The Winter


The season of the year that I like the most is the winter. I like it because it's a rainy season and I love the rain (of course when I'm wearing the appropriate clothes , not like today, well It's not my fault, I thought that today was gonna be a sunny day). I love winter clothes like coats because they're so warming and also beautiful. I have a lot of coats and I'm thinking about buying more for the next winter season. Also, I like to wear a scarf to protect my neck from the cold. I have a favourite scarf. It's white and very long and my mom made it for me at the beggining of the season. I used to use it everyday. I like to use wollen gloves of different colours too. Well, as you see, I love winter clothes.

I like winter more than summer because the cold is easier to led with than the hot of every sunny day. I mean, If you wear the appropriate clothes, as I said before, you're fine and you can go everywhere with no problem at all. But when it's hot, there isn't anything you can do to avoid it.

I think that Santiago looks more beautiful in winter, especially after a pouring rain, because after that, everywhere looks so clean, the sky turns from gray to blue and you can breath fresh air.

Where to go and what to do in Santiago?


Well, if a friend of mine would come to visite me from other country, the first place that I'd take her or him is to "Cerro San Cristóbal" because it's a beautiful place, with a lot of nature, it's like an oasis in the middle of the city. If you go there, you also can visit the "Jardín Japonés" and take some pictures, because it has a very oriental environment, it's like to be in Asia. After that, I'd take him (let's suppose that my friend is a boy) to walk around Providencia because that part of the city has so much things to see and places to visit. We can go to "Drugstore" which is like a place with a lot of stores and you can find things like sunglasses and different kinds of clothes. Then we can walk downtown or take a bus and we will arrive to "Plaza Italia", a famous place of Santiago, because people go there to celebrate sport triumphs. After that we can go to "Parque Forestal" and have an ice cream in "Emporio La Rosa" which is a good place to meet friends. After that I'd take him to Barrio Lastarria and we could watch a movie in "El Biógrafo" a very ancient cinema. Santiago has a lot of places to go, an every place can be a good place if you are in a good mood and with someone that you really care.
