11. A Chilean Landmark

Today i'm going to write about a landmark in Chile that I liked too much when I visited. In summer of 2018, i went on a trip with my family to Valdivia, it was my first trip to the south so I was very excited. The place of the city that i liked the most was the Costanera.

My family (grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins) and I traveled by car for about 10 hours. We rented a cabin on the outskirts of the city and drove to the landmarks of the city. Some places that we visited was Niebla Fortress, Corral Fortress, Punucapa Island, Botanic Garden of Universidad Austral, among others.

The city of Valdivia has beautiful natural landscapes but the Costanera brings together all the beauty of the city, in this landmark we can find some building constructions that brings heritage to the city like the Valdivia's Catedral, Municipal Market, Pluvial Dock and Pluvial Fair, Focault's Pendulum, O'Brien Submarine and some museums like the Navy Museum.

I loved this landmark, since I traveled in February, in this month Valdivian Week is celebrated and in the Plaza de Armas people usually throw confetti as a celebration, in the evening there is a lot of free cultural events in the streets from theatrical shows, live music, dance groups and street comedians. In the Pluvial Fair you can see walrus near (stealing fish from merchants)

It is a city with a very attractive cultural range and full of life (especially in the summer), the best panorama is to pay to sail in a boat at night across the Calle-Calle river and watch the lights of the city.

Unfortunately, Valdivia has a bad reputation in the world because of the Cau-Cau bridge (which is built backwards XD).

    Leaving aside the Cau-Cau Bridge, Valdivia looks like a very nice place to visit.

 Today i'm going to write about my brother Iván. Iván is my brother of the same mother but different father, but we have lived together all their lives. Iván is 9 years younger than me, he was born in 2012. He is a cheerfull, smart and affectionate, but very introverted kid. He is the middle brother, because we have a younger sister named Pascal, she was born in 2014. Since he was a child, Iván has a very sensitive temperament, so he must be treated with care and affection. As a child he liked to play with toys like cars and draw, today he likes to play Roblox in smartphone, watch history videos in YouTube, draw and play chess. Iván reminds me of me when I was a child, not only because of the similar physical, but also because of the hobbies and things he likes. That's why as an older brother, i try to transfer my interests and knowledge, i help him with homeworks, we watch movies together and i constantly ask him about the things he likes. I 'm his christening godfather. W

10. A Little Bit Of Chile

 Today i'm going to write about a place in Chile that i would like to visit again. I have always thought that to get to know the world, you have to start knowing your own country, there is no better place to travel than throughout Chile. I only travelled Chile from some places in the south and La Serena in the north,I still have a long way to go. I went to Villarrica and Pucón twice, in 2019 summer, with my family (father's side) we travel by car from Alhué (in the south of Region Metropolitana) to this places about 8 hours. In this trip we stayed in a big house in the outskirts of the city, from this place we visited some places like Pucón, Lican-Ray, Pucará, Coñaripe and Caburgua, we enjoy and swim in the lakes of this places. Also we visited the mountainside of the Villarrica Volcano and collect remains of volcanic stone. This first trip lasted 6 days and I enjoyed all the adventure, from the landscapes to the food, because it was my second trip to the south after Valdivia i

6. A Book

 I have never liked reading very much but there is a book that I recommend, since I gave it to myself. This book is called "Cancion para Mañana", written by Mauricio Durán, guitarist of the chilean rock band Los Bunkers. This book is a story that talks about the history of the band and the chilean and mexican musical context (end of 90's - begins of 2000's) in which they saw themselves as in a leading role. In the book, Mauricio narrates how the band was formed and how the creative process of his studio albums was. It also narrates the musical evolution of the band, in addition to the moments of greatest joy and sadness of the members.  I gave it to myself as a gift in the last christmas and i read in the last summer, the book have 250 pages approximately, It is very easy and entertaining to read, it narrates the daily life of the members of an important band in Chile. I like this book because i like the music of Los Bunkers, the book was released before the concert o
