Yale, New Haven, Connecticut

July 17, 2019 by Papá in Sabbatical 2019

🇨🇴 Por la mañana fuimos al campus de la Universidad de Yale y descubrimos que el campus consiste de muchos edificios que parecen catedrales pero nunca lo fueron.

Antes del almuerzo visitamos Sterling Memorial Library y Beinecke Library. Lo único que tienen en común ambos edificios es que contienen libros. La primera es una biblioteca en forma de catedral y la segunda consiste en un cubo de vidrio dentro de una caja de piedra translúcida. En Beinecke tuvimos el privilegio de ver en exhibición dos ejemplares de la Biblia de Gutenberg.

Después del almuerzo asistimos a una presentación del coro del campamento de música que ofrece la universidad para niños de los colegios públicos de la ciudad; programa que Rubén dirige. Al terminar el concierto él mismo nos dio un tour por la facultad de música de la universidad.

Por la tarde llevamos a los niños a jugar en un parque cerca de la playa de New Haven y terminamos el día visitando el local donde trabaja Juan Pablo: Choupette Crêperie. Comimos crepes al estilo francés mientras el club de salsa de la universidad organizaba una fiesta en la plaza frente al local.

🇺🇸 In the morning we went to Yale University campus and discovered that it consists of many buildings that look like cathedrals but were never such.

Before lunch we visited the Sterling Memorial Library and Beinecke Library. The only thing they have in common is that they both contain books. The former is a library in the shape of a cathedral while the latter is a glass cube inside a box made of translucent stone. At Beinecke we had the privilege of seeing the exhibit of two original copies of the Gutenberg Bible.

After lunch we attended a presentation featuring a youth music camp choir. The camp is offered by the university for students of the city’s public schools and Rubén manages it. When the presentation was over he gave us a tour of the university’s school of music.

In the afternoon we took the kids to play at a park by the New Haven beach and finished the day by visiting the shop where Juan Pablo works: Choupette Crêperie. We ate French style crepes while the university’s salsa club hosted a street dance party in the plaza in front of the store.

Philadelphia

July 16, 2019 by Papá in Sabbatical 2019

🇨🇴 El domingo amanecimos en las afueras de Philadelphia y manejamos hasta el centro histórico de la ciudad. Ahí vimos el Liberty Bell, que es más un objeto simbólico que cualquier otra cosa.

Intentamos hacer tiempo para museos pero la mayoría del tiempo se perdió buscando parqueadero.

Eso sí, no nos fuimos sin probar un auténtico Philly Cheese Steak. Podemos decir que en Utah hay unos muy autenticos también.

Desde ahí salimos hacia New Haven, CT, donde nos acogieron muy amablemente el tío Rubén y el primo Juan Pablo.

🇺🇸 On Sunday we started just outside Philadelphia and drove to the Liberty Bell visitor center in the history downtown. There we saw the bell, which isn’t much more than a symbolic object.

We tried to make time for museums but most of the time was spent hunting for parking spots.

Of course, we didn’t leave without trying an authentic Philly Cheese Steak. We can safely say that Utah offers some pretty authentic ones too.

From there we drove to New Haven, CT, where we were warmly hosted by uncle Ruben and cousin Juan Pablo.
