Apart from his family, Paco has got a lot of friends. They like football and they usually play it at weekends but they don't like doing the lottery every week, so Paco always does it on his own.

Fortunately, Paco doesn't have to share the lottery prize with anybody else. He doesn't really know what to do with this huge amount of money. He knows well his own likes, hobbies and interests and, above all, he is completely sure that he wants to make a tour round the world: he extremely loves travelling.

Paco enjoys going to the cinema with his friends. Action and mystery movies are his favourite ones. He also likes playing tennis and basketball at weekends. But his most enjoyable hobby is fishing. Paco is very good at it. He loves going fishing with his father. Both of them always practise catch and release fishing, that is to say, they don't take the fish home, they return the fish to the water. That is why he doesn't like hunting at all, because you kill animals.

Now Paco has the opportunity to buy a great fishing rod for his father. In fact, Paco can give him a motorboat. The whole family can go fishing to any reservoir around Cáceres with it.

Is William Wallace wearing a skirt?

Braveheart
By Nick Slide Creative Commons.

Obviously, Wallace isn't wearing a skirt. He is wearing a kilt, which is a knee-length garment, originating in the traditional dress of men and boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century. Since the 19th century it has been associated with the wider culture of Scotland.

Though the Scottish kilt is most often worn mainly on formal occasions or at sports events, it has also been adapted as an item of fashionable informal, and formal, male clothing in recent years.
