Weekly "Dicho con Café"
"Despues de la tormenta, viene la calma."
The author's translation is that "After the storm comes the calm."
What this dicho means to convey is that not all things remain bad, but rather a time of tranquility will follow. This dicho is used when a person is going through many of life's trials and tribulations where rough spots on the road will occur, but with the knowledge that a smoother road lies ahead. This dicho can be used for those that are having financial difficulties, personal problems, as well as facing many other hard situations, to assure them that things will get better. |

More About John A. Flores
Another beautiful city visited by Mr. Flores and his wife was Paris, France, which lies along the River Seine. It is a city with approximately two million residents within the city and another ten million living in the surrounding metropolitan area. It is also a city that has many interesting sites to visit, such as The Louvre, the museum which displays the famous painting of the Mona Lisa and which is the home the Venus de Milo statue. Nearby is the famous Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris as well as the Champs Elysees, which is a converted garden-promenade-turnaround connecting the Arc de Triomphe with the Place de la Concorde which was home to the infamous "guillotine" where many unfortunate Parisians were beheaded. Two of Mr. Flores's "bucket list" wishes were to sit on the Avenue Champs Elysees sipping a cup of Parisian coffee with the Arc de Triomphe in the background as well as having lunch at the restaurant located inside the Eiffel Tower. He now has a picture of him doing just that! Speaking of the Eiffel Tower, this tall structure was part of the 1889 Exposition, and at over 1000 feet tall was the tallest building in the world for many years. The cuisine for which Paris is famous did not disappoint and since Mrs. Flores had family living in Paris at that time, they were taken to several local restaurants where they were able to enjoy several excellent French meals. It is a city that should be on everyone's "bucket list" and hopefully you will one of these days be able to enjoy the City of Paris and the many features it has to offer.
When he's not writing books, Mr. Flores makes presentations to local, regional and national groups, using dichos to motivate his audiences. You can contact him for speaking engagements at (559) 456-0128 or at his personal email at jaflores1246@comcast.net
