My Hometown Part I

I recently made a brief trip to Los Andes, my hometown. It's a small country town located just 80 Kms northbound Santiago City surrounded by the Andes Mountains, hills and a vast valley crossed by the Aconcagua River. It's so easy and rapid to get there.
It was a sunny Sunday morning of June that I made up my mind to take my bag and camera and headed to my hometown to stay there for a couple of hours just to visit the Santa Teresa de Los Andes old monastery. As Chile is mostly a Roman Catholic-based religion population, I wanted to visit this old Monastery and make some visuals inside it. This is the result and I wanted to portray the old monastery and the place where Sor Teresa de Los Andes lived and spent her religious living years. She was Chile's first female Saint named by the Vatican in 1993.
I will go back to my hometown to show you the place where I was born and where I spent my childhood years. I promise.
