I need a vacataion...

Necesito unas vacaciones. Malo. My best friend is getting married this summer and told me the other day that they are going to Puerto Vallarta for their honeymoon. I am so jealous! I have never been there so I did a little research and it looks like a pretty amazing place to visit. Yo quiero planear un viaje alli. The beaches, from what I can see in the pictures, are beautiful. Just sitting on the beach reading a book would be perfect for me but there is a whole lot more to do there. Tal vez pueda ir despues de la graduacion. I doubt my parents will get me that for graduation, but it would be nice!

Friendly whales!

Me encanta el mar! I have been many times and my favorite part was getting to see all the cool stuff in the water. Once, when I was in the Cayman Islands, I got to swim with and feed stingrays! Tiene miedo al principo. They were friendly little things. We fed them squid and got to hold one. They are so smooth. I read where a whale in Mexico swam up to some people in a boat! They even got to touch it! como loco? That would have been awesome to see! Hopefully I will get to experience something similar some day!

The worst kind of flood...

Esto is grave. I would hate to have my home flood in the first place, but to have it flooded with raw sewage? Sick! 200 casas fueron afectados por este. There were no fatalities of the 500 hundred people involved but there were a few minor injuries. They are hoping to have this taken care of by Sunday. Es olor tiene que ser horrible. I can't imagine how it is going to be for those people who have to go back into their homes after this type of disaster. There is no way the smell can go away any time soon.

Fires in Mexico

Mexico esta muy caliente! Just like here in the U.S., fires are breaking out every where. Fire officials in Mexico had to call for back up from the U.S. Thousands of acres have been burned because of this wildfire. Bomberos podría dejar que el fuego quema. As of now there aren't any structures in danger so the risk of letting the fire burn, while also being contained in a way, will more than likely be the easiest route. Sondidos de miedo para mi! I wouldn't want to be anywhere near those fires!

Easter in Mexico

Pascua no es sólo un día en México. Easter celebrations last a whole week in Mexico. It is to celebrate what they gave up for lent, Christ's life, and many other Mexican traditions. Muchas personas tienen grande fiestas. Others put on a play about Christ's life. It isn't a small play either. La mayoria de prepararse para un ano entero. I didn't really realize that there were so many Easter traditions in Mexico. Domingo de Ramos también se está viendo hacia arriba. It should be an exciting time in most hispanic families and cultures.

Bad things just keep on happening...

It was reported that 59 bodies were found on a ranch in Mexico yesterday. Mas cuerpos se espera encontrar. Authorities discoverd 8 mass graves on the ranch. When I read this it made me think of some of the things that happened during the holocaust. The thought of a mass grave is mind blowing. Como puede la gente ser tan terrible? Killing just to kill is pure evil. Los responsables deben ser torturado. Hopefully the authorities will find the people responsible and have the worst kind of punishment waiting. Some believe the killers were part of a drug ring. It wouldn't surprise me if that was true.
