NARRATIVE-PERSONAL BIO - Pau Fontelles

Every summer my family and I, as I have done all my childhood ,we used to get the car and with a caravan that we have made a trip. Every year we used to go to a different european country, so two years ago, we sat down, as every year, and after long time of debating where to go, we decided to go to Portugal. I don’t if it was a casual situation but when we had just decided the location were to pass our hollidays a blackout came in.

After the long four days travel in the car, when we where just a few hours from the càmping where we where going to park our caravan in. Our car engine broke up in the middle of the nowhere.  With a temperature of approximately 40 degrees, we had to stay there an wait for our car Insurance to come. We couldn’t have been as far as we were for any city. The nearest one was at 3 hours by car. So we had to wait there for the crane, during more than 5 hours.

When they came, they treated us very well. And we talked about, our differents types of childhoods and the different ways of live in the city and in the countryside. Nowadays we remember this as a funny memory.
