From Evanston with love

One week, here in USA. Evanston is the name of the place where I've been last days. Weather is a fucking crazy stuff: wet at morning like a beach, wind and rain at afternoon like a wood and cold at night like pole north. In last days,temperature has been changing like 20 degrees (Celsius degrees) throughout the day. At least, this weekend temperature won't change much, because it will remain at 4 to 6 degrees (Celsius degrees). Now I understand why Chicago is the wind's city. Fuck man! It cuts the skin, makes cry your eyes and you feel your nose and ears going to fall down and break like glass.

Evanston is a suburb near from Chicago (perhaps 10 miles). You know, nice houses, wide streets, many trees and flowers, and also rabbits, deers and skunks. But the american food is awfull, except some foreigner restaurant (greek and thai) and obviously food that has been cooked in the home's kitchen where I've hosted. A peaceful town.


But I'm not here for hollidays. I'm here for job. Department of Chemistry of Northwestern University needs understand behavior of gold nanoclusters when they are passivated (covered) with thiols. This is not easy to do, is a long job because we have a lot parameters: cluster size, adsorption site, orientation, length and density of thiols. Much work, but is a great research. I think, at the end of work, an article in The Journal of Physical Chemistry will be possible to publish. Perhaps two. Gear!

Northwestern University is a beautiful place. Beside Michigan Lake, peace and tranquility is possible to breathe when you walk on its roads. The same feeling as when you are walking on Facultad de Ciencias in UNAM (Yes, sure!). But the people man, you know, the people... Beautiful people!! You see beautiful people in everywhere: eating on the grass, talking in the coffee, walking on the corridors, sitted, watching, reading, learning, driving bicycle or skateboarding, always beautiful people!! God, this is a paradise!!! And I am hungry but I am a toothless guy... The beauty should be prohibited!!! God! The beauty must be prohibited in every corner of the earth... Share or be prohibited!!! God, like sing the song: love is in the air, everywhere I look around...

Anyway, 5 days and I get back to Mexico City. And I'll again eat tacos de suadero and gorditas de chicharron. Yum yum! But I will miss this beauty... This beauty that has fall down deep in my heart... growing up and debasing my soul...
By the way, my english language is not well. Hablar y escrebir poquitou...
