A CHILEAN LANDMARK

Hey! so taking up last week´s theme, today im going to talk about a Chilean landmark that i like it so much when i was there! 

If you remember, last week i told you that i know many places of Chile, on of that parts is Iquique, we went with my whole family for my mom´s birthday, i was maybe 15 years old. But today im going to talk about a place near of Iquique, i think is not a well-known place but is a UNESCO´s World Heritage Site, also is a National monument and its calls Offices of Santiago Humberstone and Santa Laura. 

This place is not to far away from Iquique city, maybe about 50 kilometers maximum. Is a very beautifull place with a lot of history, they were two saltpeters that worked separately, this towns they had several inhabitants  at the time who functioned as saltpeters.

When i went with my family, it was atiring day because we had been touring various parts of the area, but when we got to the saltpeteras it was a very entertaining and interesting to get know that place, has a lot of history and the place it stays good for how old it is! One thing that´s still scary is that being an abandoned town you feel several vibes from the past. 

We toured smany places inside the town such as: the theather, the school, a steel pool, the church and obviously many house interiors. Also we walked the streets and many elements of the past. 

It was a very good day, i hope to come back one day.

A BOOK

 Hey! So in my life I dont read a lot, when I was at school I read books that my teachers gave me but ive never like it because they werent of my greatest interest and i was obliged to read them for a final test, also Its always hard for me to concentrate on reading; so maybe ive always believed that its hard me to motivate myself to read for this reasons. But in the last 2 years, when I left school Ive started reading more and things to my liking. In the summers, when I go to the beach I read a lot because the sound of the ocean it relaxes me and makes me concentrate.  Also when I enter to college, Ive started to read more because the books are more of my interest and I know that thay will help me in the future for my subjects! Id like to recommend the book "The choice: Edith Eger" (in spanish: "La bailarina de Auschwithz " ), wrote for Edith Eger.  The book tells the authors story before, during and after her period in the Auschwitz concentration camp, in the seco

Today im going to write about my travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I went in 2018 with my family for 2 weeks, the first one we were in Rio de Janeiro city and the second week in Ilha Grande, an huge island a few hours from Rio. The time we went in Rio was all of adventure because we were in the carnaval week, it was impressive see how the city change for this moment of the year, everyone was so happy and all the people celebrated in any part of the city! We met a lot of places (the cristo redentor and pan d e azucar), we went to so many beaches (very much haha) and ate brazilian typical food haha also we went to the carnaval in the sambodromo, it was a party all of the night, we back to our hotel at 5am...  The second week was calmer and more relaxing because in the island  we werent with many people compared to Rio city. To get to this place we take a van from Rio, we traveled 2 hours and then we take a boat 1 hora to the island.  This was very new for me because before this travel i
