Summer Holidays

                                           Summer Holidays

Let me tell you some ephemeral and hazy memories, but  the most beautiful and happiest ones  I lived being a child. Despite I´m used to forgetting my life events and almost everything, here is my story.


My family and I would go to La Trinchera beach every summer. We went  camping there for a week. As most of the people camping in the same area, we slep in a tent. We  got used to sleeping in a tent since we were 6 people for just a small one.
We used to wake up early, but my parents used to get up first. Everyday they  lit a  fire to put the kettle on and cook.  After lunch, my brother and I would swim until the sun went down, and we used to compete  to get  the  other edge of the river in less time;unfortunately, I always lost because my brother swam faster than me.  My sisters used to walk by the beach and picked up shells, and sometimes they went into the water and got their feet wet. At night, I would look at the stars, waiting for seeing a falling star to make a wish. When getting home, I got to used to the furniture and the issue of living in a house...that was a weird sense of disorientation. However, the experience of living in a place with no comforts made me feel free and and think that time had stopped.

...Hoping to revive those memories some day :)
