2010 Vacation

Today Im going to talk about my family vacation in February, 2010. I was 13 years old,  we went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my brothers and mother. we traveled becuase we went to a  Coldplay`s concert, it was awesome! We had a lot of fun.

We walked a lot and went sightseeing to many touristic places; everything went fine the first days, until  February 27 in the  morning, when the big earthquake hit Chile. We learned about it when we turned on the TV and saw images of  a lot of people running almost naked in front the Hotel O´Higgins in Viña Del Mar.  

My mother and older brother went running to a telephone booth and called our family here in Chile. Fortunately everyone was fine, just  a little worried for the aftershock.

We went to the airline, and they gave us fly tickets from Buenos Aires to San Juan near to Mendoza, and bus tickets from San Juan to Santiago. Because the landing strip in Santiago airport was broken. The trip back was so long and scary, because we had to cross the Cordillera de Los Andes. 

Now it’s an interesting story to tell, because I never knew how its a big earthquake like the February 27 everybody remembers.
