my best memory: batuco day

I have been in beautiful places like Chiloe,  Valdivia, Argentina, Brasil, Italy, a lot of places with history. But in the year 2016 I went to a different place, far away. It is 36 km at the north of Santiago, in the Lampa commune, that place is called Batuco.

Batuco isn`t like the rest of Santiago, It isn`t a city with a lot of buildings,. Every Batuco resident is relaxed, happy, because they sow their own food like potatoes, apples, or carrots, so they don`t have to have office or boring works. They also breed horses and cows to eat. But some young people want to have another life in the city,  and study something. I met in 2012 in the school a young man ( and dear friend) that lived in Batuco, his name is Manuel, and he`s known as matoletepete, 1nomanos, or chinoy.

In a warm day in Janury (2016) he asked us (me, and my friends) if we wanted to go to Batuco, obviously we accepted with the exception of Goyo, he had more important thing to do.

The journey to Batuco was long and exhausting, we had to take a bus in La Paz terminal, then we  got off the bus, then we had to walk, to walk a LOT but everything was woth it, we could see the large fields with potatoes, big herds. I really enjoyed it.

I have to say: Chinoy if you read this I love U <3.
