Themed-post 2: Sports and hobbies

Hi all!

this is the second post of the topics you chose in class.

To start with, I must confess I haven't had enough time to do sports or to dedicate to a kind of hobby. Anyway, I reckon that sometimes when I do have time I become a couch potato and I do nothing;but wait...it hasn't been like that all my life: I've done some sports and had some hobbies.
When I was at university I practiced judo for about 3 years,I really liked it even sometimes I got hurt,it was worth it. Then I started to go trekking, and at the end  I finished climbing mountains. I became so fanatical about it, that almost every weekend I went trekking or climbing, and I invested a lot of money on outdoor gear, too!

Nowadays I go trekking with my family, but not as often as I'd like to (I have to work on that), and once in a while, we go bodyboarding.

What about you?

A photograph you like

I must confess that I like to take pictures, and most of the times I'm the person in charge when there's a celebration or something like that...everyone in my family expects me to take pictures (which is a little bit sad... I don't appear in many pictures). That could be the reason that it was complicated to choose one picture. Anyway I chose this one which was taken during September holidays, it's a selfie with my son, behind us there's a waterfall. That day we were visiting a big park and in that moment we were in the aviary. The reason I like it, it's because my son looks crazy and I hope that he never loses the spontaneity that characterizes childhood. Even though I think I don't look well  in the picture, I'm sure that if I see it again in 10 years I'm going to remember the good times we had in that travel.

Themed-post 1: My pets

Today´s post is about our pets.

I have 3 pets, they are all cats: Neko, Kitte, and Gato Chico. I have had Neko for more than 16 years, Kitte for 13, and Chico for 3. I have always had cats, since my mother was afraid of dogs, the only possiblility was to have cats.

this is their stressful life

Neko

Two of my cats were rescued from the streets, and Neko was given by my cousin. I really love them! I remember I found Kitte in the street market, he was a baby, covered and fleas and almost starving; I couldn't just leave them, so I brought him home. Gato Chico was living on a tree near my house, he was abandoned in the street, so he had to climb the tree to stay alive and away from the dogs, one of my neighbors tried to adopt him, but her cat didn´t like him and hit him...so with my husband we decided to adopt him, but my cat Neko didn´t like him neither (he has never liked other cats, he wants to be the king), but at the end, he has accepted Chico in a 15%.
Even though sometimes (most of the times Gato Chico) they make a mess in my house, trying to steal things they want to eat, or grabbing my son´s toys; I can't imagine my house without them.
