The ending and the beginning

      The semester is ending and it's time to do a little review about it.     For me, this second half of the academic year was busy, but quiet and more relax in comparative with the last semester I had Workshop. I have had more time to do my duties, college works and other recreation activities. However, as usual in me, I procastinated a lot and many times I've been "running" to finish homeworks or projects, but now this academic year is ending and I gladly will not run anymore -until next semester-.     My favourite subjects in this period were Crítica de la Arquitectura: I like subjects relationated with history so I enjoyed this one.

Go out to "vitrinear"

It was a shame, but even we can´t reach our original objective look the landscape and the sun falling down was a very unique and special moment for all of us. It was 2019 when my cousin Carlos called me to invite me to go with him and his son to Mirador de Cóndores, a viewpoint in Cajón del Maipo in Cordillera de los Andes that is over 2000 meters above sea level where you can see cóndores flying between the mountains and the sky. After his call, I went to stay in his house to go from there to the viewpoint and then the next day arrived and we got prepared for hour trip. It was long one and a half hours of travel by car and another 2 hours of going up the steep path to reach our goal. Sadly, we saw any birds and we planned wrong our trip. When we arrived to
