Mexico Lindo

Listen to poem:

Mi Mexico lindo: Burnt orange and ochre -- color de cafe -- pineapple, lime, red pajaritos... land of mananas, grace in mantillas... balanced canastas, ojos expresivos. Sunshine and heat, fiesta y corrida, salt and tortilla, pride and tequila. Frijol and machismo and chile con queso. Adobe, caliche, sweet agua fria... Mexico, te amo mucho, y su gente amable!

Hey, you pude leer tu poema. Lo siento. No siempre escribo muy bien en espanol. Me gusta mucho!

Nice use of the macaronic---although all did not need translation...which enters the obvious sometimes
