UN DIMECRES MOLT MACO, FINS A MITJA TARDA

Ens vem llevar cap a dos de vuit, dos de dues hora catalana. Vem esmorzar i a les vuit sortiem de casa amb en Gabriel, que de cami cap a la guarderia de l'Ari ens va deixar al tren. Quin tren! Espectacular. Ja l'haviem agafat un dia. D'entrada, no hi ha catenaria i treu fum per darrera. Pero be, l'espectacular es que es un tren que potser es el que tenien ja als anys 70. Les portes no son automatiques. De fet, per pujar al tren no hi ha porta, de manera que, com a les pelis, podries saltar amb el tren en marxa. Llavors un cop a dins, cada vago te les seves portes que el revisor, un per cada dos vagons, em sembla, va tancat entre estacio i estacio. Llavors passa a vendre't el bitllet, un paperot de color verd on t'hi marca unes senyals amb una maquineta de foradar. Al cap de 20 minuts o aixi de pujar-hi, despres d'arribar amb un bon retard, i havent pagat ni mes ni menys que $5.25, que fot-li, vem baixar a l'estacio de Potrer Square, on haviem de fer una parada de metro linia vermella fins a Harvard Square. Pero vem decidir fer-ho a peu.

Vem enfilar la Massachsetts Avenue fins a la citada Harvard Square, des d'on vem visitar una mica de jardinets d'algunes facultats. Previament vem tornar a esmorzar a la cafeteria de la cooperativa de Harvard, ja a quarts de deu, una llibreria immensa i preciosa on em vaig comprar un parell de llibres i la Laia un parell mes. Despres de l'esmorzar i el passeig vem tirar per JF Kennedy fins el River Side i vem anar passejant una horeta o mes per la vora del riu fins el Harvard Bridge. Tot aixo amb un sol de justicia i nomes quatre cumulets ben humils i alguns cirrus. La calor es deixava notar, especialment al sol, pero la veritat es que a l'ombra s'hi estava prou be. Un passeig la mar de maco, amb el riu i el verd al seu voltant i darrera seu la ciutat que s'anava acostant.

Al travessar el pont ja vem entrar a Boston i vam fer cap a Newbury street, un carrer de botiguetes i casetes baixes la mar d'agradable de fer. Vem dinar per'lla, vem entrar a algunes botigues cercant sense exit unes sabates per la Laia i quan ja ens decidiem d'endinsar-nos cap al Downtown, que vindria ser el centre centre de la ciutat, fer un geladet i agafar el metro, linia blava, cap a l'aeroport on haviem quedat amb en Gabriel per llogar el cotxe tot esperant el vol de la seva mare, em va venir al cap, com un fletxasso, la targeta de credit. M'havia caigut a terra de la butxaca de la camisa tot provant-me roba a la botiga de la cooperatva de Harvard, ja fora de la llibreria. Pero la vaig recollir. Burro de mi, no me la vaig guardar als pantalons, a la butxaca del darrera (no portava la cartera) sino que la devia tornar a fotre a la butxaca de la camisa. I ja no va apareixer. Nervis, mala llet i estroncament d'un dia la mar de maco i potser tambe dels plans cap al Canada: sense targeta de credit no et deixen llogar un cotxe i la Laia no en te. Mes endavant vem descobrir, despres d'anul.lar-la, que igualment amb la meva targeta no hauriem pogut llogar-lo, calia que la conductora tambe en tingues.

Avui ens hem quedat a casa gaudint del solet i la piscina, decidint que fem, cap a on tirem aquests dies que ens queden de vacances. El que deia, on verra.

The destiny... The unforseeable destiny... There is the legend that John F. Kennedy, when he was making plans, always was warning of the possible presence of the L Factor, the Luck Factor, that he can change at one stroke any human project... Now your L Factor has been a credit card... But it is necessary to take advantage of the destiny, and do things better than those who were thought to do... Good Luck...
Already I have returned of St. Martin's
2.50 a.m. On August 15, 2008 Rain in the night of Barcelona. In the meteorological radar, there are big red zones on the coast between Barcelona and the Balearics Islands. Already you know, today they begin the holidays of Gracia.

Be happy, friends!

O sigui, una mala jugada lo de perdre la tarjeta, però també que en aquest país sigui més important una tarjeta que no pas un carnet o paperot que t'identifiqui (em sembla que no en tenen de DNI)

Ja em arribat al 15 d'agost, i sembla que l'estiu, curt estiu d'enguany, ja comença a fer figa. Avui a Puigcerdà, 8 de mínima, i amb una tormenta a 2/4 de 8 del matí, han quedat les muntanyes enfarinades. Després ha sortit el sol, i ha fet ja una "calor" de 20º.

Aprofiteu els 10 díes que us queden, de la millor manera possible.

Fins aviat, Jordi
