Why Keep The Equipment Clean

One train may hide another train

is a poem by Kenneth Koch U.S. (1925-2002), inspired by a sign that the poet saw in Kenya. Party:

In a poem, a verse can hide another verse,
Similarly, in a cross,
A train may hide another train.
So, if you intend
The railroad crossing waiting for a good time
to pass first. And when you read
Wait until you read the next verse-
There, just, you know you're safe.
In one family, one sister may conceal another.
So when you're courting, the better to surround them all sight,
For if not, by seducing one, you could end
love with each other.

And in Valparaiso? A mountain can hide another hill. Take the case of Baron. When is the last time you took your lady pololear there? I recommend that you do so immediately.

guess the lookout Portales, named after the mountain's most famous tenant, would be an obvious place to start. So do not. Party best on the street Setimio, the Montmartre of Buenos Aires. Walking

any Cerro Porteno always brings a bonus. Is the walk you see and one that bubbles inside. Two rides in one. Hides a train to another train.

Setimio, meanwhile, is one of the few streets that are in Valparaiso hill that was always designed as a boulevard. Thus, it was in 1845 when he laid the first stone of the convent of the Franciscan order. That we have never met such a mandate? This is another problem.

I invite you to imagine the face of Don Eduardo Provasoli when it first arrived in 1890. The famed Italian architect, who, years later, the iconic rise in Chiloe Castro Cathedral, would be responsible for building the tower this most famous of Chile. For my part, I can not walk the streets without imagining Setimio outdoor cafes and cherry-filled central floe and almond blossom.

But standing under the San Francisco Church in the evening does not require any imagination. It's a unique experience. Time stops. How many characters, steam coming from Europe after sailing Cape Horn, they had their first look at Valparaiso looking over here? Is the convent with its gardens and cobblestones. Quite a ride in itself. Wonderful. Doubling

right on White Street and wandering the streets Viel as Tocornal, Acevedo, and General Belgrano, we enter the heart of Baron Hill, a typical Buenos Aires neighborhood full of adobe and stucco houses, all with continuous facade very life of pavement. Each corner brings empanadas shop or store.

Climbing the hill, you reach a small square built by the neighbors. The garden is formidable. Unsurpassed view of the tower. From this place, we discover another Valparaiso.

Or, as Kenneth Koch: "It may be important / have waited a moment / to see what was always there.
