The Best "Holidays" Ever

In the older posts I told about my trip to Rio de Janeiro in 2013. That travel wasn´t holidays but was very wonderful and for me it has been the best holidays ever.

I went to Rio for the WYD (World Youth Day) in June, 2013, during winter vacation period. I traveled with 23 friends of the parish where I participate. I stayed 10 days in Rio, were days very exhausting because we had to move, among millions of people that was in WYD, every day to place very far way of our lodging. But all those obstacle weren´t important because the experience lived was amazing. I knew place very beautiful of Rio, for example Copacabana, Ipanema, the Christ the Redeemer, the Cathedral of Sao Paulo, the city of Taquara (where our lodging), between others.

It has been the best holidays ever because I knew a new place (out of Chile); I met a lot of people of other countries that had the same faith; I knew Pope Francisco; I found a new family and I always spoke with them; I ate too much... I lives a wonderful experience.

Despite of tiredness I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH!!!

A country I´d like to visit

I´d like travel too much and to know a lot of places of world. But only once a time I have travel outside Chile, when I was to Rio de Janeiro for JMJ Rio 2013.

I´d like come back to Rio to visit other places of city, because I was to JMJ I couldn´t went to very places because I not had very time for the activities of JMJ.

Now I don’t have a country specific to visit, but I´d love do a “religious tour ”.

First I´d like also visit Holy Land, in Israel and know all the places where stayed Christ. I think that stay there must be an experience wonderful. I want know where was born Christ, where grew with his family, where did his miracles and discourse, where the last dinner, where was his Passion, crucifixion, death and resurrection. The temples raised in that places are very beautiful and reflect the grandeur of God.

Second I´d like visit all the shrine of Virgin Mary, especially Lourdes in French.

And finally I´d like visit Vatican city in Rome.

I hope visit those places someday.
