Game Over

So, the summer here is over for me. And it was a long, really long one.

I mean, it all started as a dream. Then i began to work, and study. At the end, i was working and roughly uderstanding the principles of magnetism. And also i began my studies of japanese. All the things i wanted to do this summer (and i promised myself i will do them at new year's celebration) were done... And finally, i went to Coquimbo and saw my old uncle Oscar.

That guy, Oscar, is a character taken from a book. He can tell you all his life and never gets you bored. He was a sailor, an engineer, a laboratory helper, a worker, a cooker... He had a really nourished life.
And now i met him... He may have 79, but he still looks like the first time i saw him, many years ago. Man, he even has a watch that sometimes stops ans soetimes keeps going. Maybe that's his secret.
And his house. Wow, it doesn't have anything beyond the 80's. Even the phone is old. A really old sailor...
But still a human being. And like every other human being, he felt sad when we were going. I mean, for a guy who doesn't see his sons often, except when they need money, we were a miracle. We helped him cleaning the house and we even slept in the bed he offered for us...

He cried... I never saw him crying until that day.

So we leaved... A nice, fresh, sunny day. Not much traffic. We bought some cakes at La Ligua... The usual...

And now i'm here... I can't complain about this summer in any perspective. I feel good, exhausted, and happy. It was the best summer ever!!
