I agree with you, the tradition of Los Tres Reyes Magos (how we call it in Mexico) is unique. Nice post. Que viva la parranda!

Great blog post, I think it’s important for us to pass along our culture and traditions to the next generation. I know everybody feels a sense of nostalgia when they were younger and experiencing the culture that their family introduced to them. I also believe teaching the second language to children helps strengthen the cultural bonds as well as it being essential in a closer multicultural world, a great benefit in a career.

I always thought the parrandas of Puerto Rico sound like a lot of fun. How lucky Vanessa is that you make sure she gets a taste of all of this.

As for the rooster – the only time I heard a live rooster out my window was in El Salvador, and I was less than amused as well. There was another bird called a “Pichichi” that kept me up half the night, and then the rooster took over before sunrise. I wanted to strangle those birds. LOL.
