A day in the country.-

Last August we decided to drive into the country.




There were a lot of cars on the road so it took us a long time to find a quiet place.




We got our food out of the car and sat down near a path at the foot of a hill.




Soon afterwards, we Heard bells ringing and we had to run back to the car.





About two hundred sheep were coming down the path !

The church.-

After the war our church was in a very bad condition.




So we decided to build a modern one at the top of a hill just outside the town.




We used many different kinds of materials.




We built the walls of Stone and glass, the heavy doors of Wood and metal.




From the top of the church there is a wonderful view.




You can see the entire town and countryside for miles around.




People from all parts of the country visit the church every day.




It is such an interesting building.

Historias de amor de la historia argentina-Lucía Gálvez.-

Hoy conoceremos la historia de amor de Mariquita Sánchez y Martín Thompson.




Antiguamente, se querían evitar los matrimonios desiguales en fortuna o condición social.





El amor no era considerado un requisito indispensable para la unión conyugal.





Por ejemplo, el padre-generalmente apoyado por el poder civil-quería impedir matrimonios desiguales en fortuna o raza.




Se fomentaban estudios y prácticas de artes y oficios, ejemplo, ayudando a los agricultores.





Pongamos atención en la historia de Mariquita Sánchez, nacida en 1786.






Era una andaluza acriollada de rostro suave, con rulos castaños oscuro y ojos negros.



A los 14 años, le presentaron a un sobrio de su mujer.




Éste hombre era Diego de Arco, español y comerciante, mucho mayor que ella.




Su casa estaba situada en la calle San José y era uno de los más elegantes de Buenos Aires. Cabe resaltar que la familia también tenía otra casa en Recoleta.





La protagonista de ésta historia, había tenido un encuentro desde su infancia con su primo segundo Martín Thompson, nueve años mayor que ella.





El joven era muy atractivo y bastante romántico por cierto.







En ésta oportunidad Mariquita le escribe que querían casarla con otro, pero que ella siempre le sería fiel...





En 1805, Mariquita Sánchez en la Iglesia de la Merced daba le " sí" radiante a Martín Thompson.






Martín y Mariquita tuvieron años muy felices...las reuniones en lo de los Thompson eran muy concurridas.






Había tertulias dónde se escuchaba música mientras la conversación alternaba entre temas de actualidad y política en un ambiente culto y refinado.




Pero tiempo después, sucederá algo inesperado...




Mal alimentado y quizá deprimido, Martín Thompson no llegaría nunca a las costas de Buenos Aires.




Así en 1819 después de una sencilla ceremonia en alta mar, sus restos fueron alejados del agua.



Mariquita vivió muchos años más...




Finalmente le quedarían todavía seis años más para ir a reunirse en 1868 con el primer y gran amor de su vida....
