A walk you like to do again






Today I'm going to talk about a very special walk. It was on Chichén Itza, Yucatan, Mexico
.
This walk takes place on a family vacation trip that was like 4 years ago. I went with my parents to visit Cancun. We visited lots of lovely places there but my favorite was the ancient ruins of Chichen Itzá. We bought a tour that included walking through the ruins of the ancient mayan civilization. It started early in the morning because the hotel was like 2 or 3 hours from Yucatán! So we took the bus and when we arrived, there was a place with a special feeling of freedom because it was far away from the city and the cars. Also, there were a lot of visitants from all over the world and it became quite annoying when i wanted to take photos.   
                                              
 We had a very good sunny day at first, but while we started walking  the clouds suddenly appeared and it started to rain. Luckily, I had my hat on. And between the tropical rain and all the people we tried to listen to the guide, who was explaining the importance of the mayan pyramids and its religious importance because they used to do sacrifices there! They believe that there are still a few mayans but they don’t do sacrifices now…   
                                                                              
 And one of the things that amazed me was when you clapped your hands in front of the Chichen Itzá pyramid and you could heard a Quetzal, the sacred bird for this civilization. It was a very special walk, we were very hungry at the time because we hadn´t had lunch yet but It worth it because all the landscape and beautiful ruins we could visit. And I definitely if I had the opportunity would come back again to that place

A phone app you use a lot

Hi classmates today I’m going to talk about Instagram, because that’s the app I use the most now. I have been using it since one year ago I think. I had an account before but never really paid attention to it. When this network appeared everyone was join it but I didn´t care because In that time I didn´t like to upload photos. Now I use it for sharing photos, of course, but I also view it as a kind of virtual magazine, because I can see everyone’s content on there (not only photos) but videos, adverticings, event announcements, online stores, funny things, and even linking with other people.              I never logout so I’m at every time but I normally spend 30 minutes throghout day checking it. If I have free time I could spend 2 hours wasting my time on it just watching silly things.                   I like to use it because now everyone seems to be more able to contact there rather than on fac...

my 16th birthday

My 16th birthday was a bit unusual. I was still on school, and never gone to a concert before (I think it’s because I wasn’t into music before and these spectacles always take place in Santiago and I lived in La Serena at that time) and given the oportunity, I knew that Paul McCartney was coming to Chile, like 2 days before my birthday so I asked my parents for letting me go to this concert as a birthday present. They also like his music and listened to The Beatles in their youth, so they agreed and also bought their own tickets. We almost didn’t get tickets because a lot of people wanted to go to this concert, the most expensive ones got sold out instantly and so the cheaper tickets and I was devastated. One week later, They announced another concert date and I could get tickets for me and my family and I was very happy. I also went to the concert with 2 friends I’ve met through a Facebook fan-group. We knew each other asking for tickets in that group. The day of the concert i was...
