A beautiful memory.
One of my favorite memories was immortalized in this photograph. Most summers with my grandparents, my brother and my cousin we made a car trip in which we crossed the south of Chile. This trip specifically, was the most special of all. A couple of years ago, my grandfather had been diagnosed with cancer, which was already quite advanced. So he decided to make the "possible" last trip, which he did. We travel by car to different parts, such as Talca, Concepción, Talcahuano, Valdivia, Pucón, Puerto Montt, etc. When we visited Talcahuano, my grandfather took us to see Huascar. My grandfather was a naval officer, so he had preferential access to the naval bases, where the ship was located. I remember that we entered without have to wait and immediately we got on a kind of raft that took us from the seashore to the ship. When we went up to Huascar they gave us a historical tour of it, it was a lot of fun. When we finished the tour we got back on the raft to return to shore, that was the moment when the photograph was taken. The most interesting thing is that, legally, you can´t take photographs of naval or military bases. But without realizing it in the photograph, the naval base appears behind. That same year my grandfather die. This photograph is a very precious memory for me because it was when together with my grandfather we took an illegal photo.
it was definitely worth doing
