A book that i recomend

 Hi, if your like history this its the blog for u :-)

Today im gonna talk you about my favorite history book that i have ever read: "THE CRUSADES THROUGH ARAB EYES" of Amin Maalouf. I bought and read it around 2019.

Obviusly it is about the crusades in middle east, but from an arab/muslim perspective based on the muslim chronicals of that period of time and after. The autor its very good at telling the history, he shows some fun fact as all the muslim leaders were not arabs, instead they were from turkish and kurd origin or a battle between a coalition of christians and arabs against other coalition of christian/arab people. Its a very good way to understand that historical process, in fact the crusades were a breakpoint from a historical view, at the begining the crusaders were normandians and practically barbarians but they took the best of the arab culture as the knowledge while the crusades were in progress. At the end, the muslim won the war but the other side (the west) few centuries later ruled all the world by using some things that they learned there.

Aerosmith Concert

 Hi, today im gonna talk you about my favorite concert that i ever been. Im 22 and i have been at three concerts of relatively famous artists, Fito Paez, Wos and Aerosmith. This last one was the greatest, it was in 2016 and by that time i was 15 years old. I went with my father as my birthday gift. The concert was in the Movistar Arena near Parque O'higgins metro station. The only bad thing was that in that time i was a lot shorter that i am now, so' sometimes it was difficult to me watch the whole concert, but Aerosmith sounded aweosome, like in the band's videoclips. I loved that style of music, a mix between rock and blues with obviusly the good voice of Steven Tyler. Was my first concert in muy short life, and the thing i most remember was the song "Love in the elevator" and all the crowd singing the clasic "Whoa yes!" in the song's verses.  The temperature inside Movistar Arena was very hot because it is a closed space and lot of people went to

An interesting Trip (we almost die)

 Hi , today im gonna talk you 'bout one of the most interesting trip i ever had: The Enladrillado trekking in Lircay. Saturday October 29, 2022. Me and two cousins went to Talca to have a halloween's adventure in the mountains "near" there. The plan was get to "El Enladrillado" in the Altos de Lircay National Park at sunset. This place is a strange plain in the middle of the Andes Mountains, famous by UFO sighting, an ideal site for halloween.  But soon as we arrived to Talca's bus terminal, bad things started to happen. First of all, that day only ONE bus was going to Vilches (60km away of Talca), which was the nearest place to the park. We got late, so we missed the bus. We took other bus to San Clemente (30 km away of Vilches) and then we started walk down the road, and we got helped by some good people in their car and finally we could arrive to Vilches, around 2pm . We were laughing until we reach the entrance of the park, cos' the CONAF's r
