Post 8: Summer Holidays

Holidays are just around the corner! It’s so exiting. This semester has been so long and I can’t wait for it to end (sorry teacher haha). It hurts when you hear of having classes in January (insert pain face here), but great things come after that. At least we will have a month just for fun.

When it comes to me, summer holidays arrive and I immediately get out of Santiago. Obviously because I am not from here and I want to see my family and spent great days in the countryside. In summer we always eat traditional food “pastel de choclo”, “humitas” and delicious fruits like berries and watermelon. The best is that the corn and watermelon we use is from our own harvest. And you can have lots and lots of it, so for me, a person that loves eating, that is the best thing in the world.

In those days all you can do is relax and enjoy. Most important is that you do not have to study. I love to travel so I also go to La Serena, where I lived for ten years. I like to go out with friends, spend time on the beach and visit the ones I love. I’ve went with my family too, but we always choose different places, so I don’t know where are we going together this year. We enjoy spending the day in Pichilemu, which is close to my house or traveling to the south.

I would like to go again to Pucón, because I went this winter but it was too cold and rainy to swim in the lake or enjoying outside. We will see what happens, but first I need to get out of university!
