Catalina's Blog: The year of the trips

Hi readers! Today’s topic is about the trips, and I decided to tell you about a trip that I made in 2014.

To be honest everything started in 2013, my uncles invited me to participate of their vacations to Arica. I didn´t know if I must accept it or not, until my mom told me that I should take the opportunities the life give me, because they don’t always repeat. Then, the last days of 2013 I was with my uncles and my cousins at the airport about to flight to the fifteenth region of Chile.

I was so nervous because it was the first time that I took a flight but I realized that is so cool and I loved it. We arrived to Arica in a couple of hours, I remember that when we arrived to the hotel we had lunch and we slept all afternoon because we had been awake since early in the morning and we were so tired, then, at the night we started our walking around the city. I won’t tell you every detail because is too much, but I will tell you that we were there about a week. We spent the most of the time knowing Arica, The Azapa Valley, Tacna, Huara and Iquique. I fell in love with the Arica’s city, with its weather (the endless spring), its people, its beaches and its gastronomy.

We spent the New Year’s Eve watching the fireworks at the “morro de Arica”. It was different because of the place and because I wasn’t with my parents. I think that I traveled all this year because I started the year traveling. In the middle of the year my school won a study tour of SERNATUR around the sixth region of Chile (for one week) and at the end of the year with my classmates school traveled to Bariloche as a study tour, beside all the little holidays with my family. I think it was the most traveled year Hahaha.
