Encounter in Providencia Town (Colombia) a week ago.
Cali, La Capital de Salsa mundial according to the `Caleños´ and it´s hard to disagree.
We arrived a few days ago and there are some other well-known guests as well,
among them: Los Van Van, Enrique Iglesias, Willie Colon, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Oscar de León
Manolito y su Trabuco, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Jose Alberto ‘El Canario’, Grupo Niche, etcetera!
La Feria de la Salsa 25-31 of December in Cali/Colombia…hot place for a salsero!
About the picture… yeah it can be some wild action at the events, most of it though consists of friendly shouting, laughing and dancing…These guys really know how to party!! Last night we went to sleep around 06,30 am!
And finally after 18 dives around the world the big one showed up. Dr Connalys reef outside La Providencia/Colombia, December 19
And here is the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzfR4aR-Jdc
..has made an effort to fix the roof ?? Whats the story behind these walls. Somewhere in Dalsland/ Sweden December 7.
Marching trough Slottsskogen in Gothenburg. November 29.
walking around Talho on the hills outside Ribeira Brava (Sao Nicolau, Cape Verde) me and my travel companion started to chat with a guy who was busy painting a garage door.
This is what you do in these parts of the world, anything else would be rude. So we talked for a while with this sympathetic and somewhat shy man with the name Avelino.
When he heard that we where Swedes he commented “Eu tenho un primo na Suécia” I have a cousin in Sweden…. he is a football player..
Okey… ??
Yeah his name is Henrik, Henrik..Larsson.
What are the odds?? I thought!
For those who are not football aficionados I can informe you that Henrik Larsson made his last match for the Swedish national team 2009. He has played for various international clubs among them FC Barcelona 2004-2006..
It seems that Henrik got his name after Avelinos father Henrique. We kept talking with the modest painter for a while. He was following the ongoing world cup in Brasil of course, as everybody else these days, but did not normally play himself, he was more of a jogger!
when we left I could not help myself thinking once again.. what are the odds!!?
Thanks to Liv Grethe I can show a family picture as well.. Henriks father, Francisco Rocha, is supposedly the “boss” in the middle!
