Chirlotta

    One day, two years ago, I was walking down the street near the sea in a beautiful place called Chirlotta. It was a very quiet town. It was Sunday and many people were having a rest. The streets were nice cobblestone roads. The town seemed to be empty. Nobody was walking.

    When I arrived at the port, it was the first time I could see somebody. He was a fisherman called Michael. He was sixty years old. He was moving fishes from a net to a big box. I saw that a girl was helping him to do it. She was a very beautiful lady and I was surprised because she was working with fishes in that place. I introduced myself and I asked them their names. His name was Javier and her name was Juliana, she was Javier's daughter. I was disappointed. I was looking for a restaurant to eat but all the places were closed. I asked them about that, but they told me that it was the same every Sunday. Juliana offered me to have lunch with them when they finished their job. I thanked them and I helped them to move the fish.

    While we were cooking, we walked a lot. I explained to them that I was there on vacation because I had had some problems during the last months with my girlfriend and I needed to be relayed. That was the reason why I traveled to Chirlotta. Juliana told me that she had never visited another place. It was very strange for me because I know many countries and cities. Her father, Michael, told me that, to live in that place, was very nice, but he couldn't earn to much money to visit other places. While we went on talking, Juliana started cooking some fish with spaghetti. She was very happy. When we finished eating, I thanked them for the meal and I invited her to go to my town, Davenport, next month.

     I bought one air ticket for her and I left the town two days later. During those two, Juliana made me feel very comfortable and calm. She went with me to visit some beautiful mountains and forests close to town. It was very nice for me.

   The next month, I was waiting for her to visit me. I prepared a special agenda for her. She was very happy because of my hospitality. This  is a beautiful story because we are married now and we are happy to be together. This is real love and I always remember that lovely fish with spaghetti from Chirlotta.
