La cuidad mía...

CHICAGO!

Primero, amo la ciudad de Chicago porque la gente que vive aquí es la mejor del mundo. Estas personas son muy amables y simpre estan dispuestas a ayudar si lo necesitas.

Segundo, Chicago es muuuy bonito, creo que es la ciudad más bonita del mundo. Tenemos un contorno muuy impresionante, y siempre hay algo para hacer. Siempre digo que es imposible estar abburido en Chicago, porque se puede ir a ver un espectáculo, ir a la playa, ir a la parte superior de la Torre de Willis, y mucho más. También, cambia la ciudad con cada estación. En la primavera, los parqes son fantasticos. Las flores empiezan a florar, hay un olor muy refrescante, y los colores son muy vividos. En el verano, se puede ir a las playas y quedarse afuera para relajarse. En el otoño, los arboles se cambian a muchos colores diferentes y bonitos. Y en el invierno, se puede patinar sobre hielo. ¡Es fantastico!

I live in the a city named San Salvador, which is the capital of El Salvador, the smaller country in the American Continent. Located in the Central American ithsmus, San Salvador has a good weather most of the year, between 14 and 30 Celsius degrees.

enter image description here

San Salvador is placed over a volcanic area, and the soil is indeed volcanic ash because the whole national territory is abundant in vulcanos, although we haven't had an eruption of the nearest vulcano to the city in more than a century.

enter image description here

Of course, there are areas in this little country where there aren't vulcanos, unfortunately such areas aren't very fertile and as a consequence people who came to populated this land established mostly in the zones where soils are fertile and the weather fresher, which is where are most vulcanos.

enter image description here

San Salvador is relatively a small city and -unlike Chicago- here there are almost not high buildings owing to a lack of planification, the type of soils and the seismicity. enter image description here

The capital also has a good system of highways and roads and all the territory is very well connected.

enter image description here

Although El Salvador is not a rich or developed country, sometimes it looks like it was at the end of the rainbow.

I live in New Orleans. Better known to some as the "Big Easy."

New Orleans is best known for it's historic culture, festivals and food.

Mardi Gras is one of the biggest attractions and people from everywhere come for the festivities

Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday." It is the day before Ash Wednesday, a day of celebration and partying before the rigors of Lent's forty days of fasting and sacrifice. While the calendar shows Mardi Gras as a Tuesday, the festivities begin much earlier, on January 6th (Kings Day), and most of the celebration is in the form of Balls and Parades for two weeks or more before Mardi Gras Day. I can't name everything here, but if you've never been to New Orleans, you are missing out on a real treat!!smile

Mardi Gras es uno de los mayores atractivos y la gente de todas partes vienen para las fiestas

Mardi Gras es el francés para "martes gordo". Es el día antes del Miércoles de Ceniza, un día de celebración y fiesta antes de que los rigores de cuarenta días de Cuaresma el ayuno y el sacrificio. Mientras el calendario muestra el carnaval como un martes, las fiestas comienzan mucho antes, el 6 de enero (Día de Reyes), y la mayor parte de la celebración es en forma de bolas y desfiles durante dos semanas o más antes de día de Mardi Gras. No puedo nombrar a todo lo que aquí, pero si nunca has estado en Nueva Orleans, que se están perdiendo en un verdadero placer! smile
