Entertainment in spanish speaking countries

My blog is on what are some fun things you can do when you visit mexico.  Some fun things to do are:  visit the Alhambra in Granada.  See Frank Gehry's amazing arcutecture.  You could go skiing in the Navanda Mountains.  Take part in a local village fiesta.  Or you could stomp your feet on the Flamenco.  These are only a few things to do there are many more.  I think the coolest one would be skiing in the Navanda Mountains because i never thought that they got snow there but apprentaly they do in some places.  I also think that looking at some of Frank Gehry's arcutect would be cool.  i would like to go to mexico someday and look at all of this stuff.

I have learned that mexico has a lot of things for tourists to do when they go there.  They could go the beach look at arcutecture, take part in a village fiesta, or even hang out at the beach but whatever they would do they would probably have a good time.

Mexican food

Some tradional mexican food dishes are:  Tamales with steamed masa with filling,  pollo encantado, and chile en nogada.  Mexican food has been around for a long time, but these are some of the dishes that have become very popular over the years, and people have gooton to like.  Mexico has given chocolate to the world, as well as many other specialties,  such as:  peanuts, vanilla, beans, coconuts, and tomatoes.  The mexican cusuine finally met the cusine from the north and Tex-Mex food was created.  Tex-Mex is a blend of flavors and recipes from the Mexican, Texas and American cultures.  Every tourist will find Mexican cuisine to be an interesting choice. It is commonly said that visiting Mexico and not tasting mexican food is like not visting mexico at all.

I have learned a lot about the mexican foods, and cultures.  I didnt know that there was such a tradition behind all of the mexican food.  I have heard of Tex-Mex but i didnt really know what it was but now i know it is a combination of Mexican, Texas, and American cultures all mixed together.  I would like to go there someday and try some of there food it looks good.

This is what some of the tradional mexican food looks like.

Texas

My blog is on Texas.  Texas is know as the lone star state.  Texas's capital is Austin.  In texas there are many diffrent races of people.  There are alot of Mexicans that go to Texas because there are more jobs in the United States so the mexicans jump the border and go to texas to start a new life.  In Texas a lot of mexicans work on ranches.  But some of them go to college and get good jobs and send money to their relatives in mexico.  Some facts about texas are:  2/3 of texas speaks english and the other 1/3 speaks spanish.  There are 254 counties in texas.  The population of texas is 20,044,141.  The land area of texas is 262,015 square miles so it is big.

I learned that texas is a really big state with a lot of people.  I also learned that there are many diffrent races in texas.  and the two main languages in texas are spanish and english.  and mexicans jump the border so that they can start a better life or send money home to there relatives in mexico.  I would like to go to texas someday i think it would be cool.
