SAN FRANCISCO

Nocturne & Chinatow© by Toni Romero 1996

My first scale was in San Francisco, the city together with N.Y. with more tolerance of the whole country. The picture that heads this page is my first vision nothing else to arrive at the hotel Anna.
You can find of everything in San Francisco, material photographic clothes, music, dance rooms to the purest European pleasure. The port I find a marvel, to eat boiled crab, to leave to fish the salmon, to observe the colony of marine lions that you/they inhabit among the ships, to visit a submarine of the II World War and of course go to see the island of Pelican , old prison.
Pass the one Golden Gate to go to Sausalito, a town of the most curious thing, and eat some spaguettis sapore I gave mare in one of the Italian restaurants of the area.
Chinatown is separated a world, I became crazy with this piece of China installed in another continent. The fishmarkets are of the more ones curious, alive fish, turtles and until armadillos you will find in the counter. The stores of more senseless objects, the version completely at 100, they will make your delights in this neighborhood. A wonderful city that he/she stopped me with many desires to return.


Panoramic of Yosemite © by Toni Romero 1996

The National Park of Yosemite it is visit forced on the way toward Nevada. Of dimensions enormous in comparison to those of our country, they would be necessary several days to be able to travel him in their entirety. Those bears continue being a real danger in this area, the papeleras and containers of garbage they have a system of security so that they cannot consent to their interior.
The Captain with their 914 m. it is the biggest cliff in the world, they visit him climbers of all parts although it is not always allowed to conquer. The waterfalls of Yosemite of 700m of height they are from any angle or hour of the one day of a nonpareil beauty.
The redwood is the tree but representative of the park. Grizzly Giant it is the most veteran of all them, he/she is 2700 years old.

NEVADA

Hotel Luxor & Treasure Island © by Toni Romero 1996

I of adult will live in The Vegas, the city nonsense more fantastic of the world, where everything is guided to the lúdico. The dream of the American gigantismo, everything is cheap, giant, luminous and of cardboard stone. I lodged in the pyramid ( hotel Luxor ) in whose interior exists a small city. The rooms are located in those sides of the pyramid, in their base a cinema extends Imax, a room 3-d, several restaurants and machines of Virtual - Reality.

For under a hectare of casino extends. This assembly only belongs to this hotel, the Luxor.
Treasure Island, another of the hotels of The Vegas, has 3000 rooms and in the facade a reconstruction of the novel of Stivenson with two ships of three sticks to natural size. Every night, every two hours, there is a battle naval in the one that the two ships are sunken to gunshots, the pirates they fall of the jarcias and part of the decorations they are grass of the flames.
The buffet of the Cesar Palace is worthy of the Roman emperors, for 11 $ you will eat dishes (to the American style) as lobster and exquisite fillets.
The commercial galleries are giant, imagine a store of slippers sport of 800m2 where you can find the last model of NIKE OR ADIDAS. In the center a source robotizada with the god Baco is activated every hour offering an audiovisual show.
Let us don't deceive ourselves The Vegas he/she is the paradise of the kitch and the bumpkin, but he/she has a charm as few cities.

 

During my stay it acted: Tom Jones, The Platters, David Copperfield, Engelbert Humperdinck, Paul Anka, Manhatan Transfer, Julio Iglesias (to the one that I hate especially) and a called curious couple Sigfried & Roy with a show of albino tigers . Ah! Visit Calico, a small town located near the Vegas.

Prey Hubert & Big Canyon © by Toni Romero 1996


The Great Canyon has a longitude of about 500Km of long for about 120 Kms wide. This means that it is not a place two to be days. He/she reserves natural, their access can only be for earth with mules and for the river in rafting. It has been prohibited to fly in their interior due to the accidents. The river Colorado that there is erosionado this Canyon during thousands of years he/she stopped when building the Prey Huber, the second more long of the world (after Assuan). it is the reason that the color of the river doesn't make honor to its name, since the silt is retained in their step by the prey.
The residents originales,los Indian Navajos , they are the only ones that live permanently in the Canyon. I Recommend a musician native call:
R. CARLOS NAKAI. Data for their acquisition.

Buy a hunter of dreams, this native utensil he/she has the property of hunting all the bad dreams, it doesn't work very well in my case but it is a beautiful object.


 

L.A.

M.J. & L.A. people© by Toni Romero 1996

Los Angeles is not my city, 3000 Km. of freeway, 100 Km. of long, he/she can to be really dangerous. My friend Toni Chicarelli works in the studies, it took me from spree to Newport Beach, their neighborhood. Surferos, the culture of the beach. The vision of these against the bottom of the marine towers of perforation of petroleum, sincerely, one produced me sensation of anxiety difficult to describe. To me, as it dislikes me to all diver, the presence of these steel masses. But the area is a great bag of petroleum, reason why neither it is of missing to see a bomb among the low house of the beach rotating and rotating. The vicinity of the Base of Missiles of Rockwel with their armament nuclear, neither he/she makes of these places one of those that would return to to visit.

The fear to the police is another of the things that more it impacted me. My friend's sister spent of long the drugstore when seeing a car it patrols parked before.
I thought: what luck we have in Spain, here it is not this way.
It would not be exactly to say that L.A. he/she doesn't have interesting things, The Universal Studies , Holliwod, Rodeo Drive, the theaters, Beverly Hills and some neighborhoods.


LOUISIANA

NEW ORLEANS

The state of Lousiana, the south, the Jazz, Afro-American, the plantations, in short that that the wind you takes. All that is condensed in New Orleans. The most delicious city, Bourbon streed, claqué, more jazz, him Mardi Gras , vudú, and the swamps.
To visit the swamps and to fish the fish cat, to hunt lizards. A fan of sew divine whenever I/you are not happened to visit the plantations", only for tourists. New Orleans is frank port, photographic material, videotape, to similar prices to our Islands Canarias.
The zoo Audubon and the one Aquarius of the America , they are not in that advised by the guides currents. My pictures of penguins under the water made them here, three hours of fish from all over the world more the area dedicated to the river Mississippi with lizards (crocodiles) of 2,5 m. Fish of 50kg. with one scenery worthy of the uncle's Cabin Tom.
In bourbon streed you buy a " hurricane ", a beverage of alcohol and juice of fruits, go for a walk and hear from the street the music of the one interior of the bars, is simple: if you like what you hear, he/she enters. Jack Daniels at 2,5 $the first one and free the second. Wonderful.
Visit the French Marquet that there is in the port, paintings, t - shirts, C.D.s, antiques. The Brown du Hulls with its famous rosquillas, and prove, it would be a sin that doesn't prove the Gumbo (a delicious soup), jewel of the kitchen cajun.
Lizard, turtle and fish are some of the delights that you can degustar in EDWINAS (504) 633-7881.


In United States they told us when arriving that the norm is:
TOLERANCE = 0. That is to say, if you don't pay your taxes you go to the jail; if you drive drunkard, you go to the jail; if you possess drugs, you go to the jail. The half term doesn't exist, evidently in some more states and in other less ones. My impression is that it is a great one country and with a character very different to ours. To the minimum one possibility that has of returning, will make it; I would love to live a season in San Francisco.
