Memorable vacations

Good morning everyone!

Today I'm going to talk about a memorable holiday I had in 2011. It was my first trip on my own, like an adult. I went to Puerto Montt with my boyfriend, to meet his family there. We spend 10 beautiful days in which we visit very nice places like Puerto Varas, Frutillar and Chiloé. I ate a lot of good meat -which I love- beacuse his family got a farm. They like lamb very much, but I prefer bovine. His grandmother also baked cookies everyday. In Frutillar I tasted some delicious berry pies that was wonderful -specially blueberry and raspberry. In Chiloe we ate the best fish ever. I remember the restaurant because it seemed very modest outside, but once you come inside it was very warm and friendly. All the thing were hand carved in wood, so it looked beautiful. Besides, we didn't spend much money. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name.

I enjoyed this holidays because they were so relaxing. It is always nice going to south. You can breath fresh air and have a relaxing moment without sounds except those of the nature.

Classical...

Hello everyone,
Today I'm going to talk about something I really love: Classical music. It's very difficult for me to choose a single song that I like the most, as well as pick an author.  I usually heard a lot of classical music. Nowadays I've got more than 100 master pieces in my mp3 player. I really enjoy listening this kind of music because of it's infinite sounds, that seems to go through you from head to toes...

One of my favourite songs that I've been listening lately is a piece from the J.S. Bach's cello suites called "Suite Nº1 in G major, BWV 1007 - Prelude". These cello suites  were compose probably between 1717 and 1723. When I listen to this particular one, it makes me feel in peace and very relax. I like the full suite but it takes about 2 hours listening all the six parts. I also have to mention that one of my favourite interpretations of this piece is from Yo Yo Ma, a french-american cellist with a clearly asiatic genetic influence.


I think there is a song for each mood. For instance, when I feel stressed or irritated, I like to listen to Beethoven's symphony Nº5- first movement. It calms me down in almost 100% of the times. This piece was written in 1804–1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies.

I love classical music since I was a teenager and I think everyday I love it more.

Algarrobo

Hi Bloggers,
Today it suppose I have to write about a beach I like. The thing is that I don't have a favourite one. That doesn't mean that I don't like it. It's just that I don't go to the beach so often :/ and for that reason I don't know many of them.

However, if I have to pick some, I think It would be the Algarrobo beaches, in the V Region of Valparaíso. These are very nice, clean and peaceful. I don't know all the names, but the most important because of its tourism is "Las Cadenas". In fact, there is a  typical store that sells "palmeras" and other kinds of Chilian pastry. I really love it, but it's a little expensive. I  also like the "Feria Artesanal" where you can find many handicrafts.

Other beaches I like are "Acapulco" and "El Sol", in Viña del Mar, where used to be the "Muelle Vergara". I remember going there with my family and take long walks, so we can visit the dock and the handicraft market.

Anime time!

Hi friends,

There're been a lot of anime series in my life, but today I'm going to talk about an special one. You all probably know it. It's called "Sailor Moon" and it is based in the japanese manga known as "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon" or "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon", written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi in 1992.

The anime was broadcast in Japan - and then all over the world -  from 1992 to 1997. I remember watching it in a channel called "Magic Kids" about 10 am everyday. It is about a teenage girl and her friends who are reincarnations of ancient warriors of the galaxy that protect the earth from the evil forces. They can transform into magical soldiers (sailors) with special powers, who represents the moon and the different planets of the solar system.

Even when I have seen many other animes a lot better tan this one, I still have special feelings about it, because it was the first one. I remember really enjoy watching it, beacuse it was different of the other tv shows of that time, with so many and brilliant colors, nice music and right balance between comedy, romance and action.

Me in Torres del Paine

I want to share with you this photo of my recent vacations. It was taken in Torres del Paine this summer by one of my friends in the picture. She programmed the camera in automatic mode, so we can all appear in the photo :)
I like this photo very much because it represents an ambitious project that we plan together in about one year.   That mean a lot of work. We had to earn enough money to buy the tickets to Punta Arenas, pay for the stay in the National Park and, of course, get all the mountain equipment.

The funny thing in all of this is that all started for looking a similar picture that appear in a travel magazine. We just love the landscape. So, we decided to do the W circuit in Torres del Paine in our next vacations. How ever, we didn't know how difficult it could be. It was supposed to take 3 days to finish the circuit but we did it in 5 exhausting days. The first one is definitely the most hard and difficult, and so was the way to get where we took the photo, in "Base las Torres". But once you get there, you immediately realise that it worth it. The view is simply amazing. I totally recommend it.
