We want to Cancun, Mexico. The very first day we flew into Cancun, Mexico on the American Airlines. We stayed at the Paradisus Cancun. The total cost of the flight and hotel all together was $648. Our hotel is so cool it has free wifi, free food, and a pool. The first night we went there we went and ate at The 5 senses it is a popular tourist spot because it has, live music and a club next door. On the second day we were in Cancun, Mexico we got up early to go snorkeling in the ocean. We went out with Scuba Diving Cancun company, a really good company for taking snorkeling trips. It only cost us $130. We really enjoyed it and saw many extoic fish. Than we decided to go to Playa Delfines beach it is a favorite beach in the town we are staying…
Naturally, the beaches are the biggest draw in Cancun with their soft, white sand and brilliant turquoise-blue water. Cancun's Hotel Zone is really just one long beach separated from the mainland by a system of lagoons.…
The first reason Punta Cana is the best place to spend the summer is because the water is very nice. We can be calm without any concern. It is the cleanest and safe water I have seen at any beach. It is also the most colorful water. There is no other beach with such wonderful water.…
In the short story "Mexico," the author Sandra Cisneros uses very long, detailed sentences as a form of syntax, which is the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language, and uses descriptive words to set the mood, theme, and setting of her short story, which is called diction. Cisneros' style and usage of syntax and diction are critical elements to the short story.…
We did a lot of different activities while we were there and not much time. I swam in the ocean and the water was so cool and refreshed I felt like I was in a clean pool. It was very hot there and always in the day because the sun. The sun beating down on me and once my body hit the refreshed water I loved the feeling as I came up from the water.…
Currently, the U.S is in a predicament similar to the fall of the Aztec Empire. After interference from outside sources the country is sparked into a war that causes a spiral of its economy downward. After the incident of 9/11 by Al-Queda we invaded Iraq and reinforced the lust for American blood by the the 3rd world countries. The war with Afghanistan raged on and during this time there was an impact on U.S citizen’s views on the citizens of 3rd world countries like Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. U.S citizens became hostile toward dark skin colored people who wore headdresses similar to turbans, what Al-Queda members wore during 9/11 attack. Turbans and Hijabi are associated with a religion popular in these third world countries, but as Al-Queda…
Cancún is a huge vacation spot for honeymooning couples, kids on spring break and families.…
One of the first instances that I can remember concerning cultural shock, was when I took a Western Caribbean cruise with friends. I was naïve and in my early twenties, traveling with three other females for spring break. We spent three days on the beaches of FL, and then took a four-day cruise that stopped at multiple Latin American destinations.…
I read everything I can about the Mexico-America border. I'm slightly obsessed with it- partially due to the first trip I spent in Mexico, where we studied border issues in depth. It's not really fair to speak of Mexico without the context of the United States and/or the border, and honestly, it's not really fair to talk about the United States without talking about Mexico. A whole lot of us (me included) live in what used to be Mexico (now referred to by people in the Chicano Movement as "Aztlan"), which was surrendered/taken/stolen by the US after the Spanish/American war in 1848. (See this dramatic map). It's a whole lot of white/colonial/American privilege that most people in el norte don't even know about this. And much more recently, a whole lot of incredibly destructive policies have created a push/pull situation where Mexican are both enticed to the United States and forced to look elsewhere for their income. This isn't a history lesson, so I'm not going to discuss all of these factors, or the US policy's…
At the age of two my parents made the long and devastating journey to bring me and my siblings to the United States from Mexico. They sought for a brighter and better future for us and fought tooth and nail to give us the world they didn’t have growing up. Ever since I had stepped foot on U.S soil I never had the chance to go back. The sacrifices that permitted me to be able to attend school for free and giving me a better head start than I would’ve had if we’d stayed couldn’t mask the effects of the move. I didn’t grow up being enriched by the colorful culture that Mexico has, I missed out on the opportunity to share moments with my family from abroad, and fought the struggle of trying to blend in, in an environment that was so different…
I will never forget my trip to Key West. It started off with a long tiring drive. We were ready to sit on the beach on the last week of summer. So we all thought it would be worth the wait but, little did we know the troubles amoung us.…
Central Idea: Dolphins are unique creatures that possess numerous abilities such as, their intelligence, communication skills, and behavioral patterns.…
Dolphins are marine mammals and fully adapted to live in water. It is generally believed that dolphins are some of the most incredibly intelligent creatures on earth. They belong to a group of mammals called Cetaceans, which also include all whales. Besides, dolphins are warm blooded and use the blow hold at the top of their heads to breathe air like other land animals although they live in the sea. There are 32 different species of oceanic dolphins, 5 species of river dolphins, and 6 species of porpoises.…
My uncle recently just moved to Mexico City because of work. He started by renting a house just of a construction site, but close enough to drive to work in about ten to fifteen minutes. He didn’t like the place because of the loud sounds of the machinery or the clanking of the metal poles as they were building a convenient store. He understandably didn’t particularly enjoy the smell the sweat of the men or the newly put concrete or the close garbage bins which surrounded the construction place. A week has passed and he started noticing strange actions which the surrounding people were doing, but didn’t think much of it as he didn’t know if it was some sort of tradition or event which happened in the middle of summer. He saw a lot of people throughout the day, but there were always the same people on the same spot for what seemed for days now.…
Dolphins live in deep waters but come to the shores and shallow waters for food at times. Though they live in water, they are mammals and breath air through their blowhole. Some dolphins rise up to the surface every 20 to 30 seconds and some can hold their breath for more than 30 minutes. They are very social and playful animals with curious habits and are very intelligent in behavior. They live in pods like other whale species and travel large distances for food and reproduction. When they sleep, half of their brain is active and so one of their eyes is always open. These are also some very important dolphin facts for kids.…
