bare-footed

On august 2000, she went to the North of Chile, Iquique. It was when they were together, they were gonna have a baby, but you couldnt see that yet. She was too thin. Anyways, his mom decided to go and visit a good friend and the family. The three traveled by plane for 3 hours and soon were far from Santiago. The family they visited was very happy to meet them. They had two nice boys who played all the time. In Iquique the weather was nice and the landscape so spectacular that made her feel good right away. The City made her remember the place were she was from, her bourn country, the Indigeneus woman sitting on the floor on the street, selling little mountains of chili, garlic, ect., with their children, bare-footed. The smell of that...that.

It was more than a year sinceshe didnt see those things, or even remember them, she was easy to forget some smells, some pictures, some feelings. She also wanted to go into the see, swim a little bit, but they just put their feet into the water and sat on the beach for a long time. The weather wasnt good, besides she was pregnant, it was dangerous.
One day they went to visit a ghost town. It was very nostalgic. She thought it seemed a city to play because everything was small, the little theater, the swimming pool, even downtown was made for few people. The small hospital, the bank and all the places were small. The atmosphere was special, it was nice, but at the same time she felt weird it was like nothing she had seen before.
In the town of Pica, she looked for lemon ice-cream like crazy, but never found a place that would sell it. They had mango ice-cream, it was ok.
They visit La Tirana, nice town too where there is a very beautifull church with some little stars painted on the silling. very cute.
At last they traveled through the desert, another new experience for her.

They spent about 10 days. It was an amazing trip. The North of Chile is wanderfull, she thought, now I have to visit the South.
