Summer vacations: Trip to Yumbel, Concepcion

I think this is the most enjoyable time I ever had.

During the summer vacations, for almost ten years, my family and I travelled to Yumbel; a small city located in the VIII Region.

My father was born there, so we went to visit my cousins, uncles, and my grandmother. We visited the school he studied in, the places he attended to, other villages and the graveyard when are buried his uncles, cousins and father.

During our journey, we visited a very small village call Rere. It has almost 50 houses, a square and an old bell tower, from the time of the Spanish Conquest. It is a very beautiful place.

In another occasion, we attended an old custom called “Trilla”. They use horses to separate the thatch to the grain. It is a kind of southern party.

In Yumbel, in January 20^th and in March 20^th, the citizens celebrate San Sebastian Holiday. People from the entire South and others locations of the country, gather in the square of the town and celebrate in his name.

My trips to this city were the nicest times I had in my childhood. I really hope we travel to Yumbel one last time.

1st Post: Blog Sessions Expectations

During the semester, in the blog sessions, I would like to talk about what music we like; which are our favorite movies, directors and TV shows; what kind of literature we read; and our family and pets.

With all this topics, I would like to practice the skill that I find to be the worst in me; the writing skill. This is my most important objective in this course. To read in English, on the other side, is the skill that I have more developed than the other three.

I think that the use of Blog in this course is very useful and helpful, because we live in the century of globalization and communication; and this tool can fulfill this aims.
