MY FIRST TRIP TO GUAJIRA

By Alejandro Aguirre

I was many times in the Gaujira. Because my mother´s husband is from there.

My first trip to this department was when I had six years old I went with my brother, my mom and her husband.

The first town where we stayed was San Juan del Cesar. In this town lives the family of my mother´s husband. We were there a week. Every day, my brother and I went to walk around the town before lunch. After that, we played soccer in the street.

At lunch time I was happy because I like seafood but my brother hated lunch because he didn´t like seafood. After those days, we were in Villanueva for four days. In this town, there are many tourist sites but there aren´t good hotels so we stayed in the house of a family friend.

My mom was very happy because she likes the mores of this town. My brother and I toured in bicycle many sites. The sites that I remember the most are the river Villanueva and bathhouse Castillo Escondido.

Finally we were in Valledupar for five days. However, we didn´t enjoy of this town because my brother was sick of his ears so we spend two days the hospital. After that, we went to visit many sites, for example the park “Leyenda Vallenata Consuelo Araujo Noguera” and the square “Alfonso Lopez Pumarejo.”

After almost three weeks, my brother and I returned to Medellin. My mom and her husband had to stay over there working.

This was a memorable trip, because it was the first time I traveled on a plane. From Valledupar to Medellin.
