Bariloche

One year ago, I went to Bariloche with my friends last week. We got there by
plane and we stayed for five days.

It was an amazing trip! Fortunately everything was good! Except for the time
we have to wait for our flight and the food on the plane.

I have never been to Bariloche before, so when we arrived there, I saw that
beautiful city for first time and landscape was amazing! like a postcard.

We stayed in a hostel, it was a very good idea, because it wasnt expensive, it

was clean, with private bathrooms and a bar and dining room. And people
were very nice and friendly.

We did several activities such as the ascent to Campanario Hill, where you
can have a great view. From there you can see Nahuel Huapi Lake, Otto Hill
and Victoria Island. You can ascend to this hill walking or by chairlift. We did
by chairlift.

Our second and third day we stayed at Catedral Hill to ski, you can spend the
whole day, and you have stops to rest and eat something at noon. In the
afternoon, we went to the base of the hill to the hill to drink chocolate or beer.

On the fourth day, we went to Otto Hill, there you can walk and have a drink
in the rotary confectionery. Our last day, we took the day to rest and bought
souvenirs, and of course, we bought chocolate, in fact, I have chocolates for
you at home right now!

My last winter vacation

On my last winter vacation, I stayed at home and I studied a lot, because I

had an oral exam two weeks ago, and Im still studying because I going to
have another oral exam this Friday.

But, anyway, I spent time with my friends: at night, we ate pizza or

hamburger and drank beer and soda. And I also, spent time with my family, on
Sunday midnight, and we ate barbecue, actually, I dont like barbecue, but I
always eat anyway, if I dont have other options.

My last summer vacation

My last vacation was in January. With my family and my friend we went to

Guaratuba, Bazil. We stayed there for two weeks.

We got there bay car. On the trip, fortunately, everything was good, except for
the time it lasted.

During the day the weather was sunny and hot but at night it sometimes
rained. However, it wasnt a day when we didnt enjoy the beach.

About the beach, it was ok, because there were a lot people on the beach. The
water was clean and warm.

The city was small, but with many bars and restaurants, and shopping, where
you can buy souvenirs.

What I did this weekend

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning got up early, I studied. I didnt go

out to eat I didnt spend time with my friends and family, because I going to
have an oral exam next Friday.
