Thanks to all of you - kids and prospective teachers -
Today, the sailing ships are finally in Valparaíso. I made this video so as to show you guys some images of them. As you probably already know, this thursday, we are going to visit these ships at the port so as to get the necessary information about them in order to share it with your classmates.
Some of you have been selected to join me in this visit; so be ready for this experience!!!.
I'll be waiting for you tomorrow (a meeting has been arranged to inform the details at 13:00 hrs)
Here, there is also a picture of the participating sailing ships, including name, country, and homeport, so take a look of it to be up-to-date.
The sailing ships that participate in this International maritime encounter are the most representative vessels of their respective countries and a part of the citizen’s conscience. The nautical parade will give the community a unique opportunity to know a little more about the naval history of these countries.
This story narrates the origin of one of the most popular festivities around the world, "Christmas".
