A TRIP TO THE GRAND CANYON

In this post, Daniel Argibay and me are going to design an adventure trip to the Grand Canyon of Arizona (USA). We're going to practise a different extreme sport every day.

When arriving in Arizona, we are going to take a bus from Ribeira to Santiago's airport and here, we're going to take a plane to Madrid. In Madrid, we are going to take another plane to Phoenix's airport. When we have arrived in Phoenix, we're going to take a taxi to the hotel, called Sheraton Grand Phoenix, where we are going to stay by four days.

The first day, we're going to visit the Grand Canyon for first time in our lives, then, we are going to pay a pack of activities in a special agency of adventure sports.

The pack includes: zip line of 800m of long and climbing a rockwall of 32,5m of high, all with the help of supervisors.

The second day, we are going to rent two kayaks during 2 hours to paddle down the Colorado's river.

The third day, we're going to practise caving inside some caves of the Grand Canyon, to do this, we are going to rent the necessary equipment: helmets, lights and some caving tools.

The fourth day, it's the best day because we are going to rent two downhill bikes, two helmets and bikewear to practise downhill over the Grand Canyon.

Finally, we're going to take a taxi from the hotel to the Phoenix's airport, here, we are going to take a plane to Madrid. In Madrid, we're going to take a plane to Santiago's airport, then, we are going to take a bus to Ribeira, our city.

ENTROIDO ON FIRE!!!

Hello folks!

In this post I'm going to talk about a very famous celebration, called "Entroido", that is equivalent to "carnival" in the English language. This celebration tooks place every February in Galicia, but not only in Galicia, because this celebration is famous in all the world.
Here, in my village (Aguiño), the Entroido is not a very importat event from the cultural point of view, because we don't have the same traditions as a village situated inside Galicia, like Lugo, Ourense, etc...
Here, there are not the famous "peliqueiros", instead of that, people enjoy the Entroido disguised of "choqueiro", that is a costume made of workwear and a mask. The "choqueiros" are all the day throwing firecrackers and breaking mailboxes with their friends.
But here we have a very important and delicious tradition, this tradition is the Entroido's food.
In the Entroido's week, all families prepare a series of desserts, these desserts are: pancakes, bagels, ears (not human ears) and much more.
In the photos below, you can see my mother cooking pancakes.

I know you are drooling, if you want to taste them you only have to come to my house and ask if there is any one, but you have to come quickly, because I'm a pancakes devourer!!!
I didn't dress up this year, because I don't like customes, but when I was in the primary school, teachers force us to make our own customes with garbage bags and other things, like goggles and wigs.
When we were dressed, we went out to make a parade on the streets of the village.
Here you have a photo of me in the Entroido of  2009:

I hope you liked it, see you in the next post!!!

Bye!
