Rome

The last week i was in Rome. Rome is a precious city, and I went to see it with my mother and friends of her, when we arrived, the first thing that we did was see the Coliseum. It’s a bigger and impressive structure, when you see it you can’t believe it’s amazing. Once inside, you can see all the mythical places: the sand where the gladiators fight, the kings seats, passageways and doors through which came the gladiators, all was impressive, and is incredible to know that in the past people with a life was seated where you are now.

The Pantheon. When I see the Pantheon for first time I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A lot of big stone pillars stand to hold the massive structure. It was exciting to be in a place that often I had seen in movies or in books of history

The Trevi Fountain. This monument isn’t a normal source, occupies an entire building. In this source you have to throw a currency and say a wish, and the source grants it to you. It was a magic experience, touch the blue water close your eyes and know that you are in Rome, and in this moment, only in this moment you have the opportunity to say a wish to a mythical source. All the persons who go to Rome say a wish in the great source, my wish? Return.

Rome is a precious city and is full of big impressive monuments to see. I fall in love with Rome. But not only with the city, with the people too, was a great experience enter in a restaurant and listen the waitress saying with a smile in the face “Bon giorno”. It’s amazing walk in the Rome streets; eat pizza and pasta directly in Italy. Walk along the squares in the night and see people painting the most beautiful landscapes. Say goodbye to Rome was a hard thing but I know that I’m going to return soon :)

Navajas.

On august, my friend Sabina and i went to Navajas to spend one week in the field, in the house of a Friend of her mother. When we arrived to the house, we chose our room and we putted our clothes in the closet. The house hadn't got electricity so we spent the whole afternoon playing with cards and board games, with a friend of Sabina, Alexis. As we couldn't see in the dark, and the house hadn't got any light, we had lamps with solar panels that we recharge in the day. The firs night we ate pizza but all the people around me (except Sabina) was vegetarian and in this moments i thought i would die of hunger. Before went to sleep Sabina, Alexis and I, played with the cards again and that was very fun. The second day, Alexis had to go to Valencia at the birthday of one of his friens, so Sabina and i spent all the day alone. We swam in the "swiming pool" and played cards, we painted, we listen music with my mp4, it was a great day. At the night, we try to go to the town, but as we didn't know the path we had lost in the field and we had to return to house. Finally, the mother of Sabina, Cristina, decided to take us in car. We walked in the village and we buy sweets and ice cream, finally we sat a beautiful square and we talked about a lot of things along time. The third day at the morning we swam a little bit more in the "swiming pool" and then we go to the living room to play a strange board game: the transformation. While we was playing that game, the cat of the family was playing with a little mouse, we thought that this mouse was a toy but wen we see it further we saw that is too real to be a toy, so i said to Atma (Atma was the hostessand the mother of Alexis): Atma... the cat has got a toy mouse?.. then she said: No.. why?. Sabina and i began to run and laugh at the same time it was very funny. At the afternoon we decided to shave our legs and while we are with the wax strips stuck in our legs, Sabina putted her foot over something on the floor. She said to me: Paula.. what is this?. When i looked it i began to laugh, in the foot of Sabina, there was vomit of the dog. She went jumpinng with one leg as fast as she could with the wax still stuck. After that we went to "El salto de la novia" it's a famous place in Navajas. We enjoyed the afternoon there and we met people of Valencia. When we returned to the house, we found Alexis walking, and finally all together went to house. At the night we went to the village again but this time with Alexis, we walked and sat on the same square and we talked for one hour, it was so fun because we talked and talked and the themes never end. The fourth day we swam other time in the "swimming pool" and we maked or suitcases because our travel to Navajas finished here. I hope to return the next summer. :)

An alternative system.

A summer day four friends and me, went to Valencia to see a street market. When our mothers proposed the idea it sounded great, shopping for earrings and a lot of things, but when we arrived to the market we discovered that it wasn’t as we had imagined. It wasn’t a normal market. It was a kind of barter which isn’t paid in euros, was paid "Soles". It is a much more supportive and alternative system, the people associated exchange services, objects and knowledge. It’s a project by people for people, independent of political, religious or economic. For more information have a website: The creative network and solidarity.
While we were in the barter, “Canal 9” came to get an interview, and they make a video while we sold or bought items. It was a great day and I'm glad to have known this alternative system.

The maze

And she finally understood. He understood that you can’t live on memories, and there are moments that will never happen again. It was hard to see because she wouldn’t believe it, she refused the reality. Then there were the moment to put an end, the time to don’t continue lying to herself. Determined she goes to fix the situation, but again failed. She couldn’t leave all for that she had fought. She knew she had to do this, but she wouldn’t want to. She felt small and vulnerable, she wanted to grow but she had stalled, she walked and walked on a huge spiral of feelings that make she return to the starting point, as if it were a maze.
Lost, trying to find the exit but when she was moving the exit was more away. She closed his eyes and waited, just waited for something to happen, but nothing happened, and she had to walk again. Again he was about to start the maze whose output couldn't find. She kept looking for an exit, and this time it seemed that life had smiled her. For once she felt safe and was able to see the door which had been searching. She goes to the door and found a lock that only his words could open. Go through the door was one of the hardest things she did on his trip, she knew where that door would take her but not where it was going to take her. She crossed with the eyes closed and the door closed behind her. When she opened his eyes all had color, everything was illuminated. She found millions of smiles waiting for her. His mother received her with open arms, hugged her and comforted her by saying he had done the right thing. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on her mother arms, she was peaceful and once in live she was not afraid.
She opened her eyes; the old world of color is now showing grey and boring. In fact everything was just like yesterday, but her eyes had become a filter that didn't let in light. Desperate she asked what to do, what path had to take. Why it was all so difficult? Then she plunged into itself and she found the problem, her heart was still trapped in that maze. The memories and the continuing fight had filled her heart so much and it couldn't fit through that little door through which her body had passed. Paula.

Denia

The last weekend i was in Denia. Denia is a city in the province of Alicante. It's a beautiful city and it has many beaches. All the days i went to the beach whith my friends, Marina and Mireia and we swam and enjoyed the afternoon under the sunlight. It was a great experience. I love the beach because is a quiet place, you can lie over the warm sand, and hear the sound of the waves. In the nights near of the beach there is a Hippie market, and we go here to buy some bracelets, anklets or hippie trousers. And when we went to house, all the nights we saw films in the television, films like Catwoman, Origen or Grease. I love Denia and i hope to return soon with my two friends.

Le cirque du Soleil. Corteo.

The last Thursday I went to see Corteo. This is a circus show. I love this show because is magic. In it you can see people flying. The history is about a man who dies, is about his travel to go to the sky. There were times that i couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Everything was colorful, and everywhere you could find actors and actresses filled the stage with their talent and their magic, they could make all smile. It was an unforgettable experience, the show make that you feel emotions, it surprised you, made ​​you smile and sometimes scared you and put you into tension, it appeared that we are a fair story or in a magical dream. I had already gone before to see a show of "Le cirque du soleil" but I was just a kid and I don’t remember anything. I think that all the people must go to see a show like this at least once in live.

These were some of my favorite characters were two very small artists interpreting a love story.
It was like a gang of children playing, jumping on a fluffy bed and doing acrobatics.
Four women are coming down from heaven, they're the old lovers of the dead clown. They perform aerial acrobatics on three giant chandeliers that spin on the bed of the clown.
In this fascinating performance. A duet on aerial straps captivates audiences with his elegant and magical complicity, to demonstrate agility, balance and strength.The show also had funny parts and that is one of them.
A delicate show between the clown and his little clown who enchants everyone with sweetness.
And of course a circus show isn't a good show without juggling.

CORTEO....
