Dear Juliet,
What have you been up to lately? Are you still in college?
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you again. I'm sorry I didn't write sooner. I've been meaning to get in touch, but you know how it is. Anyway, I hope that you're well and that everything is going well.
I really enjoyed my time with you, last summer in Canada when we were drinking a lot of beers. By the way, do you remember Carlos? We often talk about you. I have been working with him in his workshop, and next week I have a job interview job to work with my father at Google.
Do you still have the same phone number? I'll give you a call tomorrow. Maybe we could hang out and drink beers again next month?
It would be great to meet up again.
All the best, and hugs and kisses to you,
Beto.
P.S. I'm attaching a picture, that I found it is when you were a little girl in high school.0 votedSeptember 27, 20161Religion Sunrise 1
In the beginning, there was nothing except water. Every thing was created with water. Then the sky and the earth separated into two different places. That was the first thing created by the supreme creator, Allah. The first, the true and the only. These words can be found in the Bible (Gospel / Torah, Old Testament) and the Holy Quran but these days some people think of them as just old stories from old civilizations. Who created the sun Did it come about with the aid of Gabriel or with Lucifer?
To be continued ..0 votedSeptember 26, 20160- La gente Gullah/Geechee Muchos personas dicen que no hay cultura en Estados Unidos por menos sus padres son immigrantes. Especialmente, relacionado con la gente negra en Estados Unidos que son descendentes de esclavos. Pero hay un grupo de gente negra que tiene una cultura fuerte. Estas personas son llamados los Gullah o Geechee. Ellos son descendentes de esclavos de Sierra Leon, Gambia, Liberia, Senegal, Nigeria y otros paises que eran conocidos por su capacidad para cultivar arroz. El Gullah vivían en la región costera de Estados Unidos de Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina pero debido a guerras de los Seminoles y grandes corporationes que robaron de sus tierras para crear un complejos turísticos la mayoría de los gullah se movió . Ahora la mayoria de ellos viven en Charleston, South Carolina. Ellos tienen muchos traditiones de Africa, ellos tienen historias (folklores), un idioma que es una mezcla de ingles y algunos idiomas Africanos. Su idioma es como patwa de Jamaica, Bahamas y Krio de Sierra Leon. Ellos usan palabras como "bobo" que significa "nino," esta palabra viene del tribu de Igbo en Nigeria. Muchos gullah tiene traditiones de Sierra Leon por ejemplo la manera en que ellos hacen su cestos de paja viene de Sierra Leon. En Africa estos cestos estaban usaban para llevar y limpiar arroz. Durante la esclavitudestados los esclavos gullah usaban estos cestos en las plantationes por los mismos razones. Ahora el gullah hacen ellos simplemente por art y vender y guardar sus tradiciones. Estos cestos son llamada "sweet grass baskets" La comida Gullah deriva de comida Africana y la comida de la gente en Estados sureños de Estados Unidos. El gullah come arroz de rojo un derivado de la comida en Oeste Africana se llama "jollof". Tambien, su manera de preparar pescado viene de la comida Africana porque ellos se secan su pescado antes de meterla en su sopa. Han escuchado sobre un tv show llamada Gullah Gullah Island? Pues, estos personas son gullah y el folklore dicho en este tv show son gullah folklore que originado en Africa. Tu estas pensando "Porque ellos tiene muchos traditiones Africana mas que otros Afronorteamericanos?" Es porque durante esclavitud sus amos blancos no viviann en las plantationes durante verano y primavera porque los amos tenían miedo de estar infectados con malaria y por eso solo vienian durante el invierno. Asi que los geechee/gullah practicado sus traditiones sin protestar y transmitio ellos por generaciones.September 26, 201651
