Hello, my dear readers. This is Anna and I want to continue a story about my tourist experience. The last time I told you about the first trip in my life – the unforgettable trip to Paris.
Today I tell you about the second tourist trip.
As you know from my last story, my boyfriend Alexander is a main manager in a travel agency. His job is very interesting and exciting. And Alexander is unusual guy too. At the beginning of February he informed me that he had to go to Chile to work and he asked me to go together. I was not just surprised but shoked a little. We were in Paris two months before this and I was not ready for a new trip. But I can not lose such chance! And February 12th we were in a plane.
To be honest, Chile is not a country of my dream or a top place in my wish-list to visit. But it was my second trip only and was glad to see any place in the world. Secondly, Chile is situated on Pacific Ocean coast and I can not resist a tempation to see an ocean.
The place of our destination was San Antonio. This is a pretty calm town by the beach. This place was like a magic for me: warm, sunny, bright and exotic. New people (smiling and friendly), new culture, new language (Spanish is official, but some locals speak English and German), new nature and the Pacific Ocean – this is the biggest miracle. I was feeling like on the edge of the earth, there was only great water before me. And I was like a little grain of sand, which is defenseless against the power of nature.
Alexander had some meeting and visits and I had a sunbathe (it was 22 C). We walked the town, visited small cafes and local shops together, watched traditions and habits of Chile people (I understood that family and children are very important in Chile). I was glad with ripe strawberry and flavored cherry – it was a February magic.
One of my great impressions were bike tours. Three days in a row we had rented bikes and went for a drive. I was happy like a child. The ocean, nice weather and landscapes, new acquaintance and communication, my sweetheart was close to me and we were happy.
In our last evening in San Antonio we made a barbecue on the balcony, eat grilled sausages, watched the starry sky and spoke about the vastness and uniqueness of our planet. 10 days in new country, on the new continent, between new people were memorable and informative.
This trip made us more happy and full of life. I am grateful to Alexander for such the ability to open and explore the world.
And I had realized: the more you travel, the more new places you want to visit! I think this is a travel law.
So, be open for new chances, acquaintances, discoveries and you will be full of vitality.
