Hello Everyone,
Since we started today’s class talking about the past, we will continue to do so but now we will read and write about it.
Today I'd like to tell you about a place I have enjoyed. The truth is, I have been lucky enough to visit several places. Having said this, there are still a lot of places I'd like to visit in and outside Chile.
Even though there are many places in the north and south of our country I could mention because Chile is an AMAZING coutry, today I'll refer to a place I fell in love with in 2010. This is a National park called “Abel Tasman” in the north of the south island of New Zealand. I guess the reason why I liked it so much has to do with many factors. It was a very particular day which started cloudy but it was sunny at times. I think it also rained at one point. I did a 4 hour- walk through this park which had some really dry bits, some really wet parts, deserted bits, and dark areas due to the thick vegetation. I also got to meet people from different places. I even got to hear some Chileans on the ferry crossing from one island to the other. 


The most amazing thing about it was the giant ferns (helechos). I had never seen such big ferns before. They were actual trees (They are a national symbol of NZ). Moreover, I got to see a number of birds & insects and the whole scenery was awesome. 
What I really like best about New Zealand in general is how “relaxed” people seem. Even in Auckland! I guess it has to do with the fact that there are so few people (Around 4 million in the whole country!). You can travel for miles and not see anyone. I really like that.
