My Favourite Beach

I was born in Santiago, but I grown with my grandmother in Cauquenes, VI region of Maule. Cauquenes don’t have a beach, but some 45 minutes to the east is Pelluhue. The best of this beach is that have a moth of the Mariscadero River. The river when arrived into the beach produces a little lagoon.

Pelluhue is a very beautiful place, is a mixture between field and bech, and have kilometers of this. Another thing to attractive me for Pelluhue is that is a very quiet and pacific village, few peoples live here.

When I was a child, we go in family to this beach, and when come to live in Santiago, I went every summer.

The tranquility of this lagoon was the better place to learn to swim. Is practically impossible learn to swim in the ocean, overcoat the wind in the region is very strong, and the waves too. But, when I grown up, I started to swim in the sea with my experience in the river. Really, is not difficult, you have to respect the ocean, not have scare.

Unfortunately, this beach was destroying for the earthquake and the seaquake of the 27 February of last year. The tsunami destroy the recently inaugurate track in the coast, and a group of houses near to the sea.

Another negative point from the seaquake 27F, was that sea have a lot of rubble, is impossible to swim in there. Although each day to be less.

     

An outdoor activity I enjoy doing

I enjoy doing a lot of activities. The most important are the activities in the nature, like mountain climbing, bicycle, and long walk in the hills.

But, undoubtedly, the activity that more enjoy is play baby football.  Baby football is a kind of football that you play in a little concrete field. The teams have 4 players and 1 goalkeeper.

Baby football is more dynamic than football, because the spaces are smaller. That makes it more fun and intense.

Since I was child, I like play and watch football, is a sport to have fun.  When I was 12 years old, I started to play baby football particularly in the breaks at school.  When I was 15 years old I started to play tournaments in the school, and 1 year later, I was part of the selection of my school. Whit this team play a lot of match with other schools.

Then represent the school in various inter-school tournaments in wich didn't have much success, but it was a very nice experience.

Today, whenever I can play baby football. Is not only a sport, also helps de-stress, release tension and have fun.
