Blog Post 3: My Pets

Hi, classmates and teacher, my family (especially my mom) is a dog fanatic, therefore, It's difficult to talk about all my pets in 170 words, since there are 5 dogs in my house (their name are Matias, Chelo, Luna, Pequeño and Bambam), so I'll do my best.

It all started with Matias, It was my uncle's dog. One day my uncle asked us to please look after of Matias for the summer while his family went on vacation, but we simply never gave it back (it also didn't want to leave). Today, 13 years have passed since that day and It's still with us.

After that day we found four more dogs from the street to take home. After Matias came Chelo (It was given to us in the cemetery), then Bambam (with Chelo it became friends in the street), then Luna (it was left on the street), and finally, Pequeño who was abandoned by a neighbor.

It's amazing how a home with pets changes, especially if there is a dog like the Luna that plays all day (It never runs out of battery!! 😱), the Luna is also very good at destroying everything (honestly It's like a little baby 😂😂). On the other hand, there are also the friends Bambam-Chelo, who are never separated, It walk together all day, eat together and play together. Finally, Matias and Pequeño are both a bit “antisocial”, the first for thinking It's the owner of the house and the other for arriving last, although It's already adapting to the family little by little.

What more can I say? I simply believe that dogs are the best thing in the world, is the reason for saying this: Man's best friend.

Blog Post 2: The Best Holidays / Concert Ever.

Hello again classmates and teacher, today I will tell you about my best holiday ever. I must also admit that, like the professor, I have never been to a concert, because I was uninterested or because I didn't have the money 😢.

Well, I remember that this holiday happened in February 2017, where for the first time I met La Serena and Coquimbo. This holiday was in the company of my family (my parents and my brother), for one week we met the best of these cities, where in La Serena I visited one of the most important valleys in Chile (Valle del Elqui), also the Japanese Park and beautiful walks along the beach.

On the other hand, in Coquimbo I was able to visit the astronomical observatory La Silla and the port where I went by boat and tasted the gastronomy, but what I loved most about this city were the beaches, especially La Herradura (left photo) and Totoralillo (right photo). I sincerely believe that these are the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited in my life, where I was also surprised that the beaches were totally different, in the first one the waves are big and restless, compared to the other one, where the waters were very calm.

But that's not all, after returning to Santiago, I went immediately to Puerto Mont with my girlfriend, where we met for the first time a National Park, I'm talking about the Alerce Andino National Park, I can only say: ¡OMG! It's incredible how nature can surprise you with its flora and fauna. Also, as an anecdote, we met two friendly french who took us (by car) to the entrance of the park and told us that they were amazed with the landscapes of Chile, by the way, they came from the Torres del Paine (another place I would love to visit). After three days in the park, we went to Puerto Varas to visit the Lago de Todos los Santos (I think the photo describes the beauty of the place). Finally we take a ferry to Ancud (Chiloé), where my girlfriend's grandparents live.
