This place is very special for me because I think it has a very special energy where you can do meditation and watch the stars at night. Of course, it’s also a very hippie place, there’s a lot of partying, too, and a lot esoteric gurus and teachers, many of them not really serious. But its still fun to visit, and the place itself is just very beautiful and relaxing, and

A Photograph You Like

May 29, 2019

Hi everyone! Today, we're going to write about a photograph you like. In your text, you must say: Who took the picture What it shows When it was taken Why you like it Anything else you want to say And upload it Write at least 150 words Here is my example: In this photo, I am standing with my mother in the middle of a desert called Valle del Arcoíris. This place is very near San Pedro de Atacama, and we went there in May 2016.

This valley is special because it has colours from the different minerals that have deposited over time. You could find green, red, yellowish and different kinds of orange sands.

I love this picture because I love deserts in general, and this one is very unique, but also because it gives me a good me

I am very dependant on the microwave, I spend most of my time working on my computer, and I can’t live without my cell phone. But when I really think about it, my favourite piece of technology is the Kobo e-reader. Kobo is a brand of an electronic book reader, just like Kindle, and I got it as a birthday gift about 6 years ago from my sister. You can download e-books from the internet, either on EPUB or PDF formats at a much
