SUNSET ON WHEELS

Everytime I see this picture remains me the moment that me and my parents did that summer of 2014. We were watching TV with nothing else to do when my mother thought that it would be a great idea if we go on a trip. At the beginning, for my father and I it seems a crazy idea, but it didn’t take too much until we took all our bags and put it into the car, looking for a summer adventure.

Our destiny: Coquimbo. We left our house at 12 am. I was very excited because this was the first time we do something like this without any planification. My parents always make reservations for a room in La Herradura’s shore. This was new for all of us, but it think that was the magic of the experience.

On the way to the 4^th region, we were the only ones traveling at that hour. The soul CD that my father put on the radio made the atmosphere more comfortable while me and my mother were talking about the things we should do when we arrive. It has been four hours since we started our journey when something unexpected happened. We were near Los Vilos when we stop in the middle of the highway because of a truckers protest. There, we spend more than seven hours trying to move from there.

After so much waiting, we finally reached Coquimbo. This photograph was taken when I got out of the car, the sun was just hiding in the hills. I like it because it reminds me of everything that we live in that place, it was worth, they were my best vacations.
