the end of a GREAT trip


I didn't pick this photo because it has great color, light, composition, or all of those pretencious concepts people use just to say "hey!, that picture is PRETTY." I only wanted to show it because of what it represents: the end of one of the best summers of my life.
The image shows me and my two best friends of Santiago, at the Chilean Altiplano, coming back from La Paz to Iquique. We were imposibly tired, dirty and poorly feeded, but absolutly happy; the only regret we had was having to return.
The photo was taken by a chilean man who came in the bus with us, he had been traveling too, so we were talking and playing cards with a bolivian girl. After passing the frontier at Lago Chungará, the bus stoped in a diner in the middle of the desert, obviously we didn't have money to eat there, but we had some cookies and tea, so we sitted outside to watch that amazing sunset.

  2. Camila,
    That’s once again a nice post, and it’s well written except for a few minor details, mainly spelling. The photo is great, too! I look forwards to your next post.

    a) After superlatives we say: The best/ the most interesting/ the youngest’ ....... ‘in school’, ‘in Chile’, ‘in the world’, etc, when we talk about places.
    b) countries, nationalities and languages begin with a capital letter.
