Mis vacciones de semana santa 2007

Hi everyone
I am going to tell about what I did in the holidays for Semana Santa (For Easter and Good Friday).
First, we went to la Granja del Abuelo with Sra. Lorena, Andrea, Carlos, Gracia, her parents, aunt, cousins and her grandmother. In this place, there are ranch animals like horses, cows, ostrich, goats, sheep, rabbits and mules. You can feed them and play there. We milked cows, I was scared initially but it was interesting. I liked the Granja del abuelo very much.
Then, we went with Dra. Lilia, Sra. Luz Maria, Sra. Lorena, Sr. Carlos, Srta. Yessica, Andrea and Carlos, to a little town called Ceballos and then to a ranch “La Flor”. There some of their family has been living for a long time. They are in the Zona del Silencio, (silence zone), Durango (a state near Coahuila). Further this comes under one of the biosphere reserves and one of the protected areas in Mexico, called Mapimi. It’s a semi desertic place. But it’s very beautiful. In La Flor there is a museum. We visited it. Though it was small, it was interesting. Then, Andrea, Carlos, me and other children went to explore in a little hill near by. We saw many chameleons and many cactus as biznagas, tree cholla, etc. Then we went to ride on a horse. It was fun. We also ate a delicious food, a type of gorditas (a typical Mexican food) and homemade cheese In La Flor they had horses, hens, chickens and pigs. This place is very good, even though it’s in a semi desertic place.
On another day, we went to Gracia’s aunt house. There we played with the water and soap bubbles in the Jacuzzi. We were there all day. It was very much fun. On the same night we went to El Cristo de las Noas with Dra. Lilia, Sra. Luz Maria, Sra. Lorena, Srta. Yessica, Andrea and Carlos. It is a very big and tall statue of Christ. It is very beautiful. It is the second tallest statue of Christ in the world, next to the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Andrea, Carlos and me were playing outside the church. The Cristo de las Noas and the church are in a hill called Cerro de las Noas. From there we can see the view of three cities, Torreon, Gomez Palacio and Lerdo. It’s very nice.
On Saturday 14th April, amma made pongal, sambar, vadai, and payasam for the Tamil New Year. When I got up on that day, amma made me to go first to a mirror, which was decorated with jewels. The food should not be tasted while you are preparing it. We prayed and then ate. The food was very tasty. We also went to Andrea’s house on Sunday because it was Sra. Lorena’s birthday. From the 9th of April we started training basket ball again. I liked this vacation.
