Holidays are my favourite part of the
year. It's not because I want to go out but rather because of the beautiful
chance of having some real rest; I use this time to get rid of stress, forget
about homework, annoying teachers, and mostly, I forget about setting up the
alarm clock and thus forget about sleeping for 4 hours a day. As I was saying,
my vacations are mostly an opportunity to relax and think about my family; this
is why I always travel to Paine where my godparents live.
I always pack very
few things when I go there since I have a complete wardrobe in there, so no
matter what the season is, I always have something to wear when I visit them.
Once I get there I spend my time walking around, watching TV, or sometimes
asking my godparents to visit lake Aculeo. During summer I stay there for
longer so I can help my godfather with the bees, since it is the honey
harvesting season. This occupies a huge amount of time: we wake up at 4 or 5 AM
and we stay in the hill until 2 or 3 PM. We basically remain there harvesting
honey until daylight runs out. It is an extremely exhausting process but it is
also lots of fun.
Honestly, it is not frequently that I travel from Santiago to
anywhere else considering that I am usually short on money, but whenever I go
out, I really have a good time. Coincidentially, everytime I have a lot of fun
it's because I've been to my godparents or because I've traveled with my
parents. I'm looking forward to begin travelling and discovering other
interesting places in Chile
