My favorite photo!

This is me from cape horn!, this is my favorite photo, because it was a good summer. In summer 2008 I travelled to punta arenas to meet with my father (he lives and works there), and he asked us "if we would you like to go to cape horn?", me and my brother were very excited with the news and we answered yes.
We sailed on a expedition ship, called "Mare Australis", it was a very comfortable ship, had many things, like a free bar, good bedrooms. However, the main thing i enjoyed about the ship ride was that the ship stops in specific places to disembark in order for passengers to take long walks, therefore, I spent all time walking on the islands!.
Although, when we were approaching cape horn in the night to disembark the next morning I felt the movement of the waves while I was sleeping!!!. In the morning I felt very sick, I couldn´t stand up, I wasn't hungry, it was horrible.
Later i felt better and I met with Gary, a friend from Vancouver, Canada I ask about seaquake, and he answer me "I was sleeping, I felt nothing!, oh man you looks horrible"!.
However, we were trying approach once more and we did it. If you go on one hundred kilometers, you'll arrive to the antartic. I've never travelled to the antartic but, my father has travelled 4 times, because he is a doctor, and he has to take people there when they're very sick.
In this journey, I meet so many people from many countries, like Canada, Spain, Mexico, United States and of course I talked in english so much, but is difficult to listen when you're talking with someone who comes froms UU.EE, beacuse they talk very fast!.
