Can Brazil continue to slow deforestation in the Amazon?

Los arboles en las Amazonas son cortan para plantar maiz. Government officials say that Brazil is doing it "to survive." However, there are many people that disagree. The Brazil nut tree takes up to 400 years to grow where as the corn plant only takes four months. Some argue that the Brazil nut tree is a staple to traditional Amazon life and should not be taken away. 

Motorcycle Diaries

Cuando mire "Motorcycle Diaries", yo aprendí y reconocí la diferencia en los países. Some of the countries have a slight difference in their dialect and their use of slang. I would compare it to the way we speak in Texas and the way people speak in New York.

Caldo

Tradicionalmente, caldo es mas o menos un "broth". Pero, mi tia lo hace con espaguetis, pollo, y verduras. Verduras como tomatoes, celery, and peppers fueron utilizados en su version.

Thanksgiving

Para Thanksgiving, yo fui a la casa de mi amiga mejor en Lubbock, Texas. Comimos cado y chile con pan de maiz. Con toda la familia alli, celebramos y dimos gracias.
