a gypsy soul

Friends.



It is hard for me to write about me , anyway I will try.

I was born in La Plata City, where I got my degree of engineer in 1969, then I married Maria Julia , we are still married , and we have 3 children.

We live in Baires since 1970.

In the middle of the seventies we lived in USA for a couple of years . I worked in the John Blizzar Research Center in the Foster Wheeler Energy Corporation devoted to the nuclear energy research.

We spent a marvellous time there with all my the family and in spite of having some offerings to stay there for ever , I decided ( against my wife´s opinion) to come back.

Perhaps the most importat desition in life that I had to make.

Fotunately we have gone several times to New Jersey , where we left many frieds, and a lot of affections and memories too.

I do not regret having return.

For professional reasons I had to travell for many different and beautiful countries not only in America but in Europe as well, however any time the plane lands in Baires I have the sensation of coming home.

José Marti the cuban poet wrote " Our wine is sour , but it is our wine" , perhaps this is the clue why I always came back despite my gypsy soul.



Now my next project is to spent a time in Brasil . At present I am studying his amazing history .

But before leaving I have to admit that now I am fiery tradding off with my family the terms of the trip.



Till here some aspects of my pleasure for travelling
