On Thursday, June 15th, I parked in the 4 hour parking area on Everett Street in El Cerrito, near the El Cerrito Plaza Bart Station, in order to take BART to the Warriors Parade in downtown Oakland. I first attempted to park at the BART station, but the lot was full. I parked just before 10:00am and caught the train from El Cerrito Plaza to Lake Merritt Station to catch the parade near the end. It took about 30 minutes to get from where I parked to where I watched the parade (21 minute BART Ride).The parade began at 10:00am ended around 12:30pm.…

I've lived in the Rio Grande Valley my whole life. Ever since I could remember, I had never been outside these valley roads. I had always dreamed about what a vacation would be like. I ustheir ed to have friends all the time tell me about their trips to San Antonio, Houston, and Florida , just to name a few. I came from a lower class family of five so a vacation was never an option for us.…
For my final cultural report, I ate dinner with my family at Gran Ranchero, an authentic Mexican restaurant in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The first thing I noticed about the restaurant was the décor. There were sombreros, maracas, and murals of homes and people in Mexico on the walls on the restaurant. There was also traditional Mexican music being played in the restaurant. Our waiter us gave our greeting in Spanish and then translated it into English.…

My Hispanic heritage and the challenges my family faced shaped my character. My grandparents, uncles, aunts, and father picked cotton in the fields in order to get by and have food on the table. My mother worked seven different jobs during high school and college to pay for her academic studies. Their experiences taught me that it is important to focus on academics in high school and be resilient in college. Being bilingual in Spanish and English is another skill I have and will benefit my future relationship with patients, especially in Texas.…

The first place I visited is in downtown Geneva, a restaurant called Sergio’s Cantina. The elements of folk culture evident is the food and the atmosphere. The main ingredients in the dishes served are corn, chiles, and beans, which are also the heart of most Mexican dishes. Tortillas, or “thin, round, pancakes,” are also served, as they are the most important part of the meal. Also, the restaurant was painted in bright colors and had tequila, a very popular drink in Mexico, advertised.…

In Mexico they do not celebrate Halloween, instead they celebrate ¨El Día de los Muertos¨ (Day of the dead), in my advantage I get to celebrate both.…

I would put Mexican restaurants in their own food group. I eat, pray, and live for Mexican food. It is to the point that my friends and family do not even need to ask me where I want to go for dinner; they know I will be okay with any Mexican restaurant. Two of my many favorites are Margarita House and Los Tres Amigos. You cannot go wrong with either restaurant, but there are a few factors that contribute good and bad to each one.…
The other day I had a craving for Mexican food. I didn't want to do the same old black bean tacos though. Don't get me wrong those or delicious but I'm guilty of eating them way to often. At one of my favorite stores I've seen vegan chorizo, I never got it though because I didn't know what it was and wasn't sure I'd like it. I was in the mood for switching it up, I decided what the hell why not.…
