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 :)

The hound of the Baskervilles

The legend says that a terrible hound of the hell is killing all the Baskervilles; it says that the animal spits fire from his mouth. This is the history: a years ago Hugo Baskerville, was a terrible and cruel man, he enjoyed his time making people suffer. One night while he was walking in the forest with his hounds, one hound bigger and stronger appears between the trees, the hound kills Sir Hugo. Days later he was found die in the forest; his eyes were burning brightly and his body shone with a strange light, blood run out from his mouth.

Nobody knows nothing about how Hugo die, but years later, sir Charles, the Baskerville who inherits all the fortune, was found die in the forest too, the police said that it could be a heart attack. But nobody knows the truth. Now, Sir Henry, the last Baskerville is in danger, and he decides to call the only person who can help him, the greatest detective of all the time, Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes doesn’t believe in supernatural histories and he decides to investigate the case. He discovers that a man is behind all the murders. The man’s name is Stapleton, and he is a Baskerville too, he wants to kill all his family because the Baskervilles are very rich, and he wants to get all the money. Stapleton is married and nobody knows that he is a Baskerville he makes people think that he is a humble man. He have a big hound and he put phosphorus in the skin of it, he calls the Baskervilles to go to his house, and when his prey is in the forest, he makes the hound kill.

This is one of the hardest cases from Sherlock Holmes but one more time, Sherlock, discovers Stapleton and saves Sir Henry from the hands of the most terrible criminal.

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. :)
