My favorite Photo!

Well, is hard for me to chose only one picture to put it here, because I have a lot of favorite ones.
I took this one two sundays ago, on May 30th. That day was the Cultural Patrimony Day and with my mom and my brother we woke up early in the morning, with the intention to go and know the Alhambra Palace, wich is an historical building placed in the centre of Santiago.

We arrived to the place by subway (minutes before we went to Quinta Normal Station, where was an exposition about ancient Egipt called "Panubis", name related to one of the mummys that were there). The Alhambra Palace is placed near to Santa Ana Station, but when we arrived, we realized the building was closed, because it suffered some damages by cause of the earthquacke of last february 27th.

Then, we started to walk trough different streets until we arrived to the Forestal Park and we decided to visit the Bellas Artes Museum. We came into the museum (also it had some damages by the earthquake) and we saw two different expositions. The first one was about old chilean paintings about natural landscapes; and the second one was about the chilean history told to visitors using photos that were taken at specific moments of our story as a country. Into the main hall of the museum, was a band playing music and a bald man who was singing romantic songs to the people that were there.

After that, we walked to the Santa LucĂ­a Hill, my mom did not want to climb it, because she was afraid of the place, but it was the Cultural Patrimony Day and we would be safe, because there were a lot of people and we would not be alone if something happened. So, we climb the hill and we enjoyed it a lot, it is a beautiful place, and I recommend it to you. It is a nice walk.

When we were leaving the place I took the picture, there is the main fountain of Neptuno, wich is placed near to Alameda Street.
