A Little bit of fame

A few months ago my father, my uncle, my cousins and me went to Guadalajara, Mexico for the 2012 Panamerican Games. The Reason of the travel was that my eighteen cousin was part of the diving national team of Chile and we were going to cheer him up in the competition.

While my cousin was training for the competition, me and my family spend a few days in Mexico D.F. those days were awesome. We visit the pyramids and the ancient temples in the city and learnt a lot from the Aztec culture.

In the competition days we had to do the impossible to get tickets, they were sold out but finally we exchanged them for a few pins, Mexicans love competition pins.

The competition was rough and the Mexicans were very good divers, my cousin did his best but he couldn’t be classified to the finals.

He was very sad and we decided to cheer him up giving him a tour in Guadalajara city. When we were walking in the street the people there were very kind and everyone wanted to cheer him up and take a picture with us. They taught us that the only that matters is to do your best.
