Missing from a disney cruise

Going on a cruise was one of my most favorite vacations ever! Los barcos son enormes. It was very easy to get lost on the ship. A Disney cruise ship reported one of their crew members missing from the ship when she didn't show up for work one morning. ¿Dónde podría estar? I can't imagine how the crew member's family must feel. Investigaters have searched the ship and have yet to find her. They are still investigating, but have yet to release the name of the missing woman. No creo que ella está en el barco. It would have been really easy for someone to tiss this missing woman over the side of the ship. It is scary to think about but very possible.

Kids and the drug wars...

I can't even imagine growing up in a place that has so much violence that parts of Mexico has today. Estos chicos han visto cosas horribles. No me gusta que para ellos. This article that I read is about a competition that kids in Mexico could enter about drawing their interpretation of the last 200 years since Mexico's Independance. Instead, it turned out that the main entries were of what these children see everyday in Mexico. These drawings were of killings and bombings and dead bodies they would see lying in the street. Es dificil de imaginar. You can read more about it in the article, but it is a crazy story.

No Go Mexico

Otra advertencia de no viajar a México. Carnival Cruise decided to suspend travel to Mexico for a while. There is so much violence going on these in Mexico these days that I am getting the feeling that no one is safe there. Yo tendría miedo por mis hijos si yo fuera un padre. I even saw where WT sent out an e-mail warning students of the dangers in Mexico for Spring Break travel. Es triste que las cosas están tan mal. I sure hope Mexican officails can get some sort of handle on this situation. It is getting to a point where there is probably not much that can be done to prevent random killings and what not. Hopefully those who are brave enough to travel to Mexico go to safe places and have no troubles.

Service Activity

Me encanta estar con los niños de primer grado hoy! Those little kids were cracking me up! Martha and I read our story to them and I think they really enjoyed it. The students were really involved and asking and answering questions. Creo que realmente le gusta. Sé que le gusta recibir dulces! Martha and I did our lesson over the colors. Some of the students already knew what some of the spanish words were but many of them did not. One of the kids said he made a verde light saber. Ha! All and all our lesson went really well. They seemed to enjoy having us there. Teaching is what I am in school for so I was pretty much in my element. It was fun!

Mexico: A Spring Break No-No

Me encantaría ir a México para las vacaciones de primavera. Me broma. I think I will be staying away from Mexico this year. I read an article that said DPS is advising travelers to stay away from Mexico this spring break. The drug wars are in full force and there is no telling when they will end. Innocent people are dying everyday because of these drug wars. Me gustaría tienen miedo todos los días. It worries me to think about the families that are living through all of this. I would never let my kids out of my sight, if I had any. Estas guerras de las drogas no es necesario. Hopefully things will be under control sometime in the near future.
