My last vacation was on the summer of 2007 and I spent one month in North Chile. I visited several places, because the nothern part of our country has very different landscapes and environments, all of them are very interesting and beautyful. I went specifically to the Antofagasta Region, which is the second one in the political division of our country. I went to Chiuchiu, Lasana and Caspana which are small towns in the middle part of the Loa and Salado rivers in the Atacama desert, also I went to the towns of Ascotan and Ollague in the highlands, near to Bolivia. Finally, I spent the rest of the time in the coastal city of Antofagasta and in the city of Taltal which is also located in the coast side .
Most of the time I travelled alone, specially in the desert, but in the cities of Antofagasta and Taltal I met several friends.
I met a lot of people, some of them very interesting persons. I remember specially an old man. He is a goat shepherd and he lives with his sister in the middle of the desert, in a very very small town called Conchi, near to the Loa river. He was very nice and kind with me, and we talked a lot about the way he lives in the loneliness of the desert.
The weather was warm most of the time but in the highlands, when the night falls, the temperature descends below the 0º C degree. In the seaside, the nights are fresh and cold and the mornings are cloudy. So, despite it were summer time I brought a sweater and a jacket in my bag.

My best friend is Lucia, I met her in a seaside small town, when I went there for holidays with a cousin of mine. When I met her, she was still in the highschool and I was in the fisrt year in the universiy. She is 4 years younger than me, but she was so smart that this small difference of age was not an obstacle for building the nice frienship we have.

When she entered the university, she moved to the city of Valdivia and then, for several years, we did not see or talk each other. But, despite of the distance and the lack of contact, we kept the friendship feeling alive. So, after a lot of years, she got married and gave birth a child and I did not know it. The adresses and telephone numbers were lost, so I guessed that this beautiful realtionship will be just a nice memory for me.

A couple of years after her marriage, she decided to look for me, because I was her beloved friend. Finally, she found me, and called me, and I was so happy because I realized that my old friend was always thinking to meet me again. This is my dearest memory of her.

I like the way she thinks about the life, I think she is an optimistic and a happy person despite of the problems and difficulties that all the people have. She is also very kind and cleaver.

I don't like much some political ideas she have and I prefer to avoid this kind of subjects when we talk. But it is just an small detail. In fact, I don't care so much about her political preferences and I love her exactly as she is.

I think the greatest adventure we have had, was when we were swiming and suddenly the sea got mad and big waves started to push us into the sea. I don`t swim very well, so I felt that this will be my last time in this world. A lot of people were in the same situation at this moment but, thanks God, we could manage and the sea throw us back to the beach. Lucia was ok, and I feel better at saw her smiling and kiding again.

I don't feel envy of her in anyway, but there is a big difference between her and me, she can get anything that she wants and I don't have this skill.

Finally, if I should give her a gift it would be a travel to Venice in Italy, because I know she loves history, arts, architecture and travels and I'm sure that this travel will make her really, really happy.

Hello everybody, wherever you can be now (specially you, my dear reader, because I know you well) :
My name is No one and I come from de kingdom of Nowhere. In my land, always rains and the fog covers the sky most of the time. My people uses to spend the time writting the history of our acestors and we always make new histories of them so, in this way, we are everytime creating a new world for ourselves. I hope that you, my dear reader, will come to my country, to have the oportunity of share our experiences of the life.
I will introduce myself saying that I am a sailor, and I love the ocean more than my own country. I have lived so long time in this world that you would never believe how old I am, because I can not get old (at least in my external appereance). I know so much about the world that I have reached to the great conclussion that I do not know nothing about it.
I guess, my dear reader, that you are in fact far, far away from the place that I am now. But I hope that you will come here someday, when the fog finally vanishes from my land. This day, I think, we will enjoy a very interesting conversation about our lifes, maybe you will stay by me forever, and together we will go out searching for new adventures in the seven seas and to the end of the world.
So, I will stay here as ever, waiting for you...
The Captain No one from the land of Nowhere
