This includes, head nods, hand shakes and kisses on the cheek. Though, they stand closer to each other when they converse. Mexicans have a reputation for being hospital, though this does not apply to all Mexicans. There are four main meals a day opposed to America's average of three main meals. This could be an interesting way to taste some new foods. ]]> 2017-11-01 15:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/448130/2d2qqfdnkulh/wish/202568083 448130 https://padlet.com/448130/2d2qqfdnkulh/wish/202930912 Many historians are intrigued by an ancient civilization that settled in Modern day Mexico called the Aztecs. The Aztec's were highly advanced. They had a great capitol they called Tenochtitlan. What made them amazing is that they started on a small island and expanded it by starting wars and capturing prisoners. They built paradise out of brute force and power. Then the Spaniards came and conquered them  in 1521. Even today the Mexican flag features the great eagle on a cactus eating a snake, a symbol the Aztecs looked for when finding a place to settle. ]]> 2017-11-02 14:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/448130/2d2qqfdnkulh/wish/202930912 448130 https://padlet.com/448130/2d2qqfdnkulh/wish/202937032 You can taste the amazing food.
