Family Meal

A Family Meal: Christmas dinner

When I was a little girl and since a few years ago my family and I  were used to celebrate Christmas and New Year together, and I used to prepare almost the whole meal by myself, including the main dish (which was normally stuffed turkey breast, yumi yumi) and the dessert, and my grandma used to prepare salads and  appetizers .

One year  (maybe four or five years ago) my brother Felipe and I decided to make something different for that dinner so we made ricotta and mozzarella raviolones (big ravioli), with tomato and béchamel sauce, salads and raspberry panna cotta for the dessert. We prepared the ravioli the day before and went to sleep, but the next morning we discovered that our ravioli were all ruined!! So we had to call our mom and ask her for help, we were desperate :c

Well, at the end we had to remade all the ravioli, and hope for the best.

That night we went to my Lela’s house (my grandma) to prepare dinner, there was my aunt Paola and her husband Roland , their son Totito, my mom and dad (Claudia y Claudio) and my brother Felipe and my little sister Almendra. When we were there I cooked the ravioli, made the salsa, and we prepared everything to enjoy our meal.

The dinner tasted really good! And I don’t say that just because I made it, everyone was happy eating, and my brother and I were happier because of our good work, despite of all the inconvenient we had the day before.

One thing I learned that day was not to make ravioli again in my life, instead of that I decided to prepare only spaghetti and fettuccini because they’re easier to make.

Cartagena Beach

Cartagena Beach

As a geography student I have to go to a few fields visits during the semester, depending of the subject I have taken. On the last semester I went to Cartagena Beach with all my classmates of the course of Sea Geography, we went to see and measure several features of the beach and the sea, and we made an analysis of them after that.
 

When we arrived to Cartagena there was a nice weather, the sun was shining and there were a really cute puppy on the street (that was one of the best things of the day). The problem I had that day was the wind, which made me feel really cold and wanting to be in my bed.



That's me, feeling cold because of the wind : (

When we were on the beach we had to measure the height of different point of the beach, so one of my classmates had to stand in the water as a reference point so the others could make them work. It was fun, at least for us who were dry and warm watching him getting cold in the water, it was on June, so I imagine that he must suffer a little bit on that moment. After that we did exactly the same in other points of the bay, and two more classmates has to do the same sacrifice of getting in the water for us.

It wasn’t the best field visit I have had in my life, but at least I had some fun watching the sea and clouds, which were really beautiful that day. And at the end there started to rain a little, so it made my day better, and we had to leave because of that.
