'Mystery and Melancholy of a Street', Giorgio de Chirico. Easily my favourite painter. His work has haunted me since I was a child.

Re: Sausages update.
Forget Carulla - chorisos, rubber hot dogs and skinny black puddings is all they sell. They´d even run out of proper bacon. Better bring your own sausages.
Also, better stop thinking about them too. ´Gringar´? Large what? Your preoccupation with sausages is obviously spilling over into your everyday life mate! Take deep breaths and take care. :)

Hey I saw your old post on Punk because i got nostalgic talking about all those great bands I listened to growing up. DKs, Clash, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, Descendents, Black FLag, etc.... I even got into bands from London: Sham 69, The Oppressed, Hell I even saw The Business twice in AZ...

Yes there is punk and metal in Colombia. On a recent trip to Barranquilla I even saw references to punk and skinhead culture in colombia; i am assuming they are the anti-fascist varity of skins but never met any there so I dont know.
