Plaza Jalisco

Hi everyone! Today I'll tell you about a restaurant that I love, it's called Plaza Jalisco and is located in La Florida, in the Enrique Olivares street, near the Bicentenario Stadium. I've been watching breaking bad lately with my boyfriend so we started to crave on mexican food (if you watch this series you'll understand why) and found this place on internet, because the only place where we eaten mexican food before was on Taco Bell and you know that place can throw down your expectatives :(
So we went to this marvelous place, Plaza Jalisco, very famous in the county and I definitely loved it. The food was simply great, I ate burritos and tacos and they were delicious and spicy. The atmosphere was very nice and homelike, they put mexican music all the time and the waiters gave us a perfect atention. When I told to a friend about this, she told me that she knew the place and she went with her family long time ago, she had the same impression as me, the place is simply great.
In brief, I recomend you this place if you wanna try REAL mexican food and have a good time.
See you soon.

18 Km :)

Well, hi everyone! When I first saw the task in the class blog, I didn't know what to tell you about, so I started thinking of what happened to me this week, and then I remembered my last week goal, this made me sooo extremelly happy so I will tell you about it. I really love riding my bike, my parents gave it to me in my ninth birthday and it was a complete surprise, it is a very resistant machine, believe me ;)  Anyway, the last weeks I was seriously thinking in riding my bike to uni, it was a very hard decision because I live in Puente Alto and there are almost 18 to 20 km. to the campus, in Ñuñoa. So every night I gave myself the encourage to do it but every morning I got scared, and during the breakfast started to think "what if...". The main problem was that I didn't have helmet and a strong chain to tie it, and that made me feel unsafe, so I decided not going on bycicle and do it when I could buy those implements, wich would be next month (in May), a very sad decision. But one day I woke up with enough time and I found no excuses, I could go slowly by the sidewalk and be very carefully. I put my sneakers and took the bike. If you ride your bicycle often maybe you'll understand what I mean, it was a completely exciting trip, and I could feel the chilling wind in my face...  I just couldn't stop smiling. When I entered in the campus I felt completely victorious, I was competing with my own fears and I won. Then I did it the next day, and I felt just the same :D So now I'm planning to go to uni on bicycle everyday but first I will buy a helmet and a kryptonite u lock, because they're more resistant. The most important part of all this is that I will become one more of the people who doesn't take the public transportation, wich I personally hate, and that will reduce my carbon footprint :D
My family and I are always trying to be "earth friendly", you know, we recycle (there's a recycling park near my house) and we're very concious about the water use and the energy saving, so this is very important to me and a big step forward.
Hope you're enyoying this long weekend, see you soon.
