A family meal

I will talk about a family meal I remember. It happened in january at last year in Peru. That day was the my mother's birthday.
My brothers, my grandparents, my cousins, my uncles and my aunts were in that meal.  My father also was in that day. My parents don't live together but they are good friends and they almost always are in the family meals.
We celebrated that day in a restaurant because nobody wanted cooking. The restaurant was to 5 minutes of my house.

I remember that all was ready to start at 13:00 hours. and I was working that day but I got permission to go out at 12:30. I was running from the my work to my home. My house was to 30 minutes of the office where I worked. My family was waiting for me because I am the oldest son and I had to do a toast.
In my memory is that before the meal,  I went to my house and I took a shower very fast, I believe that it was for 5 minutes.
When I arrived to a restaurant where the members of my family were gathered, everybody were ready to do a toast. It was a great moment for me. Also, I can say that the food was delicious and the music was very good.
It was a wonderful day because we had a good time.

A field trip

I didn't do a field trip last semester, but I took about the field trip to Cajamarca in Peru, because it liked to me.

I went to Cajamarca with my classmates when I was 15 years old. It is a tourist city in the north of Peru and we were interested to know the principal places in this city.

I remember that we arrived to Cajamarca at night and we went immediately to the hotel where we will stay those days. Then we went to eat some food near to the main square and  I watched a main square with some green bushes and I was impressed because this square was very clean and beautiful.


The next day, we went to Cumbe Mayo that is located some kilometers to southwest of Cajamarca city. We hired a guide, who would lead us in that way.  The guide said to us that Cumbe Mayo is best known for ruins of a Pre-Incan aqueduct stretching about five miles in lenght. The aqueduct collected water from Atlantic watershed and redirected it toward Pacific Ocean. But I was not interested to watch the aqueduct, I liked to watch the "stone forest", a place with natural volcanic rocks which have been shaped by erosion.

Two days later, we knew other tourist places, but the "stone forest" in Cumbe Mayo was the best for me.

Break winter

I had a very funny winter break. I can say that the most interesting experience was doing snowboarding with my friends.

I'm Peruvian and I never did snowboarding in my country because this sport isn't popular in Peru, but in the last month, many people said to me about the practice of ski and snowboarding in Chile, and I tought about practicing some of these sports. When my friends said to me: "Let's go doing snowboarding", I felt happy.

My friends and me went to "El Colorado" some weeks ago. It is a snow center where the people practice ski and snowboarding. We never did this sport in our life before, but we wanted living this new adventure. When we arrived to the place called  "El Colorado", we wanted to take snowboarding class but the class was not available, but we wanted to practice snowboarding and we went to the snowboard slopes. We had many falls but we achieved doing basic movements.

When we finished doing snowboarding, we ate many chocolates and drank water, and when we arrived to Santiago city, we drank coffee. Then, I arrived to my home and I was uploading the photos that we taken of our adventure in "El Colorado".

Going to "El Colorado" was enjoyable. I will remember that great day with my friends.
