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
Honey Harvest!! that beautiful and fun! always great change of pace for some different work that eventually turns into a fun, one day I live this experience
ReplyDeleteIs really nice that after a long and stressful year, you can actually have a big distraction and forget everything about the class and the university. I'm very happy that soon we are going to be free again!
ReplyDeleteI've never been in Paine, I would like to go.
ReplyDeletecompletly agree, vacations are amazing time to share with family and friends we don't usually see... or just to do nothing and have a relaxing time just for you.
