Family meal - Elena

 Hi Fau Bloggers,

Today I will talk about a family dinner which took place 2 years ago. 

To begin with, I don't really have a big family like some people might have. So for me one of my biggest family event was with "just" eleven people.

We were in Spain, in my grandparents house. The whole family reunited ! or just the one on my mother's side. The villa is located in "Calonge", Costa Brava, Cataluna. If you don't see it's near Gerona or Barcelona. The house is big enough to accomodate everyone, plus the dog ! 

It was also a symbolic moment. First because it's been a long time since we all got together. This part of my family is the international type : my oncle and aunt live in Saudi Arabia, My big cousine moved to Mexico, my other cousine is in Barcelona and the last cousine in Rouen (France). Not to mention my grandparents who spend six months in France and then six months in Spain. As for my parents is more easy because they didn't moved from France. Then it was an importante moment for all the family. Because that was the last time we saw my grandparents house in Spain.

Concerning the meal: It was Christmas dinner the december 25 at noon.  We all participate to the preparation. Some were in charge of setting the table, others of cooking the meal and the rest of making the crowd laugh and playing music. It was so fun and pleasant to spend finally time together.

I don't clearlly remember the menu but I think we started with the famous Franco-spanish aperitif, typical of the family Del Pozo. Then we ate "Hachis parmentier" (typical french dish with potatoes and minced meat, onions, gqrlic and milk) with a salad. And finally, the master piece. My mother's famous cakes : "Framboisier", "Tarte à la pomme et chantilly maison" and " Fraisier". 

And then we shared and offered the gifts ! Best moment ever !

So a perfect moement, full of memories and love.

Hi FAU Bloggers, On this beautiful day i like to write about the travel i did last weekend. I was lucky to do a little travel with ñy friend Noemie during one week.We left Santiago and took the plane destination Calama on the Friday morning at about 4am. Yes it was really early but to have the cheapest you don't have the choice. So the aventure begin with a long driving bus trip to join San Pedro de Atacama. Then when we arrive we decided to fine a Tour compagny. The objectiv was to travel during 4 days in the "salares de Uyuni". It was really expensive, but we finally find one affordable or i hope the cheapest. ;)) The next day we were ready !!! At 7am a bus took us to the border and we left Chile for Bolivia. I don't know if it's a good idea to tell you all in detail, i think i prefer tell you just some places that we saw with a little photography if I can and a comment with each one.   Photography of the first day at the airport. We were really tired... During

More than a Friendship

Hi FAU Bloggers, Today I'm going to tell you the wonderful story of Maelys and Elena's relationship. Maelys is, of course, my best friend. It's easy to guess that we're about the same age, or close to it, given that Maelys was born in 2002 and I in  2003.  We met a long time ago, precisely 11 years ago now !!!! Wow, I didn't realize time go so fast.  We simply met at school , when we entered "collège" in France, which is equivalent to "educacion General basica" in Chile, if I'm not being silly. We were part of a group of 5 friends at the beginning, which has now changed of course...  At first we didn't really like each other, but as the years went by, and particularly at the end of secondary school, we started to get closer and share moments/activities together. And yes, the very foundation of our friendship began when we took up badminton together at school. We were a great team and got on very well together. Team competitions further
