In Boston

So, I just arrived in Boston. When I got to the hotel, my room was not ready yet so I had to randomly walk around the city for about 1 hour. I was quite tired but it was a nice walk after all. I found this nice bookstore where I bought two books I was looking for with very good prices: the biographies of Coltrane (by Ratliff) and Davis (by Davis). I’m reading now the biography of Jimi Hendrix (by Cross). Cool stuff.

Anyway, if you’re around and want to have dinner/a beer this week, just let me know.

Back

My vacation is over since January 15th. I’m still catching up with GNOME and work stuff and specially the timezone (jet lag of hell!). It was just wonderful to be in Brazil for more than 20 days. I met my parents, my brother and quite many relatives and friends. I basically stayed in three cities there: Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Arantina (a very small town in Minas Gerais state). I took many pictures, have a look at this album.

Vacation Mode: On

I’m flying to Brazil tomorrow on vacation. I won’t be very responsive for anything until I come back to Helsinki on January 14th. So, this is a good time to wish everyone a very nice Christmas and a wonderful New Year! 2007 was definitely an amazing year for me. I hope 2008 to be even better! Woohoo!
