en la capital. Y voy a compartirles fotos de mi bello país.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ojalá mantengamos el contacto con quienes mantuvieron la amistad y ojalá también, otros Postcrossers compartan su día a día en sus hermosos países.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>As I had told before, I live in a tiny paradise, and it includes enjoy fresh fruit all year long. In my backyard my family have some fruit trees. One of them is a guava tree:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Como les he contado antes, vivo en un pequeño paraíso y eso incluye disfrutar de frutas frescas todo el año. En el patio de mi casa tenemos algunos árboles de frutas. Uno de ellos es de guayaba.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Not a real catastrophe...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>In the past days some PC friends asked about the world wide news about the explosion of one costa rican volcano... Well, it is true. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>One volcano woke up nearby, but we already have more active volcanoes around! The news is that over these past days we had lived with ash rain. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Our pets think we love them even more, because we have to clean their paws, brush them and give them clean water after an eruption. Same for us, our eyes and skin hurts a little. When we see the ashes cloud, we suppose not be outside, but sometimes we do not realize the ashes until it is all over us. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Anyway, only people who lives nearby the volcanoe change their routine: no school for kids. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Thank you for your concern and we love our volcanoes!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">No es una emergencia</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">En días anteriores algunos amigos de PC me escribieron preguntando sobre la noticia que dio la vuelta al mundo sobre la erupción de un volcán costarricense. Es cierto.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Un volcán cercano se despertó, pero nosotros vivimos rodeados de volcanes activos. La novedad es que estos últimos días hemos tenido lluvia de cenizas.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Nuestras mascotas creen que las queremos más porque hay que limpiarles las patitas, cepillarlas y darles agua fresca después de cada erupción. También nosotros debemos cuidarnos porque la ceniza arde en los ojos y en la piel. Se supone que no debemos estar a la intemperie durante la lluvia de cenizas, pero a veces no la notamos hasta que es demasiado tarde.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">En todo caso, solo la gente que vive muy cerca del volcán ha cambiado su rutina y sus hijos no tienen que asistir a la escuela.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Gracias por su preocupación... nosotros amamos nuestros volcanes!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The first one has the sensuality and passion of the tango dancers. My grandpa always sang this famous tango: "Caminito". I felt the bandoneon sound and the rhythm in this picture, Tango is love!!</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">La primera tiene la sensualidad y la pasión de los bailarines de tango. Mi abuelo siempre cantaba el famoso tango: "Caminito que el tiempo ha borrado...". Sentí el sonido del bandoneón y el ritmo en esta imagen, el tango es amor !!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The second one is a place that I haven't listened before: Puerto Madero. This PC friend told me that this beautiful place, a pier once, is now a Trade Center with modern buildings, office towers and restaurantes. It has a gorgeous modern bridge called "The woman's bridge", designed by Santiago Calatrava, an Spanish architect. And if all these beauties were not enough, the old boat is now a Museum...</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">La otra tarjeta es un lugar del que no he escuchado antes: Puerto Madero. Esta amiga de PC me dijo que este hermoso lugar, antes un muelle, ahora es un centro de comercio con modernos edificios, torres de oficinas y restaurantes. Cuenta con un magnífico puente moderno llamado "puente de la mujer", diseñado por Santiago Calatrava, un arquitecto español. Y si todas estas bellezas no fueran suficientes, el viejo barco anclado en el puerto es ahora un museo ...</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Feliz año nuevo... en marzo ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A veces pasan cosas, como la vida... ustedes entienden, cuando no tenemos tiempo para hacer ninguna cosa ... Bueno, hoy quise hacer tiempo para escribir aquí.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tengo hermosas tarjetas e historias para compartir, pero por ahora, me gustaría compartir dos cositas. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Primero, esta hermosa tarjeta que vi en la Galería de Postcrossing. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The sencond thing to share is this AMAZING Postcrosser art. I would love to receive some card like those. Go to check it, please: https://instagram.com/orchiddcs/. As I read in her profile, she is a poscrosser from China.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>I love it!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>

<span style="color: red;">Expired postcards</span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">There is nothing more frustrating than an expired postcard!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I had 3 expired postcards from last year and I have been sending messages and more postcards trying to achieve those Postcrossers... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Nada es más frustrante que una tarjeta postal expirada! Tenía 3 postales en ese status desde el año pasado y seguí enviándoles mensajes e incluso otras tarjetas, tratando de tener contacto con estos Postcrossers...</em></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Today I found that one of them is still Postcrossing and he registered my expired card! I am so so happy...<br />If you don´t want/can continue in Postcrossing, please edit your account to INACTIVE STATUS; in that way, your address will be not longer sent to another Postcrosser and we will not have any more expired cards. Thank you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Hoy me enteré de que uno de ellos, todavía participa en Postcrossing y registró mi tarjeta! No puedo estar más feliz...</em></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Si usted no quiere o puede continuar en Postcrossing, por favor edite su cuenta y pásela al estatus de INACTIVO; de esta forma su dirección no será enviada a otro Postcrosser y no tendremos más postales expiradas! Gracias!</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As you may know, Latin America countries love football soccer. Costa Rica is a tiny country. We are 4.500.000 costa rican people and we love football soccer. Our team is not a well prepared one, but it is brave. Today it was our first game: Costa Rica vs. Uruguay. Nobody trusted in our team. Uruguay is the first World Cup Champion and Costa Rica has never goes far than the first round of the competition. But today, something changed. Costa Rica played a wonderful game and we won. It is really important for us. The next games are with Italy and United Kingdom... not easy at all. Nevertheless, today we are proud, happy, and grateful with our players. Go Ticos!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now I want to share with you our commemorative stamps. They are gorgeous.</span><br />

Somos apenas 4.500.000 costarricenses y amamos el futbol. Nuestro equipo no está muy bien preparado, pero es valiente. Hoy fue nuestro primer partido en esta Copa Mundial: Costa Rica - Uruguay. Nadie confiaba en nosotros. Uruguay es el primer campeón mundial de fútbol y Costa Rica nunca ha pasado de la primera eliminatoria. Pero hoy algo cambió. Costa Rica jugó un partido maravilloso y ganamos. Esto es grandioso. Los siguientes partidos son contra Italia e Inglaterra... nada sencillo. Sin embargo, hoy estamos orgullosos, felices y agradecidos con nuestros jugadores. Vamos Ticos.</span></i><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Arial, sans-serif;">La Isla de Mainau se encuentra junto a las orillas del lago de Constanza en Baden-Württemberg, en el extremo sur-oeste de Alemania, cerca de Suiza y Austria. Con cada año recibe más de un millón de visitantes, por lo que se ha convertido en una gran atracción en esta región fronteriza trilateral. Sus sólo 45 hectáreas son el hogar de una extraordinaria diversidad de flores, árboles y arbustos.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Looking at Pinterest, I was amazed by this cute shower curtain. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I decided to share with all of you because my shower has glass doors... no postcard curtain for me! I let the commercial name on the picture because trademarks are awful hunting people who are "stolen" their products... anyway, I like this so much, and the store is so far away from me that it is no sponsoring at all, just like it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Revisando Pinterest encontré esta bellísima cortina de baño. Decidí compartirla con ustedes porque mi baño tiene puertas de vidrio, así que tendré que dejarla pasar. Dejé todas las calidades comerciales en la foto porque las tiendas son terribles cazadores de gente que no indica de quién son sus productos... en fin, me encantó la cortina y si tomamos en cuenta lo lejos que estoy de la tienda, se podrán convencer de que no estoy recibiendo ninguna comisión, sólo me encantó! </i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Some years ago, I got a wonderful birthday present: a book called <span style="line-height: 22.399999618530273px;"><b style="font-style: italic;"><span style="background-color: #674ea7; color: lime;">The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.</span><span style="color: #252525;"><span style="background-color: #674ea7;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;"> I did not put away the book until the end. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">The book is an epistolary novel, a Snail Mail fan bonus!! I've been always amazed of those islands surrounded by foggy and cold weather. I am from a tropical place, so, no cold weather for us!! I loved to read about normal people trying to live their lives during war time. In Costa Rica we don't have an army; war is not a familiar topic between us.

El libro es una novela epistolar... otro regalo para una fanática del correo tradicional. Siempre me han encantado esas islas rodeadas de neblina y con un clima gélido. Soy de un lugar tropical así que por aquí nunca hace frío. Además, me gusta leer sobre gente normal tratanto de vivir sus vidas en tiempos de guerra. En Costa Rica no tenemos ejército, así que la guerra no es un tema propio de nuestra realidad. Después de leer el libro, me dediqué a investigar acerca del lugar, del clima, hasta averigué el costo del tiquete aéreo hasta allá... pero no por ahora...</i><br />
