Trips, trips, more trips
Hello Stephen:
Perhaps you are thinking which I took days off for blogging, aren`t you?. Well let me explain you and to our readers. These days are the busiest days of the year in my office, there are many things to do, all our costumers want their annual report, so we are very bussy.
The last Tuesday, at nigth, my boss called me when I was enjoying my day off and he asked me to travel again!!!!, Well I was not very excited, you know, I had arrived, but I had to accept, because is my work, could I do anything else?.
I had to travel to Huaraz, another northern city in Peru, where is the second biggest gold mine of Peru, called Pierina. I went with three engeeniers more, we had to recolect information for our final report. So I spend two days in Huaraz.
Huaraz is a small city in the middle of the highest and most beautiful mountains of Peru. In this city is placed the third most highest mountain all over the world, called Huascaran, the top is 6.746 meters above sea level. but the city is placed only 3800 meters above sea level. The weather is cloudy and rainy now, so is almost impossible to see the mountain, but when the day is sunny, you can see a big mountain covered with snow.
Of course I couldn`t go for a walk or treking by those beautiful places, because I was working. But I always try to enjoy all my trips. As you can see, The Huascaran is a beautiful mountain, but it isn`t the only one in Huaraz, there are many snow-capped mountains and Huaraz is well-konw by mountain climbers all over the world. but, as I said, I only went to Huaraz for work, I can´t belived.
I arrived to Lima, yesterday at 10:00 pm. the journeys is easy and it isn`t long, it takes about five hours, as maximum and the road is asphalted so there are not problems with landslides.
I am pleased for your comments about my stories, but I have never written stories, I think I am better reader than writer. And you make me laugh when you said which I will forget you when I will be a famous and rich writer, you are very funny Stephen. but this blog is helping me in improve my writer skills.
Well, On Christmas time I am going to go to my aunt`s house, we will eat turkey of course, whit pannetone and a cup of hot chocolate. I will miss to my parents, my brother and sister of course, but I am sure which they will be happy at home. I can`t go to Talavera because the trip es very long, it takes about 20 hours by bus, and I only have four days off for Christmas. So is impossible for me travel to being with them, but I will have another chance to be with them soon. I spend Christmas with my friends too, We are going to go to the beach, I am learning surfing, so I will smming the whole day.
I bought gifts one week ago. I bought a book called Kant and the Duck-billed platypus for my father , he likes read philosophical books, so I think he will enjoy with this book for a long time, I tried to read it, but it is very harded to understand it. For my Mam, I bougth a collection of Cuban Music, he likes a lot it and for my brother I get a Scout book, because he is Scout and he likes Scout`s stuffs and finally I give a big Chocolate`s Box to my sister, because she loves eating chocolates, chocolates are her weaknees. I will wait for her presents...
As I can`t give personally my gifts, I sended with my sister which is travelling today to Talavera, she will be there for two weeks, I hope that she wait until Christmas eve to eat her chocolates.
I was reading the news and I found which there are problems with the weather in Europe, and I read weather is frezzing. I think the global weather is changing fastly, here in Peru, now it´s boiling, but is unusual because the hotest month is February.
Here in Peru, there many home medicine to flu or cold, the most popular is a glass of lemmon juice with honey and of course stay in bed. Another way to recover your health is boiling a big pot with Eucalipthus leaves, and breathing the steam.
Well Stephen, I hope you recovered soon, be careful with the cold and snow.
With best wishes
Federico

Hello Federico The thought of you spending Christmas day on the beach is fabulous. Stephen's comment about his personal campaign so people stop believing that London is in permanent fog made me smile because i have had to do the same. Many of my relatives in France feel sorry for me because they think i have to live in a dark and foggy city and they look surprised when i show them pictures of my sunny garden. The last two days have been very unusual. Enjoy the Peruvian sunshine and have a lovely Christmas!
Hi Federico, It's my first time joining this place. And of course I find it very useful. I'm from Thailand and love English! The traveling is good, no matter it is for business or holiday, at least it makes us see what we may never see. I also like traveling, although I seldom have a change to do so. Nice to meet you and read your story! :D Merry Christmas! Have a nice day!
hi federico . How are you ? what about your sister ? I have a suggestion for avoiding spelling mistakes .If you have a OFFICE software in your computer ,then you can first type your blogs in WORD software so while you make a mistake it marks wrong words . I use this way for speedly correction of my writing . Have a funy cristmas eve ? bye bye
It is great story . I need to travelling in that place . For example ,Huascaran. I like snow in the mountain as your picture ,you show .
HAPPY NEW YEAR....
i like this story very much,because our country looks like as yours.
hi,Federico,I love the picture; it looks fascinating.In Taiwan we rare have the chance to see snow ,only in some mountain in winter.Therefore, I always dream for a white Chrismas. The picture just made up for my craving for a white Christmas. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Hi Federico, you are really lucky. I have never seen snow in my life and therefore I have never done a snowman. Before Christmas, I spent some days at Domingos Martins which is a cold place in the mountains but they use to mimic the effect of snow with little bowls of soap during the Christmas time at night. Your sister is welcome to the club of people that don't live without chocolate. I am solidary with her because I suffer of the same thing. You can have a notion if I mention that I live in the land of chocolate. Have you ever heard about "Chocolates Garoto"? It's the most famous factory of chocolate of Brazil and I live close to it. It's hard to refuse chocolate but we have to be slim...
