The story of a picture
This might look a bit naive but , let me tell you, it is alcohol!, it was taken at a pub in Paris, in a bar across from Place Vendome. I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic and alternative side of the city.
This picture is a portrait of the memories I have from my best holiday ever, and even though I haven’t had many superb holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more than anything else, I have had some memorable ones.
It was the year 2008, if I don’t remember incorrectly; and I was under big stress because I had had several problems at my job. Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place I used to work for and they told me: “here you are”… it was a NICE, FAT Christmas bonus.
That day, I was with a friend of mine, and after hearing that I had received my present, she shouted at me, from the entrance: “Man!!!! Let’s go out!!!”….
Two hours later, we were hiking around Paris Downtown, we meant to tour as much as posible, getting to see idilic landscapes and also, both being teachers, we wanted to share with the locals and not visiting the typical touristic places.


We toured around Montmartre, the Quartier Latin, and the Quartier de L'Opéra -where the picture was taken. We spent nearly the whole afternoon walking around, very lost until we ended up in the strangest bar, where drinks were all related to Hospital which we thought was very original. From that improvised adventure, there are many stories we can both tell our children, and other thousand anecdotes, I cannot let you know in this blog entry’s extension.

Post 9 :  A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester Write about your favorite subject this term. Among others, include: > Name > Describe what you do in classes > Mention the main contents you have seen > Explain why you like the subject > Word Count: 190 > Make comments on 3 of your patners' posts and on your Teacher's. As a child, I really liked studying but I honestly disliked going to school because I felt I couldn't learn much and I used to see the institution with remorse for being more than a school, a jail to me. I also disliked the type of things we had to learn, but all in all, I started to really enjoy a class where we had to use tools to build pieces of furniture, small robotic devices, etc.  The class does not exist in the school system anymore, it was called "Técnico Manual" I remember the biggest challenge when I decided to work with metal and welding tools. It was just great! I could s...

Post 4 Dear all: today is a free topic, we will start with Childhood Series. You have to structure a text telling us about the programmes you used to watch, as a child.   - Comment on your teacher's post and also make a comment on 3 of your classmates' posts - Word Count for this post : 140 words   Example: Childhood Series Believe it or not, when I was a child there weren't many series on TV, besides, I used to live in the 8th region, in a lost town in the middle of nowhere and we did not receive much technology nor state of the art cinema, theatre, cultural venues, etc. It was the late 80's and national TV was the only option available, and consequently, the very limited programming they offered and the series that you could see were quite classical, the typical Disney style, with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and my favourite: Goofy. I cannot tell you that I really remember their adventures on screen, because I was less than 5 years old, bu...
