Neuquén, Argentina

I will be brief. As much as my passing through this city. Neuquén is the capital of Argentina's Neuquen Province, and the largest city in Patagonia. Traveling by bus is about 6 hours from San Martin de los Andes, Mendoza, 10, being half way between each city, more or less at the height of Temuco in Chile. Founded in 1904, is home to many businesses and its economy is essentially fruit and oil. 70 million years ago, dinosaurs were walking around here like he owned the place, like nowhere else in the world. The bus terminal is 40 blocks from downtown. Take a bus and get off at the plaza. After visiting the new and worthy National Museum of Fine Arts, we were ready to go.

This photo realizes what greener than we saw in Neuquén. It's a dry town in the middle of Patagonia. Plaza to the Report, Life and Commitment. On the plate reads: "This is a tribute Neuquén People's victims, a repudiation of the dictatorship, we assume speak without euphemisms absurd, as in Chile and impunity, and a commitment to democracy , truth and justice ".

Argentina Avenue, the city's commercial center and a plaza with the necessary monument to San Martín, the famous Liberator, omnipresent in the Argentine cities.

Walking up Avenida Argentina until the final pass swiftly -25 minutes from downtown-the tourist map captive promised three landmarks: the Plaza de las Banderas, the Christ, and a stunning viewpoint. The real tourist should be prepared to encounter anything. Not everything has to be white sandy beaches, surfing daikiri and banana. It is noted that this city are pumping money to become in the near future hopefully, in a attractive tourist destination. Well, this is the view of Neuquén from the famous square-the-only two flags, and left an emaciated stick cristito was sorry.

Egregia a Peladero view from the disappointing "Viewpoint." Clay, graffiti on walls and trash on the highway, Argentina is usually very clean, "I felt at home. After that, it was worth going to a good lunch meat, and mitigate the pain by buying books, which are always a bargain in this country, compared with the theft of Chilean prices. Back to the new and well maintained bus terminal, is not sarcasm, and heading to Mendoza. July 2007.

How Old Is Johnny Maniac

San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

Bariloche is the main winter tourist city that exist in South America. I ended up visiting now, in 2007, then ten years ago, back in 1997, for reasons of force majeure could not be fitted to the "study tour" to my class at school made this beautiful city. Better late than never.

is very close to the Andes, on the southern shore of lake Nahuel Huapi and is surrounded by lush forests of conifers and native trees, mountains and other smaller lakes. The climate is high mountain, and there are well aware, why they cultivate an appearance of Swiss Alps in much of its recent architecture. Not only is this thing look : Since before its founding in 1902, Europeans had already settled in the area, mainly Germans coming from Chile. These became Mapuche territories formerly owned by immigrants and much Caucasian fellow Southerner who came to the city rising in the early twentieth century, as they say in good Chilean looking paste. The subsequent industrialization of the city, especially since the 1920's, where logging was the dominant, this city became increasingly attractive and thriving.

In Cerro Catedral is the largest ski resort in the region. The tracks are of varying difficulty. The day coincided with a day were changing climate, where it snowed, clouded, there was sun and turned to snow.

to the summit of Cerro Otto is accessed by a cable car offering a privileged view of Bariloche, the lake and the snowy mountains. Once up, the view is unbeatable and the wind is powerful.

The city's civic center was built in the 1930's, like other architectural landmarks that have changed the rustic look that boasted Bariloche, with its wooden buildings in southern Chilean style. To the right is the building of the Municipality with its clock tower.

Bariloche This is the hidden, that is not usually scrutinized by the eyes of the visitors. We came across this landscape as if we went up about eight to ten blocks from the same civic center. There are no slums in this city made up mostly of working middle class people. The low proportion of social housing here are some buildings more or less comparable to our old CORVI, far more worthy than what is seen in Chile. In the picture, correspond to these blocks yellow listed to the right.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi.

Finally, in a candy factory. Bariloche's chocolate has legendary status. It's pretty good but not outstanding. Some traditional families have been devoted to chocolateo and import cocoa from Brazil and Colombia, to develop using traditional sweets. July 2007.

Tumbes, Chile

About 8 kilometers away from the port of Talcahuano, in the Bio-Bio Region, is the Caleta Tumbes. This traditional fishing outpost hidden in the northern peninsula of Tumbes, which is almost all the territory administered by the Navy of Chile. A few years ago, Tumbes visit was exclusive of the sailors and Residents of the Naval Base. Luckily, these have been gradually dying out remnants of the dictatorship, and today the site is free access.

A brief review: the area was once inhabited by the Mapuche, until in 1816 he settled a contingent of English families of fishermen, shipbuilders and carpenters from localities of the Basque Country (Bilbao, Santander, San Sebastian). Currently living in Tumbes about 300 families, descendants of these immigrants and dedicated to the business of fishing. Are people friendly and simple.

is reached down a winding and not very well maintained road that winds its way through a wet ravine. Homes Multicolored are simple, mainly wood. Between home and we usually meet purple streets smelling of moss, seafood and wet earth.

As we move away from the street which is the only artery, we see even more simple houses, perched on the coastal rocks, and owned most of the fishermen who rise early to go to the boats to work . Owners of small boats are often other people, with more silver. Quiriquina The island is visible from any point of the cove. We enjoy a small seafood pies at a restaurant where they looked at us strange when we asked if they had any dessert to offer. Breathe deep the air and retired sea where we are. July 2007.

Virtually-jenna Cervix

Sicut erat in principio On May

The XXI century Catholic Church strikes again, and this is how today expect a new and imminent symptom of the systematic destruction of the progressive legacies of the Second Vatican Council. The ultra-conservative and traditionalist twist is the self experiencing Pedro Church is dragged from the beginning of the pontificate of Karol Wojtyla, and its current successor, Joseph Ratzinger, is emerging as an increasingly nineteenth-century figure. murmuring coming from this long ago, but on Saturday 7 July 2007 that Pope Benedict XVI came to confirm and give date: the return of the Tridentine Mass , or liturgy in Latin.

allow me a brief review of the matter. The Tridentine Mass takes its name from the Council of Trent (1545-1563), and was structured by the then Pope Pius V as a way to sort and mix the Catholic liturgy, which to date was given in many languages \u200b\u200bas there was in Western regions . From the seventh century and quite upset Latin had given way to several local languages, and a couple of centuries had already passed the sad and dusty catalog of dead languages. However, the Latin Mass is held in many places, partly because it was redactada principalmente en tal glosa. Pío V, en su bula Quo primum tempore estipuló que la misa debía mantenerse absolutamente inalterable, y prohibió que se agregaran nuevas liturgias a la ya existente. Es por eso que la misa "unificada" en latín, en rigor, es un hecho de la edad moderna, y se extendió en tal fecha por el mundo católico, suprimiendo en sus templos los ritos tradicionales en arameo, hebreo, griego o en los más accesibles lenguajes locales. Aquellos pueblos de raigambre indígena, como el "Reyno de Chile", nunca conocieron el latín vivo. El feligrés criollo y común entendía poco y nada de lo que el sacerdote balbuceaba en el púlpito; en parte by the acoustics of the magnificent House of God, and essentially because only children of wealthy families and meager always landowners had access to the teaching of Latin lingua . This situation is repeated all over the globe.

What happened at Vatican II (1962-1965) was revolutionary in a broad sense. With the deletion of the Latin Mass and the homily translated into the language that every nation know from the cradle, the faithful could understand the meaning of the rite, and bring the message to their lives in consciousness, just as he could have done to preach Jesus Mount in Aramaic or maybe in Greek (not Hebrew language in the first century was restricted to the Jewish liturgy.) This innovative step, with clear borders of social change and that was certainly well received in most American Catholics, was soon rejected by the ultra factions of the Church, encouraging even a schism in 1988 with the division of Lefebvre father's supporters, who rejected the church squarely in another language other than that of Virgil. In the XXI century, there are no classes in Latin except in rare cases, and only a handful of men who wear red like the devil, they say, the Cardinals can understand the language fluently.

intention to reverse this action had been brewing for some time, just as was done for almost thirty years with almost everything that Vatican II did. This is how in today signed a pontifex motu proprio, published last Saturday, which authorizes the release of the Tridentine Mass for the restriction of the liturgical reform council post in 1969. Through that apostolic letter establishing the return to the use of the Missal of St. Pius V (revised in 1962) to count from 14 September this year. John Paul II was already showing signs that foretold its return through a document promulgated in 1984, which authorized the celebration of the Latin Mass if this was requested by the faithful of the diocese bishop.

More signs of the same doctrinaire fashion: it is expected that these days is issued a second document confirming the controversial declaration Dominus Iesus 2000. It stated that only the Catholic Church is the Church of Christ. " For Pope B-16, as sure as their predecessors from Pius IX stipulate that it is true that various Christian churches to consider holding the same degree of truth. Caused burning in the orthodox churches, Anglican and Protestant of that year, and will do now. Meanwhile, the priest returns to give the back to the congregation during the homily, and the poor who is a believer of this, the only true church, you can not understand what his pastor says during the Eucharist. For the most critical, already considered fairly vacuous masses, we now look more arcane and less sense to have your assistance.

could stay calm in an attitude of mere observer in front of the Vatican decision. In the final analysis, the issues of management and internal policies are a matter that concerns them only to them, and (perhaps) to the faithful devotees, while those who are not believers should stand aside to say whether they decide celebrate mass in Coptic or Syriac. So why should I care? This measure church, like many others already taken and many more to come, are consistent with the retro wave who commented at the beginning, in which the empire strikes back (We should understand, religion) seeking to recover its traditional image, and the control it once had on society in all areas. After Communion in Latin, the apostles of pelucones will leave their temples to interfere in the private sphere to prevent the issue of condoms on the beach, or contraceptives at clinics, as we have seen. Some notorious of these same characters move their fundamentalism into politics as if they had not realized that church and state as separate entities. Well, I say to them: exaudite beati, Iesus quod ipse dixit, quae sunt Caesaris Caesari redde, et quae sunt Dei Deo!
