"Mi vuelta a la vida"
The translated title would be "My journey back to life". The authors are Lance Armstrong & Sally Jenkins.
Lance is a great cyclist who is always amazing in any course of the Tour de France.
This book is an autobiography where he relates his dramatic experience with cancer. It describes his battle with cancer from his diagnosis until his cure and then his return to the competition. Also he includes autobiographical notes about his relationships with his family, wife and sponsors. He reflects that when everything was ok everybody was happy to help him but when he had trouble most people gave him the cold-shoulder and only a few remembered him.
He writes about how he works through testicular cancer and its painful treatment.
Then after this he founded an association against cancer.
He discovered, with this illness, who were really his friends and who truly love him. He especially thanks his wife.
Also, he was given a letter from the other cancer patients. It said: "Although you don't know it yet you are lucky".
After cancer, Lance won 7 Tours and he realised his dream of being a father.

Guess which picture?

Probably this picture is in a " zoco " of Turquey. There are a lot of colours because each box contains a different spice. I can see vessels for preparing tea. Maybe the people are tourists because they are carrying bags.

Before the photographer took the photo, two people were into stealing a lamp while the customer was speaking with the tourists and he wasn't paying attetion. When the photagrapher was taking a photograph of the boys, they run away but the market was packed and they couldn't flee.The police were coming.

Finally, the boys escaped and today that lamp shines in my bedroom.

Valentine's Day.





Interviewing Ale.


About the question at what age do people in Ecuador get married Ale answered that couples normally get married between 22 and 25 years old. Ale is 17 years old and she wants to get married when she is 23 years old. Even though this is a young age she also wants to be a young mum.


She would invite 300 guests to her wedding.


This is what Ale looks for in a partner: honesty, fun, good looks, understanding and friendliness.


When I asked her, have you ever been on a blind date? She told me "yes" and now that boy is her best friend.


On the other hand, Ale doesn't think that it's okay for a women to have two husbands because she thinks that true love is only for one person.


Finally, I asked her if she thinks love is necessary to have a good marriage. She answered sure "yeah, of course".

Living in Brisbane

Coolangatta Beach
Hi!
I have been living in Brisbane for 1 month and I'll be here for 5 more. I think that time isn't enough to know this great country but I will come back!




I like Australia for its beaches, its people and its weather. However, it has been raining heavily for the last few days.




I'm sudying in a school with people of many nationalities which is very fun and at the same time this is a new experience for me.
