Don´t have my favorite photo.

The photography that most I like already is not in my possession and don’t remember when and where I had lost it, just I know that is not in my possession. This was my favorite photo because I am on an old train in motion and I am hung in an open door, really all doors were open. My sister took the photo with an old camera, so she told me “smile” and Flash… She took me the photo. In that photo I was with short hair and beard, also I was using a dark glasses and I was smiling. This was in six years ago in the summer of 2002; then I went to Concepcion for work in the distributing the telephone guide, and when the work finished I went to Negrete, a little town near to “los Angeles” and I was going by train with my mom, my sister and a pair of cousins. Was a travel very funny and in the photo is show the same, so is my favorite photo.

A country I would like to visit.

I would like know many countries in the different continents, for example in Asia I would like know Nepal that is a country of the ancient traditions and infrastructure, in Europe I would like visit Greece and the classic culture, in Africa… all the continents, in Oceania New Zealand and the Maoris. But the country that really I would like know is Peru and Bolivia and the northeast of Argentina. This is a geographical zone where it generates much of the history of the Andean peoples, the ancient cultures in Peru as Nazca or the Tiwanaku in Bolivia also the Atacameños and Aymaras in Chile and Argentina and after the Incas in these four countries make my favorite area for to visit because these cultures are the base for the actual territorial configuration and the borders only break the millennial cultural exchange. So I don’t want visit a special country but rather a geographical area with a common past and an uncertain future for the borders cause. Really I would prefer go alone to this zone because is necessary to find oneself and speak with people that not always understand why every time are people questions the same things and never happen nothing, and for answer some time is best to be alone. I would like do a great search about the migration in this zone and the actual cultural exchange, a line very little worked by the geography.

My best Field Trip

My best Field Trip was this summer, I went to San Pedro de Atacama, a little town in the second region, and this is a town with a long history, more than 5.000 years and with agriculture systems nearby to 2.500 years. I went to this Field Trip only for casually, one day the teacher Enrique Aliste realized an invitation to participle in a search about the irrigation in San Pedro de Atacama with a geographer of the University of Chile, he is Raúl Molina and other professionals of others Universities, as an anthropologist of the University Christian humanism, and a geographer of Catholic University. Also I went with others classmate from here. In the beginning I went for know a new beautiful place, but when I began to work and know the local reality I wanted to continue research about irrigation and the competition for the water in this arid zone and I became this search in my professional practices. Went we were there was really funny, we worked all day and in the night we drank in a pub called “All Natural” and there we spoke about the day work, drinking a delicious piscola and smoking a delicious cigarette and others things. Also I learned to dance “Tinkú” a traditional dance of the zone, was really an unforgettable experience.
