The Awesome Country Side Just Near Home!

By Michael Moreno

If I could visit a nice place to spend a good time and get relaxed, I’d choose the Communal Park in Rancagua city. I always go there at least once per month ever since I was a kid; I love to lie down on the fresh grass with my friends and cousins and have a good chat covered by the smell of trees. There is a small lake too whose water can be heard always moved by the wind. Next to the awesome lake, there are a lot of benches and light posts across the whole road which goes around the whole park. When I was a teenager, I used to play football next to the pine area with my friends; we loved it and felt very excited about fishing for tadpoles on the lake. However, now I just go there for a walk and to stand in front the lake which is very calm around the evening and beautiful at sundown. I feel that those were very special times because I was capable to appreciate nature and walk around this park, full of grass and green areas. The most important thing is that I have never spent a cent doing this! A lot of different smells were there because of the trees and the lake, those smells always reminded me of the country, but with the difference that I was just maybe 15 blocks away from home. I really enjoyed those days when I was a kid in that place and I believe that I’m going to keep coming for as long as I'm able to visit my ‘little country side’.
