I did this exercise
before and I talked about a holiday I had with my boyfriend and his family in
the south of Argentina, so for this blog entry I’m going to talk about a
holiday I had with my family two or three years ago (I don’t remember exactly
when it was).
We went to
Valparaíso by bus and we stayed there for one week. It was special for us
because we hadn’t one week of vacations in years! Normally, we go to the beach
for one or two days.
We stayed in a guesthouse. I liked it a lot because we
were five persons and the house was big enough for us. The beach was ten
minutes from the place we were staying and we didn’t need a car to get there,
we could walk to beach, so we didn’t spend money in transportation, at least
that we wanted to go anywhere else.
We went to
La Sebastiana, one of the Neruda’s houses. I’m not a big fan of Neruda,
actually I hate him, but I like to visit cultural places. La Sebastiana is like
all of his houses. It has a lot of weird things –Neruda was very strange-, most
of them related to the sea. The bad thing about it is that is hard to get
there. You need to take a bus and the trip takes half an hour or more.
We ate sea
food. I like sea food, specially fish. We went to El Mercado of Valparaíso – I
didn’t translate it as “market” because obviously is more than a market, you
can eat Chilean food there and buy fresh vegetables-. I ate fried merluza and
rice. We had mote con huesillo then. Once we finished a musician started to
play for us.
We went
back to Santiago by bus again.
