My Picture !

Hi classmate!

Today I´m going to talk about this picture!


In this picture are my best friends: Guido, Andrés y Hernán and me. Here we were in one town named Puno in Perú because we were invited to dancing with our group named Quillahuiara to "Carnival of Puno" . This picture was taked three years ago, in february 2009 for my ex-boyfriend, Camilo.
The clothes that they are wearing  from dance of this carnival, named Tinku. The tinku is one of the typical dances of the andean zone. It´s  a symbolic fight to the fertilize the land.

This day I didn´t can because I was ill, I had flu :( but the other days I can danced.
I rememeber that these day was very hot and my friends was very angry because the others days had rain a lot and just on that day  the sun was shining and this picture we appear hot but very very happy!
I hope to entertained you with my post about this picture in the Carnival of Puno because I enjoy very much.

See you tomorrow, yujuu!!

Regards
bye bye!




                               
                                           

Technology and me

Hi class mates!

This post is going to talk about my favorite technological object. Although technology is not a good friend of me. At my home there are not too many technological objects, just the common ones. Besides that, I decided to buy a lap top when I started at University. Which one it coasted me to save a lot of money. That’s why I think that it’ll be so shame if something happened to it. I think it’s one of the most useful technological tools, especially if you are a student. I think is easy to carry, It allows us to talk with friends and relatives. Even they are far away. I use it to do my essays being comfortable on my bed, download movies, and listen to music. In general it’s very entertaining.
In the other hand, it has some problems. Without internet you cannot do too much, also every day is getting more expensive, and to carry it could be a little rescue. You feel unsecure to be stolen, and it could be damaged. Well I’m sure you already know that, because the most of you should have a laptop.

I hope to entertained you with my postsee you at class

Regards

Bye bye!

A little remembrance!

Hi classmates!

I know a lot of places in Chile and the others countries beacause I love to travel for Latin America but in this post I will talk about one of the most spectacular place that I visited, this is the Salt Mines of Maras in Perú. Maras is a district of the province of Urubamba, is located west of the city of Cuzco and this place is within the circuit called the "Sacred Valley". I visited Maras three years ago, specifically in February of 2009 with excellent travel group: my best friends although during the trip the group was growing.This place was very interesting because their existence is very ancient, goes back to the period of the Inca Empire, and surprise the extent of the mines and also that you can walk through them but personally for me the most interesting of the place were the people who lived there with those who shared. 
They received me very kindly in his house and explain how they worked with the salt from these mines, as lived and some of its traditional local festivals. Fortunately when I was there I got to one, the “Carnival of Inti (sun)”, which lasted about a week and which assists people of all the nearby villages. In this event I experienced things foreign to my but very interesting as the sacrifice of animals, especially “llamas”, "challar" their house so they miss nothing during the year, among others.
Visiting this place was one of the most fascinating experiences and although I met other ancient sites such as Machu Picchu, my satisfaction is for sharing with people of Maras and I hope  to return there some day.




see you soon 
bye!
