Las Aventuras de Auggie & Seb: Week 28/52 Semana 28/52

We went to a waterfall called "Sodo" (in creole means waterfall: Saut d'eau). This is a very interesting place, voodoo believers and Catholics alike make a pilgrimage to this place every year. In the 19th century the Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel appeared on a Palm Tree. The festivities of Mount Carmel are one of the most important festivities in the country. When we visited there were people bathing at the waterfall and then taking all the clothes off and throwing them in the water. There were also people lighting candles. I wish we could go during the festivities, the pictures during that day are just amazing (you can check them on Google :))

Sebastian had the most fun, he wanted to keep climbing the waterfall and asked his dad to leave him alone and let him keep going up. That guy does not have any sense of danger. Auggie was more cautious but had a good time in one of the little pools that forms at the bottom of the fall.

Auggie is speaking more every day, it is very cute to listen to his soft voice. He says wha da? (what is that), agua (water), chancho (pig, he says this in English and Spanish)), atian (Sebastian), Azana (apple. His favorite fruit, for this he uses English and Spanish), Chaud (hot in French), Chita (sit down in Creole), bus ay (bull's eye, a horse in Toy Story) and repeats a lot of what people talk around him. I think he speaks more than Sebas at that age.

Fuimos a una catarata llamada "Sodo" (en creole significa salto de agua: Saut d'eau). El lugar es super interesante, Catholicos y seguidores del Vudu hacen un peregrinaje a este lugar cada anho. En el siglo 19 la Virgen del Carmen se aparecio en una palmera. La celebracion de la Virgen del Carmen es una de las mas importantes en el pais. Cuando visitamos el lugar habian unas senoras banadose, pero en onda de "limpia", despues se quitaron sus trajes de bano y los dejaron ir con el agua. Habia gente poniendo velas. Me hubiera gustado mucho ir para las celebraciones de la virgen, las fotos de ese dia se ven super interesantes. (las vi en internet, asi que googelen no mas :))

Sebastian es el que mas se divirtio, el enano queria subir hasta la parte mas alta de la catarata y le decia a su papa que lo deje ir solo. El chiki no tiene ningun sentido del peligro. Auggie estuvo mas juiciosito (como dirian mis amigos Colombianos) y se bano en una de las piscinas que se forman en la parte baja de la catarata.

Auggie habla un poco mas cada dia, y es super rico escucharlo. Dice wha da? (que es eso? en Ingles), agua, chancho (esto lo dice en Ingles y Castellano), atian (Sebastian), Azana (manzana. Su fruta preferida, lo dice tambien en Ingles y Castellano), Chaud (caliente en frances), Chita (sentarse en Creole), bus ay (bull's eye, el nombre de un caballo de Toy STory) y repite casi todo lo que la gente dice a su alrededor. Creo que este enano habla mas de lo que Sebastian hablaba a esa edad.
