Homework 4: Visit to "Mirador del Valle"

Three weeks ago, I was in my house with my wife and we were talking about go out for lunch, but we wanted to go to a new place, then we found an internet web site with a big list of restaurants, and one of them took our attention, “Restaurante Mirador del Valle”, located in Alajuela; after a couple of minutes, we decided to go and know that place.

After driving for an hour, we arrived to the restaurant. It looked nice, looked like an old and typical house, it had a medium size parking lot, and a little bar next to the restaurant. Once inside the restaurant and after to check the menu, which had a lot kinds of dishes, I decided to eat a “Churrasco” and my wife ordered a dish with chicken. After around ten minutes, the waiter brought us the order, and it was simply delicious, and the price was good.

When we finished our lunch, we went out of the restaurant in order to take a look to the landscape, to being honest there was a lot of fog, but during ten minutes the fog disappeared and we stayed in front of the Alajuela’s Valley, it was a wonderful view.

I recommend the “Restaurante Mirador del Valle”, I went once and I would like to return soon.

Comment about Isel's world: Purple World

Well, after read the description of “Purple World” and how the people who lives there is, I think it is similar to Khrónos, mainly in its natural conditions because it is similar to “The Earth” in waterfalls, beaches, flora and fauna.

I think people in “Purple World” have similar characteristic with “Khrónosiams” too, at least some of the most important ones, for example they try to get a balance in their lives doing different and important things: work, sports, family and friends, they love and care the nature, and finally they really appreciate their life enjoying every minute of their life.

People in “Purple World” have characteristics of Venusians and Martians I think, but how is natural prevail lightly Venusians aspects, and I say this because she uses key words in several characteristics: “It depends how big the problem is”, “Depending on their mood”, “talk with their friends very often”, and obviously “They enjoy to go shopping”.

I think “Purple World” are good, and I could live there…..

I'm not a fan of Star Wars, that's why I can't comment anything about that.

A planet named: Khrónos

Khrónos

In Greek Mythology, Khrónos was the personification of Time, was god of ages.

I´m really be happy to live in the Earth, it is a wonderful planet, that´s why characteristics of Khrónos would be very similar to the Earth, obviously in a natural aspect, because in Khrónos, there isn´t pollution or traffic jams every day, corruption or bad people don´t exist, poverty or homeless people are unknown words.

I named the planet Khrónos because in this planet all people appreciate a lot the time, they don´t living thinking in how old they are, they think how many time they have for living.

Khrónosiams live each day doing important things for them, investing time in things that give them happiness and pride, understanding each day that their life isn´t eternal, people in Khrónos is conscious that life is just a little piece of time.

The specific characteristic of Khrónosiams is they are imperfect people, like we are, but the most important difference with us is that they understand and respect, in a really way, their differences. They take a lot of courses during their life in order to understand their selves and learn how to live better. Of course they enjoy to compete and practice a lot of sports, but they compete in order to be better themselves, don´t to prove to others that they are better than the other one.
