- Posadas In Mexico we are about to start the time of the "posadas". From December 16 to December 24 people celebrate posadas, which represent the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Belem looking for a place where Mary could give birth to his son. During this days people eat "tamales" and drink "ponche". Kids love to break the "piñatas" (they represent the 7 major sins and the triumph of good over evil, we inherited this tradition from the Spanish colonization) It´s a great time to enjoy with family and neighbors. How do you celebrate the days before Christmas?December 13, 201520

Hola, me llamo Bailey. Tengo veintitrés años. Soy Americana (norteamericana/ estadounidense)de Alabama. Estoy (estudio)en un internado en Nueva Orleans para ser nutricionista. Sólo me faltan siete meses más para terminar. Después del internado, quiero viajar y enseñar inglés en un país donde se hable español. Quiero aprender este idioma para poder vivir y hablar con gente nativa. También estoy aprendiendo el español porque me gusta la cultura latina.
Disfruto muchas cosas en la vida. Dos de mis cosas favoritas son cocinar y bailar. Ahora estoy aprendiendo a bailar salsa y es muy refrescante. También me encanta escribir, viajar y leer.
Mucho gusto0 votedDecember 4, 20150- Mexican famous legend Hi! I want to share with you a traditional mexican legend, I appreciate corrections... Once upon a time the Aztecs controlled all the small villages in the central part of Mexico. The "caciques" (leaders of the villages) were tired of paying tribute to the Aztecs. The Tlaxcaltecas were brave warriors, so they decided to declare the war to the Aztecs. Iztaccíhuatl was the daughter of the Tlaxcaltecas´ leader and was in love with Popocatépetl, a strong man. Popocatépetl wanted to marry Iztaccíhuatl so he made a treat with her father. He was going to fight in the war and if he returned alive he would have the permission to marry Iztaccíhuatl. Time passed, an evil man told Iztaccíhuatl that Popocatépetl had died at war... she was very sad. The war ended and Popocatépetl came back, the people told him that Iztaccíhuatl died of sadness. Popocatépetl was sad and angry, he ordered some men to buid a tomb in the top of a mountain. He took Iztaccíhuatl´s body to the tomb and climbed a mountain that was located in front of her with the purpose of looking out her sleep. Winter came and the snow covered their bodies, after that,they transformed into volcanoes. Today Popo and Itza are known as the eternal lovers, they are the most famous volcanoes in Mexico. This legend is known by little kids and also by old people.December 4, 201540
I think that the current meaning of the word "feminism" has nothing to do with the original "purpose". Feminism was a movement that grew stronger at the beginning of the xxth century, the main objective was to acquire "equality" between men and women. Nowadays many people understand feminism as women´s flag to feel better than men, rather than attending a process to gain the same rights and opportunities.
