Ibonet de Batisielles
Starting from the mountain shelter of Refugio de Estós, follow the signs to Ibonet de Batisielles. The first of the three lakes, this “ibonet” or “little glacial lake” in Aragonese is a petite introduction to this route. About two kilometers from Refugio de Estós, the path to this small wonder is clearly marked with signs. Ideally situated in front of mountains and pine trees, Ibonet Batisielles is a great spot for a water break before moving on to the next lake, Ibon de Escarpinosa. For those who want to take their Pyrenean adventure to a new level, Cabaña Santa Ana, a small one-room stone shelter, is located next to the lake for those brave people who would like to camp.

Her background gives her the ability to be creative in her writing. Her professional and assertive style of writing gives her the credibility for readers to believe her even if the facts weren’t true. She regularly uses scientific research, in ways to help the reader understand what is occurring without using scientific terminology that is too difficult to understand. With the use of unique structure, it aids to communicate her argument better, as it helps build her ethos, and keep the reader interested and well informed. Her use of ethos makes the readers want to continue to keep reading. The fact that she has actually visited and can give details about the island, Castello Argonese, as well gives her creditability instead of second hand knowledge. One can infer the validity of her travels in the way she describes the location of Castello Argonese. “Eighteen miles west of Naples, it can be reached from a larger island of Ischia via a long, narrow stone bridge” (111). If you know what something smells, or looks like, you are going to care more, and ultimately be more interested. The author’s use of visual rhetoric is astonishing. It allows the reader to latch on and create an image to break up the monotony, and gives familiarization with the comparisons of things related to common knowledge. She uses this example, “Coralline algae organisms that grow in colonies that looks like a smear of pink paint” (121). This example sells us on the how the ocean is, and what you can distinguish the colonies to look

As early as eight in the morning, beaches are packed with people sun bathing in their new swim suits. Coming from the depressing artic winter in Minnesota, the hot sand on my back and gold sun on my face is what I had been missing for months. While gazing out into the sapphire ocean it is not uncommon to spot the black and white fins of killer whales. It is truly a sight to see, although the beach is not the only admirable scenery in Puerto Vallarta. Looking inland, steep and narrow cobblestone roads lead up to mountains that fill the sky. There is a mile-long promenade along the ocean that extends from one side of town to the other called the Malecón. Along the Malecón are palm trees, rock statues and sand sculptures. It is considered a main attraction for everyone. Most of the popular restaurants, nightclubs and stores are located
As we have sorted out the themes of this book, we can then look at how the book is structured and why I have acclaimed it to be informative and yet so easy to read and understand. At the beginning of the book, we learn that Basso had first traveled to Cibecue in the summer of 1959 as a nineteen-year-old college student but then returned numerous times after his graduate studies was done (Basso 1996:xiv). We can conclude from th...
The National character relates to the Spain that exists in so much as it is able to be seen and touched. The very word `campos' in the volumes title is suggestive of this aspect of Machado's approach, since it calls to mind an existant, geographical feature to which one is able to relate. The entire work abounds with sensuous description and evocation of the geography and landscape of Spain created by the frequent employment of adjectives, most notably the use of sensory adjectives of sight, smell and touch. This is demonstrated in the opening verse from `Campos de Soria' (CXIII):
The Confesion de los Moriscos is a surprisingly remarkable text. It was composed during the first years of the seventeenth century, around the time, 1609, when the Moriscos were expelled from Spain. It is found in one extant Manuscript copy, dating from the second decade of the century, in a volume of Quevedo’s works that once belonged to Salazar y Castro. Astrana believed that the manuscript is autograph, thus positively attributing the Confesion to Quevedo. Crosby, on his part, questioned the paleographic ascription, consequently doubting Quevedo’s paternity of the short work. In Crosby’s words “[estas obras] son tan cortas y tan difíciles de clasificar según criterios literarios, que resulta casi imposible fundar la atribución en dichos criterios.” It is not my intent to authenticate or refute the authority of this text. Nonetheless, I hope in the next 20 minutes to show you that Confesion de los Moriscos, in spite of its brevity, is a complex text whose multi-layered readings amply make up for such conciseness. Here –an in your handouts-- it is:
Compared to other countries, France’s economy is the fourth largest in the world. France is a very industrialized nation, yet it has kept some of the cultural characteristics that contribute to its old-world charm. The economy is “exceptionally diversified” (“Economic Structure”, 1). It produces everything from aircrafts to pharmaceuticals.
There is an indescribable felling that occurs at Horseshoe Lake. It is a feeling of mild comfort and much needed relaxation mixed with exhilaration. The comfort comes from the light breeze, which quickly comes and goes while you are fishing. It is this breeze that allows your fishing line to float one way or another, thus doing the luring for you. The tall oak trees provide shade that prevents you f...
