Esta un foto de la playa de Virginia. Cuando miramos por la ventana, esta es lo que vemos. El agua estaba muy fria. Tengo algunas conchas.
Este es mi amigo. Se llama Nate. El agua esta muy fria.
Este es estanque en centro de convenciones. Senior Taygen detras del delfin. Nosotros tiramos la moneda en el estanque.
Este es el centro de convenciones. Puede tener cincuenta colchoneta de lucha.
Este muy grande.

Dirty War
Summary
In the los desaparecidos blog I read how the people were drugged and thrown out of planes into the ocean, so the military said they didn’t actually kill them. They just said they were neither dead or alive, they just simply disappeared. This occurred between the years of 1976 and 1983. There was also an activist group called Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Apparently this same thing happened in Columbia and Guatemala. Guerrilla groups in Guatemala 45,000 people were killed or “disappeared.” This is more than the people that died in Argentina. In Argentina it was reported that 30,000 people disappeared. In Columbia, 28,000 people disappeared.
In the los desaparecidos link I found out that the government sent agents disguised as regular people to capture people and bring them to places where they would torture them. The targets were said to be people who were social activists, Marxists, left-leaning Peronists, jews, catholic clergy working in slums, student activists and people that might have been psychologists and socialists. The people captured were killed or released back into the public and told not to speak of what happened. Some were dumped into the ocean. Nobody really knows what happened to some of these people. They were never returned to their families. Instead they were buried in mass graves, burned, or dumped into the ocean.
On the resistance link I learned that the most famous opposition group was the Mothers of los desparecidos. This was a popular group because most of the desparecidos were people under the age of 30. So the mothers went around to places like hospitals and police stations trying to find their children or clues of to where they might be. They were given excuses of where their children were. A group called Los Madres de Mayo met regularly at Plaza de Mayo, which is a plaza in Buenos Aires. They would march in counter clockwise circles there and have fits and try to get their kids back. Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo was a group formed in 1977 and they were usually grandparents, or parents of disappeared pregnant women. Even after the fall of the dictatorship they kept looking for answers. The two groups split into two parts. One believes carrying on the work their children started. The other set out to preserving the memory of their children and bringing their torturers to justice. These groups made allot of difference in the dirty war.
On the legal recourse sight basically talks about how the people were upset that nothing was done about this happenings. Therefore people had riots and were not happy. This has caused tension still today.
The person I looked at on the wall of memories was Maria de las Mercedes. Thomas was her husband. When he got to his mothers house, he found his wife and kids held to gunpoint. He went to his wife, and she let the kids stay with their grandmother and she put them to bed. Then the couple had to go out into the street. They were put into a van that was involved with the air force. They then were taken to “the cave” and beaten and interrogated repeatedly. The couple was never seen again. Mercedes was 5 months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. She was also 37 years old when this happened.
According to the Vanished Gallery page on March 24, 1976 the military set off to destroy left-wing terrorism but created something even worse. This all ended in 1983. Then the other facts on this page are also interesting, but I didn’t think I needed to write them since I already have 600 or more words for the summary. So this is the conclusion of my summary.
My opinion of the Dirty War
Well, first of all I didn’t realize this was only in 1976. I thought this occurred in like the 1940’s or earlier. I can’t believe that something like this would have happened only 30 years ago. The military was stupid for thinking that they could just try to go in and get rid of all the left-wing terrorists. They just made everything else worse by making themselves the terrorists. They harmed innocent people for no reason at all. They could have done this in a way better and more humane way.
Honestly, I don’t know how 30,000 people could have disappeared with only the mothers and grandparents knowing about it, or for that fact caring about it at all. You would think that there would have been a large number of people that would have came together to try to end all of this. Made their own army and fought the military. On the other hand, the local government and military were very secret about what was going on. They sent in undercover agents to capture people and bring them to where they tortured them. So, if you didn’t know where these people were, then you couldn’t really fight them right? But, you could have neighborhood watches set up and watching for people getting taken. But, maybe everybody was scared and didn’t want to be taken their selves so they just tried not to get involved, and maybe they wouldn’t become victims.
What the government did to the people was really wrong. They would torture them and interrogate them. One of the sites said that they even tortured their baby making organs. To me, that is really screwed up. If they couldn’t find out any information from the first, oh I don’t know, 1,000 people then why would you capture 29,000 more people and try to get information. Obviously they aren’t going to either say anything or know anything. Anyways, when they were done torturing these poor people, then they would just drug them and throw them out of plains. This to me was stupid. Why didn’t they just kill them? Is it because they didn’t want murder on their hands? To them, this wasn’t killing. Well, in any way possible, it was murder. If you have the guts enough to take someone and torture them , then be humane enough to end their life with a simple bullet. Don’t put them through more hell then they have already been though.
Did the government seriously think they could make 30,000 people disappear and get away with it. Then go on with life as it was just normally? It’s a good thing that the dictatorship ended and that this all stopped when it did. I feel that the people that were torturing the citizens should have had some of punishment. Death would have been my punishment, but if not death then at least jail time.
In my opinion the Dirty was a bunch of bull pucky and should never have happened in the first place. What kind of a sick person would allow this and have his military do this to its own country. He should have came up with a better way to get rid of left-wing terrorists. It also bothers me how other countries get away with this. It is stupid and should never happen again.

Los cataratas de Iguazu y Cueva de Las Manos
Los cataratas de Iguazú esta muy bonita. El agua es verde, probablemente porque todas las plantas. Hay muchas burbujas. Hay muchos arboles y rocas. Hoy es treinta y cuarto grados celcius. Iguazú significa agua grande. Se Encontró en el año 1542. El 20 de deciembre de 1895, Balestra divide la provincia en 14 departamentos. El 24 de febrero de 1978 se declara a Puerto Iguazú municipio de primera categoría. Detrás y en el medio queda la lucha permanente desde los pioneros a los actuales pobladores, para crecer y proyectar al mundo uno de los principales atractivos turísticos del planeta.
Creo que cuevo esta desolado. Hay manos pinto en la pared. Los manos esta rojo y negro. Hay venados purpura, llama azul, rana amarilla, objectivo rojo y camello rojo, y pata azul. No hay plantas en la cuevo. Esta un pared de roca. La cueva no es impresionate para mi. Esta en la desierto. Se encuentra cerca de el agua. Llamas son silvestres en la zona.

Los Gauchos y Boleadora
Los Gauchos y Boleadora
El origen del gaucho es la llanura en el 1600’s. Muchas personas no gustan los gauchos. Los gauchos matan las vacas. Las personas regulars necesitan de las vaca para el cuero . Los gauchos necesitan de las vaca de todo. Los gauchos cazan con boleadoras. Las boleadoras estan tiras de cuero con bolas duras en el fin. Es necesario que los gauchos para cocinan la carne rapido o se van mal. Las personas consideran estar no es saludable. Los gauchos desgastar el blue jeans y camisa la luz. Que usan botas de cuero. Los Gauchos pierden reconocimiento cuando un libro de ficcion hacen. Un cambio en el economia causado el fin de los gauchos. Ahora los gauchos hacen tareas de valor.
Me gusto mucho el danza de gauchos. El gauchos usan las boleadoras para los instrumentos. El gauchos se balancearan las boleadoras y las boleadoras pegan el suelo. Todos los gauchos ganan un ritmo. Los gauchos usan tambores ganan un ritmo. Los gauchos pisan el pies como el claque. La chicas desgastan ropa rosa con botas negros. El chicos desgastan ropa azul con botas negros tambien. El chicos tienen bufandas blancos.
