Okay so it is my last week here. And I am really focusing on my Spanish this week. So I am going to write my blog in Spanish/ Spanglish. I am not using google translate to write in Spanish so there will be mistakes. I apologize in advance. I am going to put the completed entry in google translate to translate from Spanish to English so more people can read it. But I am not making corrections in either language. Here goes...
Mariachis están viajando entre los barcos.
Saturday started with an excursion to Xochimilco and the small boats. There is a large lake with houses on the land next to it. The boats were similar to bumper cars but in the water. There were drinks and food on the boat and ducks, fish, and an animal new to me. The axolotl is on 50 peso bills and lives in the water. Now most of the people in Mexico keep the 50 peso bills and now there is not much in circulation in Mexico. Mariachis are traveling between the ships.
Hubo una tienda en la tierra al lado con hierbas y velas naturales. La tienda es gratis pero ver los animales especiales es 100 pesos. He visto los axolotles. No me gusta porque los pensé un poco gross y no fue lindos. Después el barco hubo muchas tiendas de comida, ropa, y recuerdos. Y hubo Voladores de Papantla. No los supe nada pero que interesante.
Después fuimos a la Casa Azul - la casa de Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera. La Casa Azul era la casa de su infancia también. Yo pienso Diego Rivera compró la casa para ella después su boda. Estoy amando Frida Kahlo desde 1990 cuando era en la escuela de "high school." Mi clase fuimos a Nueva York ver las obras de arte de Frida Kahlo. Ella es una mujer fuerte, diferente, bonita, independiente, con una vida llena de tristeza y talento.
La casa tuvo un ambiente brillante con colores diferentes y arte en todos tipos. Hay fotos, pinturas, dibujos, ropa, joyeria, plantas, jardines y todos son artes. En maneras Frida Kahlo parece que me hija. Espero que la vida de mi hija tendrá arte sin la dolor.
There was a shop on the land next door with natural herbs and candles. The store is free but to see the special animals is 100 pesos. I have seen the axolotles. I don't like it because I thought they were a bit gross and it wasn't pretty. After the ship there were many shops for food, clothing, and souvenirs. And there were Voladores de Papantla. I didn't know anything but how interesting.
Que día bonita!
Then we went to the Casa Azul - the house of Frida
Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The Blue House was her childhood home as well. I think Diego Rivera bought the house for her after her wedding. I have loved Frida Kahlo since 1990 when I was in high school. My class went to New York to see the art of Frida Kahlo. She is a strong, different, beautiful, independent woman, with a life full of sadness and talent. The house had a bright atmosphere with different colors and art in all kinds. There are photos, paintings, drawings, clothes, jewelry, plants, gardens and they are all arts. In ways Frida Kahlo seems like my daughter. I hope my daughter's life will have art without the pain. What a beautiful day!
