The legend of Nahuales

Nahuales are Aztec warlock and exist since prehispanic times. Commonly, they live in rural communities or hills, but come from the South of Mexico. They are old and ugly warlock with devilish look. Only at night can be transformed. They are transformed in different animals like donkeys, snakes, wolves or coyotes; although it's more normal to transformed into a big black dog. Hide in thickets or in the deep forest to attack their victims. People say that they attack children to suck their blood, lonely travelers to steal, lonely women to violate them and to his enemies.

The Posadas

A traditional celebration in my country are the posadas . Every year, from 16th to 24th of December  people in my country celebrate the holidays with their family and friends.

It is a way to represent the pilgrimage that Mary and Joseph did to find inn where Jesus could be born.

Guests ask for shelter singing, Everybody breaks a piñata full of candy and fruit, then eat traditional dishes and drink punch.

The posadas started to celebrate in Augustinian temples in colonial times, with the purpose of evangelize the indigenous.

Special Talents

Emiliano zapata impresses me the most because  he was a great fighter man interested for his country and the liberty and dignity of the mexicans who worked the land.



Edgar Allan Poe impresses me the most because he was a great writer of terror stories leveraging their bipolar disorder.

A letter about my vacation

Dear Enrike:

 Hi! How are you? I'm having a great time here in Zacatecas :D! My family and I are staying downtown. The hotel room is very wide and comfortable.  The weather of the city is too cold, but still I love it![p1] 

Yesterday, we went to visit the mine "El Eden", is an amazing and interesting historical sight. Then, we boarded the cable car, it was fantastic! We had a spectacular view and of course I took many photographs J. Unfortunately, my aunt caught a flu.[p2] 

Tomorrow, we're going to hike to the hill of "The Bufa". We're going to give a tour for the historical center too.[p3] 

 

Well, I must go now. We're going for lunch at a nearby restaurant. See you when I get back!  [p4] 

Love ♥,

Yadira

E- mail of my experience in Cancun :D

Dear Kike,


Guess where I am! I am in the beautiful city of Cancun, Mexico. I came to a conference with my classmates and we decided to take a vacation. It's awesome here, I love it ♥!

Tomorrow I'm going to go visiting the underwater park and I am going to snorkel and I will need to use flippers on my feet to help me swim. I'll probably see the coral reefs and the amazing creatures of the exotic sea. I might go to see the beautiful sculptures out of cement by Jason deCaires Taylor, he is a fantastic artist. I’ll definitely have a great time with my friends. I can't wait more!

Definitely, you should come here :D!!


See you soon!



Yadira (:
