KEW. Royal Botanic Gardens

Hi bloggers

In the post of the week i decide to write about the KEW gardens. Looking on the internet about London attractions i saw a few pictures of those gardens and it called my atention. All that green is so beautiful that makes me want to go there and take my mom with me because she loves flowers, vegetation and gardens.

Bluebells near Queen Charlotte Cottage.

Those gardens are located in Central London, to get there you have to exit the Kew Gardens Station and walk to the Victoria Gate (located 400 metres from station) if you go by London Underground, but you can also get this place by train and bus. The price of the tickets to get in is £16.00 for adults and free for kids 16 and under. The place have 121 hectares of garden to walk and enjoy the nature and also can visit some iconic buildings in there like Palm house, Queen charlotte cottages and Xstrata Treetop Walkway where you can walk by between trees and if you get tired you can rest on grass and make some picnic, a special activity to family.

  Another personal reason to visit the gardens are the Glasshouses and Galleries which are an important thing to arquitecture, these constructions mark an age in structural and material progress. I've only seen on photos and i wish to know in person.

The Temperate House is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world,
covering 4,880 square metres and extending to 19 metres high.

Maquinaria Rock Festival 2010

Hi classmates,
  Today i'm going to talk you about my experience in a concert. It was my first time in a massive concert of music. In 2010 on my birthday's day my brother called me and told me if i wanted to go to the Maquinaria Festival, i didn't know what was that but my brother was so exited that i said yes and he bought me a ticket. I started looking some bands which were to play in the concert, to learn some song and preparing myself. The day of concert came in 9 october, there was a lot of people in the Club Hípico of Santiago. For my luck we had ''rock area'' tickets near the stage. 19 bands performed that day which ones went to present in 3 differents stages, i remember some names like Como Asesinar a Felipes, Movimiento Original, Calavera Conspiracy, a DJ and as headliners were Queen of Stone Age, Pixies, Linking Park and closing the night Incubus. It was a great show and the one i enjoyed most was LinkingPark, even thinking that i like a lot Incubus but they was a smug band, although i'm still listening their music, and the Pixies's show was excelent and very solid with very good sound.


Here i post some videos of the performance of that day.

Beachy post

Hi bloggers!
  The beach i'm going to talk about in this post calls La ballena and isn't a big place, actually is a small town located in Los molles in the 5th region of Chile. What i like about this beach are the rocks, the most part of the shore of beach is full of rocks, someones smaller and another taller and the thing i love to do is climb between rocks and stay on top watching the ocean and the waves crashing on the rocks and splashing the water, is a good feeling. Also this beach have a lot of sea animal like starfishes and whelks and another kind of shells, which are sticked in the rocks being seen by people passing and giving more colors to the view.
    When i was younger like ten years ago i went to this beach for few years on holidays because we have family near of there in Cabildo, but later we stopped going there on vacations but i went one more time with my aunt. Later i couldn't visit the place for a while until the last year when i had to go with my class. When we arrived to the beach i remember the past years and went to climb the rocks. The place is now full of summer houses, but when we went on spring there were few persons some men collecting seaweed and some more who live there so we had almost the entire beach to us. The landscape generated with the flowers on spring is awesome and beautiful.

I found a friend on the beach C:

Photograph

Hi bloggers!

 Is time to talk about a photograph. This is a photo of the past, i don't know exactly when it was taken or who took it and i actually don't remember so much that day but i know it was taken in a celebration at end of year of the company where my parents work and i was like 5 years old. This is one of my favorite family pictures because shows me and my mom smiling, it shows how happy i was without preocupations and felling just fine because my mom was taking care of me. Since i have memory i have always been beside of my mom and she was always with me, we used to said i was like her shadow following her to everywhere. We had a good relation but in some way i took some distance over time. 

 the thing i like most of the photo is that when i look it i notice that we actually are not smiling but when i try to remember how the picture is i always put a smile on our faces. Now when she is very serious sometimes i tell stupids or funny stories to make her smile and remind those days when everything was fine. i love the pictures because remind me that she loves me and how much i love her.
