A trip to the South of Chile

The best holiday I’ve ever had so far, was in February this year. It was a trip my family and I had been planning a few months before. We wanted to go in a motor home to the south of Chile, that way we could visit a lot of places and it was a whole new way of traveling for us. I actually don’t remember very well exactly where we went each day, I remember of course all the places that we visited, but not in order. And I know it hasn’t been that long since we went, but my memory is reeeaally bad L.

Back to the trip, we did go.  We invited our cousin too, so there was six of us. The whole time I was so excited for the trip, since I never went there before.

Our main goal was to get to Chiloé, we obviously didn’t make it the first night, so we slept in a gas station in Los Angeles, which at first was a weird thing to do, but also fun! The next morning, we continued our way to Puerto Montt, and then to Chiloé. The best part was to travel in the ferry, it was so cold outside, it even rained a little bit, but like everything we were doing, it was another new experience. And we got to see some seals in the ocean too!

It was unbelievably beautiful there. The views were amazing, it was all surrounded by just nature and it was the best thing ever. We had lunch there and continued to Dalcahue, we had trouble though finding a nice camping place, so we could sleep. February and the holidays were ending so there weren’t too many people camping or anything like that, and not all the places were trustworthy. We found one right next to the sea, and we made a barbecue in the night under the light of millions and millions of stars that you can’t see here in Santiago, and it was everything just so quiet, you could hear the sea and the wind through the trees. It was just wonderful.

I don’t exactly remember where we went next, but we did go to Frutillar when we were returning from Chiloé, and we saw the Lago Llanquihue, which was yet another beautiful thing of the trip. We met there and English man, Hans, who had a plot there and a motorhome as well. And my dad, as good with words as he is, we got along pretty fast with him, so we spent the night there.

So, summing up, we ate, slept, rested and enjoyed a lot. But the best part for me, was to spent a whole week with my family, since we don’t get these opportunities to be together that long, due to the fact that my parents work all day all days, especially my dad that works every single day and we didn’t have a holiday like this before.


I hope we can have a holiday like this again, but maybe this time for a little bit longer or even in another country, that would be amazing.

DOGS

Dogs have always been called the men best friend, and it couldn't be more right, but for me, they are so much more than that. And as a dog owner (and lover) myself, I have experienced my whole life what is like to have a dog by your side and to love them deeply. So in this post, I'll write about dogs that I've owned. My very first dog was ''Tunga'', he was a crossbreed (of breeds I don't know) and he was quite small, but man, he was a fighter. He used to live more in the streets than in our home, but he always returned at night. I was too little when he passed away, but I know my family suffered a lot with his death, because he was just a great dog. There were another dogs in between, I believe so, (not sure if before or after the one I'm about to tell you), but they, for reasons I'm unaware of, they didn't live too long in our home.  Then came ''Tomy'', which we loved, but caused a lot of problems. He wa...

A special meal

It’s hard for me to think of one very special meal, mainly because there hasn’t been a huge celebration, or any that’s more important than the rest. The one I’m thinking of, it definitely wasn’t a big celebration, any birthday or special occasion, it was one meal of when my family and I made the trip to the south of Chile. We were traveling on a motor home, so most of our meals were inside the motor home, but the very first one, was the most special one. The night before, we parked in a gas station and slept there, and so the next morning we had to take breakfast. I remember it was the most complicated thing at first, since it was our first time doing that, not like it’s something completely out of the world, but we were six and there wasn’t too much space to move around. My dad went out to buy some food, something like cakes I think since we were already prepared and had bread and everything to put in it, and my mom went to get water so we could boil it and drink tea. I ...

The final post

To be honest, this semester went by fairly quickly, and so did English classes​ (even though I missed a couple, oops) and I must say, I did enjoy them. This was my first and last semester (? of these classes, and I'm so glad I took them. Because in school, I never had classes like these, they were nothing compared with what we did this semester. We were always just reading or doing works that didn't seem to help us with english, instead this year I finally had the chance to speak english more often so I could improve in this, which I didn't have the opportunity to practice a lot in school, and I was shy about it. Writing the posts was also great, I really like writing and some times there were really interesting themes. But there are two special ones that I really enjoyed writing. The one about movies, and the one about dogs. What can I say? My absolutely two favorite things in the world. The one about movies, because I never before wrote about movies, or why did I liked/e...
