The Spanish did not appreciated the local cotton, nor did they find the material produced on traditional backstrap looms wide enough,…
This was the place where all the teens would hang out and many people would perform on the streets. Also they would sell lots of food. Another place that I went was my grandmas ranch. It was a little scaring because there was no signal and stray dogs would be wandering around which made me sad. Also if I needed to use the bathroom, it was basically a hole on the ground with a toilet seat cover, which I did not like. On the bright side, I did help my grandma around feeding some of the animals…
values such as democracy on Latin America. Chile was the one of the cases that experimented with socialism during the election of Salvador Allende in 1971.
