A lot of green, a lot of fun


Hi, everyone!

In this entry I’m going to tell you about the best holiday I’ve ever had :D

I went to Salta, an Argentinian city when I was 12 years old. We were like 8 people in that journey. There was my mom, my aunt,  the family of two friends of my mom, and myself.

We traveled in bus and we stayed in a hostel. The travel and the accommodation were bought with a  family package on the travel agency, so it was in our budget.  

I remember that the hostel was near a park, with a little lake and a lot of families went to it. Also, from the hostel,  you could walk about 10 blocks and reach the city center.  In the way, we sometimes stopped in a little coffe shop, and I loved asking for “submarinos” in breakfast. A submarino is a glass full of homemade chocolate milk with pieces of bitter chocolate in the bottom.  

One night we went to a restaurant, but I just remember the Boleadores Show, not what we ate!

Another thing we did was go by bus to San Lorenzo, where is a hydric reserve in the farm Las Costas. It had a lot of trees and birds; I’m  not use to see a hill with all that thickness, but I love it.  We walk along one part of the river, it was very clear and clean, then we lunch and finally wait for the bus pick us up.

Perhaps on of the memories more crisp of that trip was the cable car ride, when we’re going to the San Bernardo hill.  I had never been in one and it was very exciting! And the sight was very beautiful, because we did that trip in the afternoon.

That’s all for today, see you later!

"Highs and Lows of my neighbourhood"


Hello, people!

Today I'm going to talk about my neighbourhood in Arica. In specific, I live in the "pasaje Calicanto"

The highs about it: a bus pass near to the street , and it can get you to the hospital, the center or the beach, if you want to. Or even more important, go to the "Agropecuario"and buy your veggies for the week.
But if you want to buy something quickly, you can go to the "Feria Cabo Aroca", walking some blocks down the street.
Also, the block is a good place to ride on a bike, and  I love that! Or let your children play in the afternoon.

The lows are that, in the same street there is a Evangelical Church. Sometimes is problematic because when there's too much people, they leave their cars in the street and so they don't let pass the people. Even, one day, they were singing very loud..at 3 am!
Another thing is that some people who live close to the street, are drugs dealers. There is a corner that is very dangerous in the night.

Even with that, I love where I live, because I have my family there and a lot of memories about it! :)
