A Country I would like to visit

France

I've wanted to travel to France. I think it's because I like vey much the food and in this country the gastronomy is extremely diverse. Too, I love the cinema and in France the Cannes Festival takes place, one of the most important and famous film festivals in the world. Besides, the cinema was created in France.
On top of everyting else, I've always wanted to know the Eiffel Tower. Besides, I love this language.

When I get to go  there, the first thing I will do is to visit the Eiffel Tower, in Paris! Second, I will taste their food, specially their cheese, and their wines, because they are the most renowned products in France. Then, I will dedicate myself to know the history of the cinema.

I'd like to learn of their cuisine, renowned for being one of the finest of the world.

Well, I hope that this travel is not far, and I can do everything that I want.

Here I leave a picture of the Eiffel Tower, the world's most visited paid monument.

A Picture I like

I took this photo last week in a very emocional moment.
Here I am with Coté, a German Shepherd who I and my friends helped for it recuperation.

Because of her, I learned many things and it made me even more sure that I am in the place I want and I should be. Thanks to her I know that I will be happy to be a veterinarian, since seeing as she improved little by little and see how she looked at me saying "thank you", made me immensely happy.

In this moment specialy, I was saying goodbye to Coté, because she will go with her new family. I had to contain my tears, but now I'm very very happy because she stay with her new owner and her partner, a very beautiful German Shepherd.

I like very much this picture, because is a moment that I will remember forever.

Well, without nothing more to say about this picture, I leave this here, enjoy it :) ...
