Thanks for that. I managed to book at the Airport.
I’ll have a lot of luggage with me (must learn to travel lighter) so I don’t want to go in Paris – I’ll keep the references for the future.
:) Love

it s the first time i write.i thik that For every action there is reaction. that man has acted in inability to use half the material in a world in which, consciously or unconsciously, has not been able to happen, did not find the right tools to build the road, considering its possibilities, perhaps for self-denial or inability to otherwise the world would react to exit from a situation so spiacevole.many have learned to walk, but how many are still children and can not move in this jungle of materiality without end, where there seems to be only questa.L ‘altruism, afectionate, l aid brotherhood, values that are put into the background, but who help make it strong in you that the gifts of hope and fill those little things the receive.these strengthen the man and fill the hearts of affection so no more will gestures of despair. 4giugno2009
Teenage encounters with adult males: Creepy Come Ons http://bit.ly/f7Hn6
Hi to everybody. I want to share about my feelings today. I m dancer and teacher of dance and i m 19.
I think that lots of people should be taught how to love each other. Because, unfortunatlly, they dont know. I dnt mean when they say each other i love you and this is not true, yes, this is truth, but, what happened after some time or years, where does love dissapear? I consider that LOVE is ART. And we all should realise this. Passion is good but after time it goes. Because we get used to each other, we suppose that we know this or that person as well as possible and ther is nothing to investigate in him or her. But this is not true, we are all like rivers, we cant be the same even after tomrrow, we are changing, but by the way our creature doesnt change. This is difficult to undrstnd, but think , you have yourself , your soul, you accept yourself but tmorrow you will be not the same on part but somewhere deep you are the same. So, please, if you have your fiance try to look at him or her with new eyes, everyday, like from first sight. It can help. Checked by my realtionship. Thats all for today. SEE U>
I was going to have a stop over in Paris in a couple of weeks.
I wanted to stay at the Airport because of my luggages and the fact that I still be recovering from a long flight.
I was told by the travel agent that the Paris Air show was on and prices at Airport Hotels were soaring.
I don’t believe that is right that prices can change whenever there is an event.
Quotes I was given were ridiculous – up to Euros 500 – close to a $1,000 dollars for one night.Enough to send me bankrupt….
Can anyone help me please? I’ll be grateful.
Thank you.
Love
Marie-Christine
Dear Marie-Christine,
why don’t you check http://www.booking.com and put Charles De Gaule airport in search and your dates….
With loving kindness,

U.Sidharth-
Hum! the pictures are a contrast.
I still don’t think it excuses the fact that half of the prisoners were taken without having committed anything, and subjected to torture for no reason.
That’s unforgettable.
I hope something can be done about the other people too.
I like the way you put it all together.Thank you.
The picture of the man sitting in a glass bowl, just shows us how little we know and how small we are.
I had a similar “cartoon” like made by a man who was very talented.
He had a picture of the world with the place I was living at the time, showing us how insignificant we are.just a little fish in a big pond.
We need to open our eyes to the Big picture.
Love
Marie-Christine :)
My intention was just to show that in a rich country such as the USA, even the prisoners are treated better than a law abiding citizen in a developing country.
The contrast in the picture was just too much for me to bear, especially when I walk past such poor people everyday. Its very irksome, but I try to do my bit by being an honest citizen. I hope the system will work itself out in the end.
Peace
UNA MENTE ILUSA…
¿Qué es una mente ilusa?
Tal vez sea una mente que contradictoriamente cree tener una ilusión en su interior o más de una y vive con ella, mientras, por el exterior, parcial o totalmente cree tener los pies sobre la tierra…
Una mente ilusa es la que se petrifica observando el reflejo gris, inconteniblemente hermoso e incoloro de la calle mojada; sueña y se da cuenta que sí existe, sólo bajo la sombra rodeada de oscuridad urbanamente incompleta y cada cuando un fenómeno le envuelve de niebla.
Una mente ilusa nace para estar sola, incluso cuando el sarcástico destino desata las implacables fuerzas de la naturaleza que vanamente le quieren convencer de lo contrario, con la única, simple y afanosa intención de retar la débil estructura que la sostiene…
No combina con nada ni con nadie. Es tan autocompasiva y teóricamente autosuficiente al tiempo; y sueña, y lucha y se mantiene pero no difiere, a veces hasta es influenciada y peligrosamente arrastrada por el exterior al que naturalmente tanto odia.
El mayor problema que enfrenta una mente ilusa es el hecho de ser peligrosa para cualquier otro ser, o indefensa y estúpida si se le ve del punto de vista contrario. Una mente ilusa siempre se ve en tercera persona, no puede evitar ser, en el lado positivo de la maníaco-depresión, amable, sugestiva y hasta un tanto complaciente; se sostiene para ello de las mismas expectativas que sabe que domina, de las mismas artes, tópicos y ciencias que siempre ha conocido pero que no siempre (hasta muy pocas veces) ha utilizado para su propia sugestión…
Divaga, se pierde en el tiempo sin importar (al menos mayoritariamente) lo que suceda a su alrededor, o lo que su alrededor piense de ella… observa y a veces es demasiado contemplativa con sus pasiones (cuando logra definir más de alguna en particular, sin que haya algún intermediario), hasta que el necio camino de la vida irrumpe repentinamente nuevamente para sugerirle otros senderos que si bien son menos solitarios y claros, también están mayormente asegurados al ambiente siempre desastroso y despreciable.
Mas en medio de este caos y la externa lucha de tres bandos, su exterior, su interior y el exterior ajeno, logra valorar inmensamente la infinita belleza que el mundo alberga; y este es su consuelo más atesorado, el único bien del que es dueña y está segura de ello, su poder, su capacidad, su habilidad sobrenatural de descubrir, acoger, contemplar y apreciar la belleza. ¿De qué sirve un mundo sin su belleza? Cada día descubre una nueva forma de vida; es tan egoísta que se atreve a mantenerla en secreto. Pero, como siempre, sus infortunadamente heredados caracteres genéticos humanos le hacen ser, sin siquiera notarlo, víctima del laberinto subterráneo del que no sabe satisfactoriamente el camino.
Es la segunda vez que escribo en su blog espero que esta vez lea mi mensaje

(um excerto da minha prosa poética)
Sagração do Dia
há dez anos que Clarêncio toca o sino da alvorada. todos os dias. às seis da manhã. em ponto. o eco das badaladas dá início às revoadas. a aldeia recebe o novo dia. prepara a lavoura. entre o cintilar das estrelas e os primeiros laivos de sol. ainda a vida se estende ao borralho e já Clarêncio sente o orvalho. adianta-se ao amanhecer. dá de comer aos cães. deixa as ovelhas no pasto. e segue para a aldeia. seguro do caminho. ciente da responsabilidade. do seu encargo. todos os dias. transporta uma pequena bolsa de linho. percorre os campos. entra no adro da igreja. sobe a escadaria que dá para a torre. e anuncia o dia. há dez anos que Clariana o espera ao pequeno-almoço. ansiosa pela doçura que o linho encobre.
Успех – это не конец,
поражение – не смерть,
мужество встать и продолжить, вот что имеет значение.
Я восхищаюсь Вами Пауло. и очень хотела бы пройти с Вами Путем Саньтьяго. когда, я добьюсь поставленной перед собой сейчас цели, я сделаю все возможное, что бы побывать там где были вы.
That’s a nice song Alex.
I would like to share something i’ve written. It’s also something that i’ve just started sharing with the world, i finally feel able to take the leap of faith that i’m good enough to stand up and be counted amongst my peers!
This is an excerpt from my blog about President Obama, the night he was elected. It might not make much sense as i was full of things to say and i couldn’t get them all out fast enough! But i feel that this is an important time for us all, and i reflected.
“The human spirit is undefeatable. All through history, we humans have survived bad times. Personally and on larger scales. That is why i love and hate humanity. We put ourselves in horrible positions, only to then prove to ourselves the strength and courage to remove ourselves from the bad! We do it to ourselves. And we fix it. Time and time again. Im so thankful that this is my time. Im on the ‘puttin it right’ team!”
Love and Light
