!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

ETNA IS QUIET BUT FOR HOW LONG? FROM MARISA. THANKS A LOT.



flickr.comSNAP ABOUT FORECASTED ETNA ERUPTION




Etna is quiet, but for how long? The very, very spectacular lava fountain that occurred at the active pit on the east flank of the Southeast Crater on the summit of Mount Etna during the night of 12-13 January 2011 lasted about one hour-and-a-half. Half of the Sicilian population was able to see this event, and the internet was soon overflowing with photos and videos posted on sites like Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and the likes, and the newsreels all over the globe brought the breathtaking footage into the homes of billions of people. The volcano has been quiet since the early morning of 13 January, but for us volcanologists and geologists and geophysicists and technicians of the INGV Catania, the work has just begun. I have been up and around Etna for much of the past 60 hours, including a visit to the very vent that produced the paroxysm two nights ago after no more than 3 hours of unquiet sleep just after the lava fountain had ended and I had returned home after frantically driving around the volcano to obtain photos and video. This photo is a screen capture from one of the videos I took. The full set of seven videos is at YouTube and you absolutely have to watch them all.
