I took this photo in Tongoy. Tongoy is a little town in the 4th Region in Chile. I went there in 2008, with school companions. The travel was very good, I knew places that I never seen before, and I knew more people of my school, because the rest of my companions were a year younger than me (that year I was in my last year in the school) We traveled for many places of the 4th Region, likes La Serena, Ovalle, Guanaqueros, even we visited an astronomic observatory (I don’t remember which, but I remember was amazing).
Well, I have to talk about the place in the photo. Tongoy was my favorite place in the travel. I have to recognize that the beaches don’t like me at all, but Tongoy was special. The sand was very soft, and completely different that the sand of Viña del Mar, for example. And the sea was so quietly, like a pool, and I loved pools. When I was in Tongoy could swim far away of the shore. Could sounds exaggerated, but I really felt in the bottom of the sea for first time in my life.
The town was very quietly (like the sea), and this was other reason because I loved Tongoy. But I traveled to there in April, and the tourist guide said me than in the summer Tongoy was full of people. Well, I think that doesn’t matter me very much, because the sea will be like a pool forever. A pool full of people or without people, but finally like a pool, and that is the important. I hope visit Tongoy again, and I recommended that if you don’t had gone to there, go someday in the future, because is a very beautiful place.

Today I’m going to talk about a website – my favourite website in the last days -. This site calls SalonKritiK, and is a great blog about art. This blog was created in Spain, Madrid, but now everyone can write and send articles. Obviously this articles are edited and revised by the editor in chief Maria Virginia Jaua.
In SalonKritiK you could found columns, comments and critic articles about art, but not only visual arts; you can read about music, cinema and literature. And one of the most important reasons because this site likes me is the rate of them articles; I found everyday a different column, and hardly ever disappoint me.
This website has stables sections. One of my favorites is calls “domingo festín canibal”. This section – that like the name says: is only for the Saturday – is about art critic. The name, in my opinion, is great. This come from a phrase of Walter Benjamin, in which refer about art critic, and says that “The truly critic get close to his object with the same tenderly that a cannibal would eat a newborn baby”. I think that this phrase is awesome, because define the art critic through of a great analogy.
Well, I sincerely recommend this site. The columns are very interesting, and is a very good way for know about contemporary art, its critic and to keep informed about it.


Regards for all!
