If I go to London....

I think than there are many places interesting in London. I’d like to know The Camden Market, because almost always those places have some of each culture. In general I like the market. But, I would have liked to know when there were street sellers. I think than those causing an impression of “typical”.

Other interesting places are the museum. Above all “The Madame Tussaudy Museum”. Would be interested to see celebrities in wax. I would like can to see to celebrities like U2, Guns and Rosses, Elvis Presley, in wax. Or political characters like the president of somebody countries, like Chavez, or Fidel Castro (I think than this is impossible)

The “Natural History Museum” is very interesting too.  Really is very wonderful. In the Web Site I could see than is a big place, with many information and illustration. I don’t know if in Chile there are something like this. Is interesting cause we can planing an family activity or with our classmates.

If you visit the “London Eye” you don’t should fear to heights. Is a exciting place. Definitely I have to go there if I travel to London.

Other amazing place is the “Kew Garden”. Also of beautiful landscape, they have sites of conservation for help to prevent the climate change. Too, it houses the earth’s largest and most diverse botanicals collections.

I think than I need more of a week for to know all this places, above all, those one with free pass. And I don’t know than more I can say for complete the 250 words.

Is beautiful be a child!

When a was a child I liked play many games in team. In the school, with my classmates played at “Las Chapitas”. This game was of to build a tower with beverage caps.  Had two team. One was to build the tower and protect it, and the other team was destroy the tower with a ball of tennis.  

Everyone could play. And with many people was very funny. We played all the break. Just rang the bell for the break, we ran to win the yard of the school.

In my home, I was more old than the other children, so I was running games. We played games like “Alto Ahí!!”. For this game, we had a ball (of soccer or volleyball) and one kids throws high the ball saying a name (should be really name or name of country or name of fruit), and the boy named, he should catch the ball and say “Alto ahí!”. Then everyone stop of run, and the boy try “burn” to somebody with the ball.  

The girl or boy burned, lost one life. Was two or three.

And when I was Scout, I liked play  “Acecho”. It was like “las escondidas” but at night and in the nature. Generally in the forest, where had many trees and was very dark. But I chose good hiding places and almost never found me.

Is very beautiful be child, without big problems, and occupations. Just, play with other children and discover the meaning of friendship. I have very good friends of those year, yet.

The Greatest Chilean

I think than Violeta Parra was a visionary person. She had a hard life, but very interesting too. Besides being a great composer of famous songs like "Thanks to Life" “Gracias a la Vida”, “Arauco tiene una pena”,  “Casamiento de Negros” or “Run run se fue pa’l norte” y “Arriba quemando el sol” she was a great artist.

She was involve in the teather world too. In 1943 she joined to an a company of teather called “Violeta de Mayo” and to traveled for all Chile. Won poetry and singing contest. She worked in circus folk too.

In 1955, she received the award Folklorist Best of Year. In 1958 she founded in Concepción the National Museum of Chilean Folk Art.

When she had hepatitis, developed other of her skills and builder beautiful looms. Then, she exhibited his work in the firs fair outdoor of arts in the Parque Forestal.

In april of 1964 she exposes the burlap, oil painting and sculptures in wire in the Museum of Decoratives Art  in the Palace of Louvre.

In 1965 installed in the commune of La Reina a cultural center called “La carpa de la Reina”  very famous, because also, here was where she died.

I would have liked to visit all these places when Violeta lived. She is a great inspiration. We, like chilean we should to know to much about this wonderful woman and she have all my admiration and respect.

She is the great chilean, together to Victor Jara, of who I will talk in other opportunity.-
