Anna y Manchas
I’m back in Sweden again. Missing what I left behind. But time is relative and becomes only what you make of it, so I’ll try make it go as fast as possible.
Chipinque
Chipinque is a great place for a picknick and fresh air. Or if you just want to go for a walk in the nature along the tracks available here. The view is amazing and it’s nice to get away from all the traffic and its fumes for a while and just enjoy what the nature has to offer.
Karma
Society is divided into two classes: the ones that have money, and the ones who don’t lose their hope of getting it.

Zombie Lemonade at the Comic Convention
Photos taken during the Animex Convention in Monterrey, México 2010. My favorite, except this awesome zombie dude, is the old man charging people to shoot Edward with the bow and arrow. You know Edward, the sparkling vampire from the movie trilogy Twilight? Yeah, I know…

When the hurricane Alex hit Monterrey
Last year I was here for the swine flu. This year the hurricane Alex. So far so good. I’m still alive. What you see on the top image is a flooded river bank that’s been dry for decades. No more go kart, circuses, soccer fields or markets. Everything got flushed away.
Yesterday and the day before that was pretty overwhelming with all the heavy rain. Today it’s more clear and people is starting to overlook all the damage. I’ll try to post more pictures of the disaster later on when I get more pictures.

I’ll keep you all updated. Let’s just hope my house gets water back soon…
Bandera Monumental in Monterrey, Nuevo León
The biggest monumental flag in Mexico is the one located at the Mirador del Obispado in Monterrey (northeast) with a pole of 120 tons and 100.6 meters in height. The flag measures 50 by 28.6 meters and weighs 230 kilograms. This is four times the size of most other monumental flags. — Wikipedia
