A Holiday as a Child

 

When I was 12 years old we went on vacation with my family, my father, my mother and my brothers to Mar del Plata, Argentina, I remember that I went to the beach and we saw many theaters. We stayed in a hotel that had a pool, but we also went to the beach and there was a lot of noise at night. We also ate a lot of empanadas, dulce de leche, milanesas and facturitas. But I especially remember the time we went to a candy store and I chose some chocolates, I think it's the sweetest thing I've ever eaten.







Mar del Plata is a city in Argentina, located in the Atlantic Sea, very close to the City of Buenos Aires, during the summer it is full of tourists, while Buenos Aires is faster with many cars and more tourist places such as the Obelisco, the Corrientes Street, the Boca and River Plate stadiums, la Casa Rosada etc. But I like Mar del Plata more, everything is calmer, you can see beautiful landscapes, beaches and the port, which is not very pretty. During the nights there is a lot of noise and you cannot sleep, but the beach is much quieter although there are many people and it is difficult to walk and get to the water.

A Hobby


I'm going to tell you about my hobby. My hobby is drawing; When I was 4 years old I started to draw, I drew only with a bic blue pencil, but later I tried another pencil and watercolor, watercolor is very easy, because you make mistakes, you put more water on it. To draw I need paper, pencil, brush, water and color. The hardest part of my hobby is knowing what to draw, sometimes I don't know what to draw. I draw very often, because studying architecture requires drawing buildings and spaces. I enjoy my hobby because I can express my idea, drawing is a way through which I think with my hand.








This is a drawing from the movie The Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa, sometimes I like to draw movie scenes, light and darkness are very important to Kurosawa.
