2 weeks ago | self.com | Danielle Pergament |James Emmerman

They looked at me. “Pachamama!” I said as I poured half my drink into the earth. I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it, but I did it. It was a shame. I’d been enjoying the rosé. Then again, it wasn’t the worst idea — I was lightheaded.

"Pachamama", dijo nuestro guía, Orlando Condori. Inclinó su copa y vertió un poco de vino del color del rubor sobre la arena reseca. "¡Sí, la Pachamama!", exclamaron los demás, e hicieron lo mismo. Me miraron. "¡Pachamama!", pronuncié mientras vertía la mitad de mi bebida en la tierra. No tenía idea de qué estaba haciendo ni por qué, pero lo hice. Fue una pena.

In Los Angeles, Hotels Become a Refuge for Fire Evacuees

Jan 10, 2025 | nytimes.com | Ceylan Yeginsu |Danielle Pergament |Finn-Olaf Jones

The lobby of Shutters on the Beach, the luxury oceanfront hotel in Santa Monica that is usually abuzz with tourists and entertainment professionals, had by Thursday transformed into a refuge for Los Angeles residents displaced by the raging wildfires that have ripped through thousands of acres and leveled entire neighborhoods to ash.
