2. Forest vocabulary

DescripciĂłn de la escena en espanol, tipo travel blog: 

Esta es la entrada al bosque de Chapultepec.  Bueno, hay varias entradas pero esta es la más famosa. Al final, al fondo, se ve el Castillo de Chapultepec. Y esta entrada está localizada en la avenida Reforma. (This is the entry to the Chapultepec forest, there are few entrances, but this is the most famous one. At the end, you can see the Castle of Chapultepec. And this entry is located in Reforma avenue.) 

In 2020 Chapultepec, received the Gold Award in the category Large Urban Parks, awarded by the World Urban Parks association. I love it because it feels like an oasis of greenery and fresh air in the middle of this crazy town! 

ÂżQuĂ© creen? Me estoy dando cuenta de que yo no llevĂ© a Chapultepec nada de lo que les dije que tenĂ­a que llevar. Es que fui muy rápido porque estaba a punto de llover y bueno… Además olvidĂ© mencionarles que tambiĂ©n en Chapultepec hay un restaurante buenĂ­simo, asĂ­ que no tienen que llevar comida. Es un restaurante que se llama Casa del Lago. Y está muy bueno y es muy lindo y, además, (en Chapultepec) hay una secciĂłn de comida, donde venden comida mexicana, venden quesadillas, tacos, tortas y está bueno. Además de las botanas, tambiĂ©n venden esa comida, asĂ­ que bueno… Solo era un pequeño disclaimer. 

(Guess what? I’m realizing that I didn’t bring to Chapultepec any of the things I told you you should bring. Is it just that I went real fast because it was about to rain and well… I also forgot to mention that in Chapultepec there’s a very good restaurant, so you don’t have to bring food. It is a restaurant called Casa del Lago. And it is very good and it’s pretty, and also (in Chapultepec) there is a food area where they sell Mexican food, they sell quesadillas, tacos, tortas and it’s good. Other than the snacks, they also sell that kind of food, so well… It was just a disclaimer.) 

Me gusta mucho caminar en la hojarasca. ÂżY a ustedes? (I really like to walk in the litter. Do you all?) 

Another nice park you can visit in Mexico City Es el Parque Bicentenario. Este parque me gusta mucho porque tiene una secciĂłn donde podemos ver la vegetaciĂłn de casi todos los ecosistemas de MĂ©xico. (Is Bicentenario Park. I like this park very much because it has a section where we can watch the vegetation of almost  every ecosystem of MĂ©xico.)

Otros dos parques que están muy cerca el uno del otro y que seguramente vas a conocer porque están en una parte muy buscada por los visitantes de México, La Condesa, son Parque México y Parque España. Acompáñame. (Other two parks that are very close to each other and that you will probably know because they are in a very circulated area mostly visited by Mexicans, La Condesa, are Parque México and Parque España. ¡Join me!

Este es un estanque y ahĂ­ tenemos patos. Estas son palomas. En español usamos las mismas palabras para decir dove, paloma, que para decir pidgeon. 

(This is a pond and there we have ducks. These are pigeons. In Spanish we use the same word for pigeons and doves.) 

A estas áreas de plantas se les puede llamar jardineras. Jardineras. (These areas with plants can be called jardineras. Jardineras.) 

Did you know that my favorite plant is the fern? Whenever I see one I think there’s a dinosaur about to come get me.
