THIS IS SOUTH DAKOTA

Now I'm in San Francisco again, a wonderful city! In August I'll go to New York so I'll have more impressions about the U.S.for the blog!!

Sensations and impressions in San Francisco:

When you get to a new city the first thing you say is "WOOW" and naturally the most difficult thing is to adapt to the language and customs! Food! You must adapt to eating times, at 12 a light lunch, then the dinner at 7 and it is a heavy meal! People! It is curious to see the kindness that surrounds people in San Francisco, always with a smile and kind words, despite you're unknown to them.

Downtown! The first thing you think is: "Welcome to hell, the slopes and hills are certainly a divine punishment" after a while you get used to them and learn the bus routes and will adapt to the automatic car!. It is a wonderful place to walk and wander, every neighborhood is different , not only aesthetically but the people, colors and even the smells (the Mission neighborhood is a real Latin place where the smell of street food mixes)What you can not get used to, being Spanish, is getting up in the morning, to see the calendar set July 15, and through the window you see a cloudy day with rain. As Mark Twain said,'Never spent a winter as cold as that summer in San Francisco.My final assessment: Wonderful city. If you can, come here!!!

Sensations and impressions from a trip, Denver-Dakota:Open your eyes and what do you see?, a road that is lost in the horizon and large extensions of ground on both sides, sometimes a farm, that's it!

Stop at a supermarket, do you know the first thing that surprised me? Boxed food to take away industrial size. Everything here is in a big way, including cowboy hats and belt buckles, ooooh yeah I'm in the Wild Wild West!

Sensations and impressions Dakota:

Once you leave Wyoming behind, things change, we are in late June early July, and the fields could not be greener, yes, the good weather is accompanying us....Dakota is awesome, a rural people, their customs are deep-seated, but never ever forget their smile!Wonderful place to unwind, writers are welcome here ...you will finish your novels!!!.But..... yes!!! it's essential to have a car, here the distances between points are very very long, don't forget,

EVERYTHING IS BIG IN THE USA!
