Since Semana Santa is over, there has been a lot of trash thrown on the ground. Trash is very bad for the world. Animals eat the trash and it makes them really sick. The plastic that is thrown on the ground doesn't disintegrate for a long time. If we all start by picking up at 10 pieces of trash that is out in front of our houses everyday, there won't be any more trash! We can make a huge difference.

Maxxi's Sayulita Space Tacos

Thursday, February 7th, 2013
We were making dinner last night and we had salad rolls. My god-brother, Maxxi, was a little freaked out by the Vietnamese salad rolls so we called them Maxxi's Sayulita Space Tacos. If you have any brothers or sisters or even know any, you know that sometimes if you change the name of food it changes their opinion. That's what happened with Maxxi. The salad rolls are like tacos because you are rolling up delicious ingredients in flat circular wrappers! You can easily buy all the ingredients in Sayulita.
