The best concert ever

 In 2018, for my 23th birthday, I recived tickets for one of my favorite artists, Roger Waters, the concert would be in november 14, in the National Stadium. I was really exited about it because Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands and I already went to a Roger Waters concert a few years ago and it was amazing. 

The concert started at 9pm, with a british puntuality, with Speak to me and Breathe, the first two songs of The dark side of the moon. The first part of the show was a lot of songs from that album and some of others like Wish you where here, then one of the highlights was when Roger Waters played Another brick in the wall and a big brick wall was projected in the giant screen and a choir of kids start singing. Then there was a break and suddenly four big pipes appear over the stage and create the factory of the Animals album cover. 



Another big moment of the show was when Roger Waters made a tribute to Victor Jara playing El derecho de vivir en paz in his phone and put it in the microphone with a big photo of the chilean artist in the background. 


Close to the end of the show a big laser pyramid was projected over the crowd and then other lasers create a 3D version of the The dark side of the moon album cover, it was an amazing concert, the sound, the visuals, and everything was perfect, one of the best days in my life.

European Trip

 Europe is one of my pending destination to go, since I was a child I dreamed with visiting the coliseum and all of the ancient buildings. Here in chile, because of the earthquakes, we dont have really ancient constructions, so reading about and watching images of buildings from hundreds of years ago fascinated me. When I start studing art history my desire of going to europe intensifies, when I learned about the great artists from Italy, Spain, or the Netherlands and see the collections that the european museums have I thought it was incredible and I decide to organize this trip. 

In my research I found out that the easiest (and cheapest) way to go to europe is by plane to Madrid, there I'd like to visit the Prado museum, the Reina Sofía National Museum and the Thyssen museum, then I plan to go by train to Barcelona and then to Paris.

 

There i'd like to visit the Louvre, the d'Orsay and other art galleries and museums. After that go by train to Brusels and then Amsterdam, where are the most important collections of flemish art and a lot of medieval architecture.



 And finally, my last destination would be Italy, first I'd like to visit the art galleries and streets of florence, and then go to Rome, visit the coliseum and the vatican city where I could watch the renaissance frescos of Michelangello.
