Wording For Western Party

A flag on an island, a city on the hill and at the airport rocinante

I started well, taking advantage of the break of the weekend, see Letters from Iwo Jima . I was at Christmas, in the Sanabria, seeing the flags of our fathers and wanted to give this. Basically original Japanese version and some English. With two balls. See the war from the other side. That soldier, Saigo, who writes at home knowing he will die. That general, Kuribayasi , who had lived in the United States and came to defend a land they knew indefensible. He is the focus of the work, a man facing his fate with serenity, in a cursed island where there is no water. A hero in the classic sense. See the war, he said, from the other side. Place name those whom one does not understand and simply to kill in battle. Heat. The smell of sulfur. The brutal battle of Iwo Jima on islands, indeed, discovered Castilla, when the Pacific was also, in part, a lake of the English monarchy.

Good film. Because the war, we have pursued since Cain rose against Abel jaw is part of who we are, to our horror. So it is good to see her up close. To imagine what it would suffer.

not stop watching it, idle reader.


PS: In the spring of 1630, still aboard the ship Arbella that led to Salem, on the east coast of the United States today, the Rev. Puritan John Winthrop said during a sermon: "For we Must Consider That We Shall Be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people upon us Are . " Castilian That amounts to something like "we must consider that we as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us."


PS: while I'm at Valladolid, I remember Forges at an airport saying goodbye from rocinante while the plane: viatge bon!
