A weekend runaway to Bolivia

It was on summer of 2014, we were coming back from Tacna, when my best friend said we should go to Bolivia. And we did... The next day!

With only one week of vacations left, we didn't have much time to spare, so we just did crazy plans and stick to them: day 1 La Paz, day 2 Isla del Sol, day 3 back to La Paz, and then back home. We got a hostel reservation, got into a bus and the adventure started.

I would say this were the best holidays of my life (so far) not because of the trip by itself, but for all the fun we had, and the amount of things we did, that were far more than you could imagine for two people on a 4 day roadtrip. 

Everything turned out really well, our hostel had a bar where we met plenty other travelers, and the trip to Isla del Sol was simply amazing: to get there we took a yacht from Copacabana to the island, and we sat right on the prow and enjoyed an amazing view all the way to the island. Once we got there, we took a walking tour through the ruins and the landscapes. Everyhting was so magic, that I couldn't help believing all the myths about the Isla del Sol - It's clearly a very special place.

The third day we just kept enjoying all the great things La Paz has to offer, and then took the bus back home. It was definetely my craziest runaway so far... But not the last!

Pink skies will keep you warm

Hello my friends! This is my first post for the English level IV class, and today i'll write about a country i'd like to visit. 

I've always wanted to go to Sierra Leone, because it makes me curious to get to know such a different place, with different costumes and culture. Sierra Leone is a muslim republic from West Africa. Freetown - named that way after the liberated slaves from other African countries settled there - it's Sierra Leone's capital and largest city. 

It's known for being a religiously tolerant country, because of it's mixtured population (60% muslims, 30% afrikaans religions and 10% christian), who are united by the Krio lenguage, which is spoken by the vast majority of it's inhabitants.

Regardless I want to -at least- visit Sierra Leone, given the fact that it is one of the world's poorest countries, if I had the chance I'd like to work there and contribute to it's development and to their people's welfare. 

To finish, here you can see a picture of Sierra Leone's pink skies - beautiful, isn't it?
