Famailla: home of the "empanada"

In Famailla we have lots of atractions such as the National Festival of the “empanada” where the best cooks are rewarded. There are made "empanadas" of meat, chicken and cheese though every restaurant guards its secret in the majority they cook with spices such as paprika and cumin.
In its surroundings the locality has sugar, textile,citrus industries that the tourist love to visit becouse of their good quality. You can also enjoy this way the landscape that constitutes a beautiful subtropical jungle, close to natural east as the Rio Famaillá, with its silent and crystalline waters.
Another place to visit is the Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Carmen that is considered to be a historical monument. The San Martin square is the point where all the people like to meet to chat and drink something.
If you go to Famailla you have to eat the “empanadas” done in ovens of fuelwood but you can also try “miel de caña” and Anchi (dessert on the basis of corn flour). Some good restaurants are Restaurant Oasis (Arabic food) and Restaurant La Carpa de Esther("empanadas" and tamales)

Lules: at only 22 km from San Miguel

Located at only 22 km from San Miguel we reach to one of the most beautiful places we can visit, San Isidro de Lules. Before coming to Lules's city, we find the ruins of the Jesuitical Chapel in San Jose, which date back to the 17th century.It has been declared Historical Monument because it is a historical legacy of supreme importance for the people of Tucuman.
They consist in the old chapel and the convent founded by the Jesuits in 1670. In the convent, nowadays in ruins,we can find the bedrooms, the store, the workshops and the school where the Indians used to study. This is a very interesting place to visit becouse of its beautiful history.
Another place to visit are the Quebradas of Lules. This is one of the best places for relaxing in Tucuman. This “quebrada” opens among two big mountains where the Lules river passes. It is a great place to prepare bbqs and picnics and perhaps to swim in the waters of Lules river.
In Lules we have lots of good things to eat such as “tamales”, “humitas”, “empanadas” but one of the most famous things of this city is their orange juice called Citric, one of the most sold product in Tucuman. Strawberries are also very famous in this part of the province.
Accommodation in Lules is not easy to get. We have some hotels like Francia Hotel, but the most wanted for tourist are the huts becouse of their low prices.

Marijuana legalization

When we talk about legalizing marijuana, there are many economic, health, and social issues to analyze. This text separates the legalization in two. One is the economic and the other is the social part.
When talking about economic, we have to know that the battle on marijuana is a very expensive one. On the other way we have to know that the price of a unit of marijuana is $8.60 on the street while its cost of production is only $1.70. In a free market, a $7 profit for a unit of marijuana would not last for long.This would make that dealers dissapear.
On the other hand, in the social aspect, he thinks that our kids shouldnt grow with that freedom of doing what ever they wan`t.
In my opinion I think that the legalization is going to be something good to the economy but a very bad thing in the social aspect that is the most important thing.

A big lie (Number 11)

It was the year 2003 and I was in my junior year in high school. The classes were finishing and I had to sit for five exams.
I wanted to go on holidays with my friends but I knew that if I told my mom that I had to sit for five exams she would not want me to go.
I usually don`t lie to my mon but this time was different, I NEEDED to go on holidays with my friends.
When I arrived that day to my house I looked at her and told that I only had to sit for one exam so she told me that there was no problem and that I could go with my friends.
But one week later she misteriously found out that I wasn`t telling the true.
I couldn`t go on holidays with my friends and I had to spend the holidays studying day and night.
That was the biggest and worst lie I ever told.

Paula

It was a nice day to go out with my friends so I called Jhon and we set up everything to go to "The Abasto", Jhon`s favourite place.
He picked me up at eleven and we went to this pub called "Oswald". We started drinking and a gorgeous lady asked my name.
-Felipe and yours?- I told her
-My name is Paula- she said
We dance all night till dawn like two wild beast, until she asked me to take her to her house so I agreed.
We arrived to her house, she kiss me and told me that we will soon meet.
I woke up the other day with a terrible hangover and went to my car to look for my cigarretes and I found her jacket so I decided to take it to her house.
I couldn`t remember very well until I saw this little chapel and everything came back to my head. I continue driving and finally I arrived to her house.
I knock on the door and a lady asked me.
-What do you want??- She asked me very angry.
-Sorry I just wanted to give this to Paula- I said her showing her jacket.
The lady suddenly turn into white and told me that Paula was dead for more than 10 years.
-Lady I`m sorry but that is impossible. I have been with her last night and she forgot this jacket in my car.-
She started crying and told me that she was wearing that same jacket the day she died.
Ten years passed since this event and I still have nigthmares with Paula and her jacket

THE END

me by me

My name is Felipe, I`m 20 and I love playing soccer. I am a controversial person that is always trying to make people think like me, and I don`t stop untill I get what I want.
I am a social person that likes going out with friends to bars and pubs and when someone messes with my friends he should considerer dead.

This article is about a place call Choquequirao in Peru. The author introduce us this gorgeous place that its call “the other Machu Picchu” and talks about his experience while he was in this city.
Talks about Topa Inca that is Choquequirao’s builder and how he managed to built this amazing city. This place was visited for almost 6,800 visitors in 2006 but its just 1% of the number who went to Machu Picchu.
Its also talks about the preservation that all the people should do in this kind of places, and the way they live.
Personal Reaction
I went to this places in the north of our country and I think it`s true that we have to take care of this places becouse they are so beautiful that everyone should enjoy them.
Machu Picchu is one of the first places that you think when you talk about Peru but there are lots of places that u can also visit and that can leave you astonish.
In our country we have a similar problem with preservation. We have lots of beautiful places that unfortunatly are in very bad conditions becouse WE don`t take the problem in our hands.
A solution in my opinion it would be to do a campaing to make people aware of the problems that can cause not to preserv our gorgeous places.

We are safe!

San martin went to Cordoba and tie a very difficult match against talleres. With this point san martin is going to play in the 2nd division for at least one more year.
When the match was over I was so glad that I started jumping in my bed.
The next game is against San Martin of San Juan, and thats the last game of this season. The match is going to be on saturday and the stadium of ciudadela is going to be full so I invite everyone to go to Pellegrini and Rondeau to watch the most spectacular show
