Hello,

This time I’m going to talk about a special spot: Saltos del Petrohue. I visited this place with my family in summer of 2010, when I was 15 years old. In this holiday, we went to X region to go across towns next to Llanquihue Lake and to be in Puerto Montt. I remember that I was really excited with the trip, because of I had never visiting the south of Chile. And the experience was better that my expectations.

We visited many places, most of them are very nice, but Saltos del Petrohue was the place that really attracted my attention. Saltos del Petrohue it is a natural drainage of Todos los Santos Lake, so it’s a natural waterfall. I very liked it because Saltos del Petrohue is really impressive place. I remember that when we were walking through its tracks, the nature dazzled us with their trees, their native vegetation and the little lakes; it is a spot where you may be during a full day. But that was nothing compared with the waterfall. I don’t know how I can describe my first feelings when I saw Saltos: a mix of excitement, one feeling of inferiority faced with the power of nature, and inner peace, is, perhaps, the better description. For this mix, I suggest to visit Saltos, to live the experience.

Anyways, I think that to know the place is better see it than to read a description. So I share you a photo of Saltos del Petrohue. As saying says a picture talks more than one thousand words.

Bye!

Hello!

This afternoon I have to talk about my favourite song. Actually, I don’t have a favourite song, because of I think there are a lot of great songs of different styles of music. Besides, I think songs get other meaning if they are listened in their own context, namely: records. Many times we listen to songs which attract our attention. Even, those songs appear time after time in our minds; we like them and we don't get tired of listening to the same song again and again. But when we listen to the record which the song is part of, the song can be better.

So, I prefer to talk about a record than a song: In the Court of the Crimson King by the English band King Crimson. It is a progressive rock album and it was recorded in 1969. I had heard about King Crimson many times before, but I never listened to their songs and records until two year ago. That time I listened In the Court… and I remember that I thought something as: “wow where were you all my life?”. 

I like it very much because it’s a brilliant album. Their five songs are connected between them perfectly, in such a way that you can imagine a story as you listen to the record (it’s a real trip). Besides musicians who formed King Crimson are geniuses, as much creativity as skills.

I share to you “21^st Century Schizoid Man”, the first song of this record (I would post the full album, but as YouTube administrators and their security policies are friends of copyright policies and great fascists, there are not a video of the full record)
