know the Archaeological Park San Agustín. I love aboriginal art and history.

As soon as I finish my career I would like to travel abroad. I always wanted to know Europe;
specially Greece and Italy. Their history and culture are very rich and each place there is
fantastic and charming.

I am having a party tonight and I want to have a lot of fun with my old school friends. It is
going to be great. ¡ I am so excited!
