Los Rapidos Experience
When I was a child, my family and I belong to an association of campers in which we went so many differents places in the Mexican Republic. In the camps, we did activities like swimming, visit some kinda archaeological sites, we did activities in nature like wood fire, in this wood fire we spoke with others campers about our experiences that we had in various places. One day we went to "los rapidos" in Veracruz.
I never worked in a camp, but I have the experience

    There once was a time that I went to cabo San Lucas Mexico with my family. The reason that this trip was so special too was because I got to spend a whole week with my grandparents, aunts and uncles and most importantly my parents. When we first got we went to are rooms and put are thing down then went right down to the pool. I can still remember the way the pool look and felt because I got cut on one of the tiles in the pool. One there reasons I liked the pool so much is you could just sit there and watch the sun set. Then the next day I went fishing on the beach that was so cool casting out a fishing line and sitting there waiting with family there beaches are so beautiful and nice like the ones you see in TV commercials. I haven’t even got to the best part they have a little cruise called sunset cruise. You rode on a pirate ship and watch people fight and watch the sun go down. I was a lot like the movie call peter pan. This little cruise was so special because in a hurry and I got locked out of my room I forgot to wear shoes so I was without shoes that whole night. There is one restraints that you have to go to when you are there I mean they have unreal food. They have huge tacos filled with anything you want with beans, rice and a side salad. I can taste it now. I also remember the time I went with my grandparents to the beach after the sun went down with one of my uncles. You have experienced nothing until that happened I mean the sand nice and cold between your toes swimming in the ocean you feel so free and wild. That is why cabo San Lucas Mexico is so special to me. I have a lot of good memories there with my…

    We travelled for about four days or so. It was night when we got to Tijuana and at the bus station, two guys were already waiting to take us to their house.Their house did not have beds or anything inside; this house was far away from the city. It looked like no one was living there but there were people inside. They all were drunk and looked overdosed. They were gangs that go at the border and ask people for money and if people don't gave them what they ask they would kill…

    Mexico is a place full of cactus rather than trees and bushes. The grass is not as visible as much as the sand is. Homes are built out of concrete and big grey blocks with simple shapes rather than elegant red bricks with fine smooth walls. Though through its humble looks and people, Mexico is quite a festival each night. Mexico is a place that inspires me because of the beautiful sights, delicious taste, and the pleasant auditory.…

    In the Hispanic culture, one of the most common and well-known traditions is a Quinceañera. Going to another cultural event that is different from my own is very educational yet a rewarding experience. Some of the distinct elements that really put the event together are the experience of the event, the different phrases in that culture, verbal communication and cultural distinctiveness of the culture, and was able to understand how the Hispanic culture is different from traditional American culture.…

    History, like a good book or movie, can be vivid, romantic, and tragic all at once. And perhaps there’s no greater tragedy than the one of Old Mexico about the man and his wife that came to rule a perfect world only to be left disappointed, heartbroken and put to a cruel death for one, and a life-long commitment to a mental institution for the other.…

    Joyas Voladoras

    “A hummingbird’s heart is as small as a pencil eraser, a whale’s heart is as big as a room, and a human’s heart is somewhere in between the two.” Brain Doyle introduces various aspects of hearts to the reader in his essay “Joyas Voladoras.” Doyle himself writes, “A hummingbird’s heart beats ten times a second. They can dive at sixty miles an hour’’(273). Doyle describes the physical aspect of a hummingbird’s heart. The uniqueness of a hummingbird's heart limits its life span roughly two years. Doyle continues his comparative analysis of hearts by describing a whale’s heart. According to Doyle, “The biggest heart in the world is inside the blue whale....it’s as big as a room. ‘It is a room, with four chambers...a child could walk around in it’’(274). Doyle compares the number of heart chambers with those of other mammals, reptiles, fish, worms, and bacteria. The numbers range from four chambers in a whale to none in bacteria. He then connects the animals’ heart chambers to a human heart’s chambers and then Doyle starts explaining the emotional side of a human heart. In the end of Doyle’s essay he presents a series of emotionally charged scenes: “The words I have to tell you something, a cat with a broken spine dragging itself into the forest to die, the brush of your mother’s papery ancient hand in the thicket of your hair”(275). These scenarios suggest that no matter how strong you build your walls to protect your heart, they can easily come down with life experiences such as a breakup, loss of a loved one, or love at first sight. Doyle’s justification of a physical heart relies more on a mammals’ heart, and an emotional heart is what makes us human.…

    Usually in the afternoon my uncle would take us to the lake; the water was icy cold but it did not matter since there was nothing comparable to the fun that we had at the lake. There was a garden just a few miles away from the house, and often on Saturdays we would go there. Following our swim in the lake, we would eat luscious fruit from the trees. For two hours or more, we would savor sweet peaches, mangos, juicy oranges and sweet guavas. Then, we would return to the house at sunset. On our way back, my uncle would let us ride the mule, since the journey was long. At last, my family would gather around a bonfire to tell scary stories under the starry, dark sky. All of these meals and excursions were such heavenly fun—it is easy to see why Saturdays in Mexico were the most exciting days of my life.…
