BALI: MT AGUNG - LAKE BATUR - TANAH LOH



This is Mount Agung... 3000m high it is usually hard to see as it gets always sorrounded by clouds. It is an active volcano, its last eruption was back in 1964, with nearly 1,000 casualties and several villages destroyed. Besakih temple was not destroyed and it is at 1100m high. This is cinsidered a sign from the Gods. Besakih is the trailhead for the hike to the summit. Definetely a must do on my next trip to Bali.


Having lunch at Lake Batur, with mount Batur at the back, a smaller volcano... also a hike I´d like to do. Angel wanted a picture with all the staff! We ate well, except Jordi, who did not eat a thing.



Rice Terraces... a common view in interior Bali...


Tanah Loh Temple, at sunset....

and Ahmed beach, which we did not have time to see...

BALI - SEMINYAK - HOTEL PURI WIMPI








































It never felt like a Hotel, more like our own little palace, with our servants and all.










K.L. FIESTA DE LA HISPANIDAD



Jordi con Angel y Manuel.


Invitación Oficial!
El gran motivo de viajar a K.L. en estas fechas fue la invitación a la Fiesta de la Hispanidad!
De traje y corbata disfrutamos de un copeteo y tapas, con Himno Nacional incluido que estuvo muy bien!


Viva la Bandera Nacional...

Angel, un discurso muy bonito, sí señor!

Presidente! Presidente! Presidente!

FATHERHOOD

Oscar and Chris with their baby boys Lucas and Thomas.

L´Òscar i en Chris i els seus dos fills, en Lucas i en Thomas.

I think this is beautiful. A family unit... why not having children? give your love to either your own kids or adopted. Create family. It´s just beautiful... not easy, but beautiful. I would like from here to encourage couples gay and straight to consider this idea, it is a gigantic responsibility, specially in a such selfish gay world, but I am convinced well worth it!

Òscar i Chris, enhorabona i moltes felicitats, de veritat que admiro el que feu, i ja sé que no és tarea fàcil... però ho he vist i és realment meravellós. M´agradaria des d´aquí engrescar a les parelles gays i no gays a fer-ho! Reconèixer i assumir una responsabilitat tan gegantina en un món gay totalment sibarita i egoísta és veritablement una fita!

DONNA SUMMER AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, THE ABBEY AND REYMUNDO!


Downtown L.A. driving with the roof down...





San Marino, where Chris and Oscar live.





Hollywood Bowl is like the Teatre Grec in Barcelona... only better. Bring your own picnic or get it from the stalls and dine at dusk before the concert. We went to see Donna Summer. Espectacular. This is something I definetely want to repeat when next in L.A.!

Concierto en el Hollywood Bowl: Es un teatro al aire libre, así tipo a lo greco romano. Es fantástico por que llegas al anochecer y cenas al aire libre, antes del concierto, que empieza una vez ha anochecido!





tHEE AbbeY is now the place to be seen in L.A. Fab decor and fab boys... This place is a must whenwver you visit L.A.!



Another must place to see is CLUB TEMPO. ah! those cowboys! There we met Reymundo:
