A travel with friends


This is a really important picture for me. Obviously, is not a Big Picture, or a beautifull picture and neither an work of art. His importance is in his sentimental value.

This picture was taked this summer, during the Carnal of Oruro, in Oruro -obviously-, Bolivia. It was taken by a chilean boy -I can't remember his name- who shared the accommodation with us. But he wasn't traveled with us.

Bolivia is a country with wonderful traditions, and one of the most important are the Carnavales. The Carnaval of Oruro it's the most famous, because many people from Bolivia and the world -especially from other countries of South America- make a "pilgrimage" to the city. During three days -all the day, even the night-, all is music, dance, drink, food and happiness in the city.

Those days of carnival are the reasons because this picture is importante to me. Reflects happy days, and our life style in those days too. A friend who saw this picture, says we lived like hippies in the sixties. That comment maked me fun, because it was true.

In the picture, we can see from the left to the right: Me -with the guitar-; Pancho, an old friend from the school; Negro, another old friend; Vicho, the pancho's brother; Natalia, my best friend from the university -she studies sociology, like me- and Lisandro with Vicky, two big friends from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We know they at the first week in Bolivia, in Uyuni, and after that, we travel all together. Lisandro studies sociology in the Universidad de Buenos Aires -the most important university in Argentina- and Vicky studies psychology in the same university. They are boyfriends.

I really love this picture, because those days were wonderful, and I really love the people in that picture.
