BASQUE MYTHOLOGY Mythologies and legends started when human being tried to explain all phenomens that saw around them. Basque people were not an exception, thus, they had a rich mind joined with nature. MARI: is the supreme goddess of Basque Country and she is linked to the Earth. She lives in the Basque mountains, inside caves. She looks like a beautiful woman with animals extremities. However when she travels through the sky she becomes in a great ball of fire. SUGAAR OR SUGOI is the male snake, the Mari´s husband.He lives in caves too and he changes his appearance. It is said when both, Mari and Sugaar make the love each other they break storms in the Basque Country. ATARRABI and MIKELATS are the Mari´s and Sugaar´s sons. Atarrabi embodies the goodness and Mikelats embodies the evilness. BASAJAUN : is the Lord of the wood .He wears long hair and he has cow´s legs. He warns the shepherds about storms and about wolves. TARTALO: is a giant with just one eye. He is wicked and is fed of human flesh GAUEKO: he is the lord of the darkness and the night belongs to him. He is invisible but his voice can be heard. AKER: is the male goat and witches made "akelarre" on his honour. He has positive influence on animals he protects and he was not evil in this ancient culture. Well there are other many creatures in our culture but I think it is enough by now

My best birthday It was a cold morning of December in a foreing country . The snow covered the streets but it was very hot in the room. I was very nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart´s beats were listened to whole place.Suddenly the room was filled of strong sounds:shouts and cries...and I felt in calm, quiet because I had my dream between my arms, the best gif of my life, my son . I tasted those magic momments and time and space disappeared.The paradise was there, my dream was there, my life was there too and I cried in silence.

What is the correct form? You and I are friends or You and me are friends. Thanks a lot.

I have some doubts about the use of the verb LIKE +INFINITIVE and LIKE +GERUND. I mean is there any rule to use this verb? ¿How is the correct form: I like to travel or I like traveling? Thank you very much.

Is any diference among "travel", "trip" , "tour" and"journey"? Thanks a lot

TRAVELING I have been in several countries. I have slept in luxurious hotels and I have slept also in some simple tents where freedom was around us. I have felt the History, Art, Music, through to stones, paintings , monuments... I think there are some magic places where we can feel many sensations: old cities full of life and mistery:new places with new smells and colours;different people with strange sounds in the mouths and I liked them. I love to travel and world is waiting me, hahahah but I´ll go to my loved Sarajevo for many personal reasons and I would like to visit Samarkanda. It´s my dream, my obsession from my childhood and I don´t know why

IMPRESSIONS We were tired after six hours in the plane. I was the first person who got out it and I felt the hot air on my face. Customs was a table with 3 policemen in the middle of the nothing. The desert was there and I felt all its force with the fire and the sunlight ,the sand and the dust . The atmosphere was heavy but I liked those changes because the magic and the mistery were smelt in the air too. It was an strange, fascinating beginning.

BASQUE LANGUAGE Basque language is the oldest living language of Europe. It is said our language, Basque, was spoken 20.000 years ago while the Indo-European languages are from 8000 years old so nobody knows where put it. It is isolated language. Nowadays Basque language is spoken in the seven lands of Basque Country:three in France ( Lapurdi, Nafarroa Behera, and Zuberoa) and four in Spain ( Araba, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Nafarroa) but it hasn´t the same status because it is not official in the all territories. There are about three millions(3000000) of people living in the Basque Country and only about one million are speakers of Basque," euskaldunok," it means people whom have the Basque language. People whom speak Basque language.

Could anybody correct me, please? It was a sunny,cold day when he came, the best gift that I never had because it was my birthday too. He was there, his cryngs covered the room and my heart was full of love for him, my little son, my life. I was very nervous , deeply moved because the most important person of my life was between my arms. I saw his blonde hair and his brown eyes and the paradise was there, in those moments in that place . The time stopped, the space dissapeared. Only my son and I.
