Vegas. Vivan

I never had thought the day would come when I saw myself buying a ticket to Sin City.
A priori it's not really my kind of town. I am more of a library and museum rat. I adore getting lost in European narrow alleys , taking pics of buildings as older as the time that rules them.
A dish of pasta and an espresso in a forsaken Italian piazza, admiring how the sunset dies over the breathtaking cupola's churches, gets really close to my definition of happiness.
I also enjoy taking the bus to Dover and sneak out from this island into the wild history of the Netherlands, even further, leading my Spanish skin into trouble when exposing it to the Scandinavian and Baltic wind of seas I always dreamt of.
But since I have the holidays booked and I started reading all the exciting things you can see and do in Vegas...what the hell!!...Let's put our hair down and allow myself to be like the wind.
For a change it has to feel nice to be surprised and not having to be always the one giving surprises.
After all America was the promised land. Such a vast continent where many found their glory and many their downfall. It offered herself to the greed and the fulfilment of dreams not even imagined by the narrow minds of those who flow over there in search of a land where a start was less demanding and more promising.
Vegas represents the ability and thrill we find in creating out of nothing, pretending to be gods in heavens ruled by our own designed appetite.
This city speaks by itself about how an idea becomes real, materialising in the greatest amusement park in the world.
People go there attracted by the sense of freedom that only the openness of the ocean and deserts give. Some try to push their luck on the dice whilst others look forward to breath an air exclusively constructed for their personal entertainment, to make forget that reality inhabits few miles away, right where the gambling stops and life takes shape under countless responsibilities.
Vegas embodies part of the pioneer's spirit: A release from impositions where individuals, free from the law of many, created their own empire to delight the senses, the greed, the humanity that society overlapped in its movement towards evolution. It also represents the rules under which capitalism enjoys its life of spoiled king that submits its subjects to its vanal desires and caricaturesque enslavement to its here and now, it's all or nothing.
Vegas, the city where you can be whoever you want to be if you are ready for the ride.
