Last summer I went to Quiroga Michoacan, It was great, In Quiroga you can admire lots of architectonical highlights of the 17th century, one of it is the baroque style church "Parroquia de San Diego de Alcalá" or the monastery which was founded by the Franciscans order and which is decorated with impressive hand painted porcelain tiles. in this small town houses are traditionally painted white with dark red.




Quiroga offers a great variety of products from Michoacan.I bought some things made of wood,products sold here are produced by local artisans.


Some of the stalls along both sides of the main drag sell simplistic, old-fashioned wooden toys,Other small outdoor stalls offer wooden chairs and stools, and junky little toy guitars and doll houses. There are nice huaraches,some classic styles built upon tire treads and more modern women’s sandals all at good prices, I LOVE QUIROGA because it's not too expensive!!
When I was 12, I went to Veracruz for first time, Veracruz is a fun City, The city is known for its rich traditions of music, including marimba bands, danzón and comparsa.In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled Zocalo called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city's lively nightlife.

the "Grand Café de la Parroquia" is the most famous coffehouse in Veracruz. Its signature drink is the "lechero" which consists of expresso coffee mixed with steamed milk.


The city has several beaches as well, like Villa del Mar and Mocambo.People in Veracruz are pretty Friendly, when I went for first time, I met some great people and I made friends.





Last year, I went to veracruz with my brother and his wife,we had a great time,we went to diving in "Cancuncito" a part in the middle of the port where the sand is tall enough to let you walk and when the tide is low an island emerge from the sea, really cool, and something I didn't belive I could see in Veracruz, coral reef,Veracruz is a commercial port , so the beaches are not nice, but that "Cancuncito" place It's ok.The people of Veracruz say it is just like Cancun, not true, but it is nice.














I saw some sea animals, some cool fishes, some "Erizos de Mar" those animals with tons of pointy spikes that hurt a lot, I don't know their name in english.

















YOU SHOULD PLAN A TRIP THERE SOMETIME!!!!!!!!!

Pets


Animals of all kinds respond to loving care and attention. It can indeed be a joy to see them interact with caring humans who have tamed them.
When people exercise proper dominion over animals, the result can be heartwarming. A beloved animal may be viewed as a treasured companion, even as part of the family.Especially noteworthy is the useful relationship between the blind and their guide dogs.Truly, the rapport between such dogs and their masters is often a pleasure to behold.
Pets benefit the elderly as well,animal pets, including dogs, give purpose and meaning at a time when the elderly often are alienated from society,also Companion animals are associated with lower stress, fewer doctors' visits and even better survival rates after heart attacks.

My childhood


When I was a child my family and I used to visit my grandfather every wednesday.
my grandfather was about 80 years old,when he was living in the rach, I remember that my parents were worried because he was living alone, but, in my opinion my grand father was strong and healthy. he used to do a lot of things.
one day he gave me a surprise, he built a nice little house made of wood to me, I was happy,I spent long hours playing with my sister and my cousin into the house,this is my favorite memorie.
Throughout history, grandparents have been the key to family harmony,I wondered how our society had possibly come to dismiss this powerful, grandparent role.True, our grandparents may have grown up in a world quite different from the one in which we now live,But you can be sure that at one time or another, they have felt the very same feelings that we are struggling with now.in my opinion grandparents can be good listeners and a source of advice and support,No doubt about it, drawing close to your grandparents can enrich your life as well as theirs,While grandparents can offer you their wisdom and love, they can also benefit from your youthful energy and companionship. How so? Well, there are likely a number of ways in which you can be of help and support to your grandparents. Oftentimes, their physical strength is fading. Or they may be battling ill health. No doubt they would be encouraged if you helped them with shopping and household chores.
two years ago my grandfather died, I have got some things that he gave me, maybe these things are nothing to someone,but to me they mean memories of my childhood.
