COSCOMATEPEC, VERACRUZ 

Writing corrected about my hometown  !!

        The town of Coscomatepec is situated at the central part  of  the state of Veracruz. It is a mountainous zone. The name of this place comes from Nahualt “Cuezcomatepec” that is divided in two words.

“Cuezcoma” that means “Troje” (place where seeds and fruits are kept) and “Tepetl” that means mountain. Those words together mean “Cerro de la troje” but with the time this word has changed and now it is writring Coscomatepec.

Coscomatepec has three types of weather.From June to September, it is wet and rainy. From October to January, it is foggy and it is dry from February to May. This kind of weather hepls to variety of plants grow.

Coscomatepec is a quiet place in which you can take a break outside the stress of the city.

    The typical food that you can find is “Barbacoa”. It is made of meat of sheep with consommé. It is very delicious because it has a spicy flavor  and it is one of the most popular dishes. Also you can taste other types of Mexican food such as tamales, mole, mixiotes, gorditas de frijol, pozole among others.

     The typical candy you can found are“Panelitas”. They are small triangle shaped candies made of coconut, peanut, lemon or pineapple with a lot of sugar and milk.

     In Coscomatepec is very common you found a lot of bakeries because the bread is deliciuos. It is cooked in a stone oven with wood. 

     There are many parties and celebrations throughout the year but just two of them are notable. These are the most important celebration:

June 24^th Religious ceremony

    On June 24^th is San Juan Bautista commemorated. He is the patron saint of Coscomatepec. During these days the people in the town organize different events such as processions, folk dance, sports competitions in different categories and a small fair where you can find mechanical rides, games of chance, typical food, candies and some handmade objects.

October 3^rd and 4^th civic and military ceremonies

In the night of October 3^rd, there is a horseback riding representing the battle between the realistas and insurgentes to take control of Coscomatepec. On October 4^th, there is a big, civic and military ceremony where students, teachers and some people march on the streets, dressing an elegant uniform.  

My last vacation

My last summer vacation correct. 

   Last summer vacation, I traveled to Veracruz with my family. We stayed there for three days. In those days we visited the beach, a wax museum and we walked a long the seafront.

     The first day, we visited the beach. It was so beautiful because we had an awesome sea view. Fortunately, the hot weather let us spend a good time in the sea. The water was really cool  but salty.

While my cousins, brothers and I were swimming my uncles rented some sunbeds and a pair of beach umbrellas so we could  rest a bit and get a tan.

      When the night fell, we did not know if there was a hotel near by there. Then, we decided to visit my uncle´s friend called Pinzon. He had the kindness of letting us stay in his house during those days. That was very kind because we were already very tired.

    The next day, we got up late, so we decided to return to the beach for a while, just to have breakfast and eat some seafood. A bit later, we visited the wax museum. Truly it was lovely. There were many famous people such as artists, actors, important presidents from Mexico City, among others; we could see my favorite band “The Beatles”. Although they were not real people, they were very similar to the real ones. I was very excited so I had many photos taking by myself. 

    Last day, we interested in knowing a different place in which we could have a break and a relaxing moment. We spent a lot of time deciding where we would go until we decided to go to the seafront. It was big and very attractive. It was cloudy.  The wind blew strong and the palm trees moved from one side to the other.

We had an extraordinary view of the sea from the balcony, it was situated near the border. We liked it so much that we did not lose the opportunity to take  some photos.

This travel was so fantastic that I would like to visit it again but now with my friends. It would be a very nice experience for me.
