Russafa es uno de mis barrios preferidos de la ciudad. Por sus calles encuentras bares, restaurantes, tiendas y muchas, muchas naranjas, y las naranjas ahora ya se están poniendo anaranjadas me encanta verlas… Pero, aunque la capital se salvo de la DANA del 29 de octubre, no fue así en el resto de nuestra provincia que sufrió los estragos de esa horrible tormenta que ha dejado miles y miles de damnificados y un numero muy, pero que muy alto de muertos. Las aguas se lo llevaron todo y va tomar tiempo, mucho tiempo, para que las cosas en muchos de nuestros pueblos regresen a la normalidad. Fue un horror que causó pánico y desespero, pero después que la lluvia dejo de caer, después que el lodo al fin se detuvo, cuando salió un tenue rayo de sol y amaneció el dia, vimos a cientos de miles de voluntarios, guiados por el corazón y el deseo de ayudar a sus hermanos, que partieron hacia los pueblos, acto de solidaridad, para echar una mano. Ya han pasado tres semanas y aún están allí, al pie del cañón, esos voluntarios…muchos de ellos gente joven, el orgullo de nuestra Comunitat…pues el trabajo no se ha acabado y si el pueblo no ayuda al pueblo ¿Quién lo va a ayudar?

Russafa is one of my favourite neighbourhoods of the city. Along its streets, you find bars, restaurants, shops, and many, many orange trees, and being that the oranges are now turning orange, I love seeing them… But, although the capital was spared from the horrible storm of October 29, this was not the case for the rest of our province, which suffered the consequences of that horrible storm that left thousands and thousands of victims and a very, very high number of deaths. The waters swept everything away, and it will take time, a lot of time, for things in many of our towns to return to normal. It was a horror that caused panic and despair. But after the rain stopped, after the mud finally ceased to carry away everything in its path, and when a faint ray of sunshine appeared and the new day finally dawned, we saw hundreds of thousands of volunteers, guided by their hearts and the desire to help their neighbours, heading to the towns, in an act of solidarity, to lend a hand. Three weeks have passed, and they are still there, at the forefront, those volunteers… many of them young people, the pride of our Comunitat… because the work is not over, and if the people do not help the people, who is going to help them?

The weather systems hitting the world,…nothing as before. I heard and watched on TV news about this disaster… I am so sad for people there and not easy to deal with this. But how nice young people are helping, I hope not happens again. But this is clear, world countries should think and should build new cities/hourse according to new weather systems. Every year it getting worse… Thank you for visiting my blog that I have met with you. Valencia beautiful place, and oranges… amazing. Their smell and their flowers… Beautiful street with an orance tree. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a nice day, Love, nia
