CP 9

For this community practice I decided to go to a restaurant I haven't been to in a while. Its called Puerto Vallarta. The food there is amazing and their desserts even better. This time I only went and got dessert. I got sopapilla which is my favorite dessert there. They're so light and really yummy with the chocolate sauce but i love to eat them with honey. They make all their tortillas are all made fresh and you can see the lady making them by hand. I think that that is really cool because not too many people or restaurants do that.

CP 10

Today before work I spotted a little "fair" and it was a Spanish gathering. It actually was a lot of fun. They were so welcoming and nice. Not to many people are like that now a days. They had music playing, some dancers dancing the tango and something called the zambra. They were some beautiful dances and their outfits were even more beautiful. I couldn't stay too long but the time that I was there I had a lot of fun and wish I could have stayed later. The picture I took is the back of the couple and I took it in black and white because I feel like that is more romantic. This one lady loved it so much that she wanted me to send it to her so she could use it.


CP 7+8

Last night I got some really bad news about my aunt so I left work early and decided to throw on a movie from Netflix. The first movie that came up was El Cielo en Tu Mirada. I made me even more sad since it was about death and guardian angels but I think it was the perfect movie for my mood. It wasn't the best Spanish movie that I have seen and it wasn't too well acted out but aside from the sadness it was kind of funny. The main guy wants a second chance at life just to win a singing contest to win over a girl. It just sounds so middle school but that's alright.

CP 6

If anyone really knows me then they know that I grew up listening to Spanish and it is one of my favorite types of music. Usually on Sunday nights while driving home from work I listen to the Spanish radio. I may not understand half the songs but I love to feel the music and the raw emotion is some of the slower songs. Selena is probably one of my favorite Spanish singers. She was so talented. I always look forward to listening to the Spanish radio every Sunday Night

CP 4+5

The other movie that I watched was El Cartel De Los Sapos. This movie I wasn't too much into but it definitely was interesting. Basically a guy needed a way to get money and so he starts to invest in drugs.  He started to work for North Valley Cartel. It is one of the most brutal drug embezzlers ever. He go in a lot of trouble and with all the trouble and all the attention Martin begins to have family troubles. If someone really likes this sort of movie I would highly recommend it to them.

CP2+3

Last weekend I decided to watch movies all day since I did not work. The first movie I watched was Te present a Laura. I really liked it and it did not have the ending it thought it was going to have. Basically there is a girl and a guy and they fall in love but no matter what Laura is supposed to die April 30 and at the end of it she runs away the guy finds her and he saves her. And then it ends. I have no idea if they live happily ever after or not. Other than that it was a very good movie. I liked the way the directors went and they defiantly kept you up on your toes.

CP1

Today while I was at the Lowes to pick up a couple of things.  I checked out using the self check out machine. I wasn't too confident in my ability with using the Spanish button but I did it anyways. I had to ask help a couple of times but I eventually got it and I was able to buy my paint and plants successfully.
I was very excited that i was able to get through it without too much trouble. I was very happy with myself.
