Stand by me.

Year: 1986

Inspirated on the novel: The Body - Stephen King. Te tittle is for the song "Stand by Me" - Ben E. King.

Director: Rob Reiner

Staff: Richard Dreyfuss, Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connel...

This is the film that I liked the most this summer. The plot is about four friends that want to find the body of a dead boy, that was killed by a train and hasn't been found, to get the money of the recompense. And its all about the travell that they have to do, and all the problems, and the relationship between them. A friend recommended it to me and I'll do it again with other people!

Canada.

I went to Canada this first 13 day of July and it was super! We were me, my familly, and a friend family with a daughter that is my friend, Laura. We rent a car and hosted, first, in Montreal. We were just a couple of day there, and we visit the city; it was pretty, but not the best. After that we drove to Quebec, and that place was covered by green and forest and lakes and mountains, really relaxing and awesome. We hosted in lots of B&B (Bed&Breakfast, houses of people that normally lives there and let tourist sleep in rooms like a hotel, and they cook for you) and we discovered that the people there was nice and very kind (and the breakfast too :D). Then we drove again to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where there was a conference that my parent and Laura's parent had to go. We passed those days walking to the city, doing excursions by the lake in a boat... and the last nigh we went to the Paul McCartney's concert! It was the greatest thing :D. Curiosities? We went to excursions on the Saint Jean lake, and we saw wales in the ocean in a boat, and we went to a natural park with typical animals of there, and shopping for souvenirs. And the first day we saw the Cirque du Soleil free! We visited too another little villages like "Peggy's Cove", "Tadoussac", "Lunenburg" -voted how the prettiest in Canada-, "Cape Breton"... Finally I can say: I wanna come back!!

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time...

This summer I was reading a book by Mark Haddon named "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time" and I falled in love with it! Its awesome and very pretty the way that Mark Haddon makes us see the way that Christopher, the first character, who is autistic, look the life and moments and people, etc. The plot is about one night that Christopher is walking on the street and find the neighbour's dog Wellington dead. He starts to do detective work to find who killed it, and, by those way, he discorver a lot of secret things of his familly... I recommend it, of course. Its a book that you have to read before dead (:
