Daily Blog - A full day out: a morning at the museum in the city of Buenos Aires and an afternoon coffee near home, 30 km away. / Día de paseo total: mañana en el museo en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y tarde de merienda cerca de casa a 30 km.😃❤️ by @lauramica

So much beauty in this post! I never tire of asking God to grant me the chance to visit Argentina at some point in my life. Buenos Aires has always struck me as a dreamlike city here on our continent, and these images prove it once again. It’s wonderful to see you enjoying both the company and the city itself. That theater looks like the kind of place where I could spend hours taking in every single detail.

[Movie] April's Daughters by @jcrodriguez

The uncomfortable topics the director may tackle are real-life issues, which is why I think people often prefer not to watch this sort of film, but rather something that takes them away from reality. But that doesn’t mean these issues don’t exist. I see that in his films he portrays situations that people might actually go through, and although the general rule is that mothers love their children and would never do anything to harm them, the reality is that, as you mentioned, there are all sorts of people, and I have personally known women who treat their children very badly, to an extent that would be unthinkable. They tend to be women who probably didn’t want to be mothers or weren’t prepared for it, and that’s perfectly legitimate and understandable, not everyone is cut out to be a mother.
I like it when films tackle real-life issues; they should bring the viewer closer to the story, although we see that this doesn’t always happen.

October 2026 Hits different! Beauty in unexpected connection 🦋 by @les90

Yes, I can see that your October this year has been quite different from what you’re used to, but there’s something magical in what you describe—the mystery of something new, the act of starting over, and the hope that better days lie ahead. Taking that first step is important, and I believe it will ensure the success of what’s to come for you. Enjoy this new chapter; I know you’ll adapt quickly, and it will turn into a great experience—different from when we were younger, perhaps, but it will be a good one...

An encounter with Hura crepitans; a tree with striking spikes on its trunk (Eng - Esp) by @belkyscabrera

I don’t know if it’s the same tree, but I think I’ve seen something similar before, and what struck me most were the thorns, the whole trunk was covered in them. But what catches my eye most are the flowers, how they’re divided into female and male, and the issue of toxicity. It’s incredible how some birds eat them and how they make the fish drowsy. You’ve done a thorough and excellent piece of research, not to mention the beautiful photographs you’ve shared with us, I love that green colour and the red of the flower.

Doña Cristina [Channel Review] ESP/ENG by @victor2356

What a lovely channel! And if it’s true, Doña Cristina could start her own channel, as I reckon she’s seen how her daughters have done it and I’m sure they help her with the editing and everything else, which isn’t at all easy. I really liked the video where she shows us her house; I wasn’t expecting to see such a lovely house with so much space. It’s all worth the effort, a family effort. On the other hand, it’s true that food cooked over a wood fire, the old-fashioned way, tastes so much better, and all those recipes remind me of my grandmother and even earlier generations in my family. What a lovely channel you’ve discovered, and I’m glad you’re sharing it, those people deserve it.

Typical dishes from your country [Youhive] ESP/ENG by @carmen1659

Well, I’m going to have to try those tequeños to see what they’re like, because if nobody can resist them, and judging by your description, I don’t think I can either. Plus, they’ve got cheese in them, and I love cheese. But what I like most is the way you tell the story about the arepa and the fillings that go in it, and here I have to say that if the Venezuelan arepa is filled and the Colombian one isn’t… I prefer the Venezuelan one. And whilst I’m intrigued by the last one you describe, the one with shredded beef wouldn’t be half bad. I love the video you shared to go with your review and how delicious they look. I reckon there’ll be plenty of opportunities to try them.
