The bes holidays I've ever had

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.
