Cuando éramos jóvenes mis hermanos y yo esperábamos impacientemente los fines de semana para ir al campo a visitar a mi abuela. Como vivíamos en la ciudad no podíamos ver a abuela con frecuencia así que, para nosotros, esos fines de semana eran especiales.
Normalmente salíamos de nuestra casa la tarde del viernes para comenzar el viaje de dos horas hacia el pueblito donde ella vivía. Camino a su casa planeábamos todas las actividades que queríamos hacer durante nuestra estancia. Siempre queríamos dar una vuelta alrededor de su casa para ver los diferentes animales que tenían allí. También pensábamos en trepar los árboles frutales que abundaban allí y bañarnos en el río cerca de su casa.
En las noches, antes de acostarnos, mi abuelita nos contaba cuentos de su niñez e historias folclóricas de su pueblo. Nos fascinaban las aventuras que vivía mi abuelita con sus hermanos.
En un abrir y cerrar de ojos llegaba el domingo y sin ganas, teníamos que regresar a la vida aburrida de la ciudad.
