imperfecto
Hoy aprendamos el tenso imperfecto, es muy dificil entender quando mi maestro no puede explicame. Pero yo sobrevivirai, ¿no? En la clase de culutra íbamos al Centro ver La Palacio de la Gobernadora y Casa de Montejo. La Palacio de la Gobernadora es un casa que el gobierno funcione (y es todo para la fluencia hoy). Anyway, the Palacio is essentially Town Hall in Merida; the mayor’s office and such operates out of there and it’s really quite beautiful. It’s set up as a quad with an internal courtyard. Everything is framed in arches and there is a collection of historical paintings that depict the history of Merida and the Yucatan in general – pictures to follow, as per usual. La Casa de Montejo wasn’t anything exciting, save for the really politically incorrect edifice on the outside which had an inscription that read “Amor Vincit” or “love conquers” in latin. There were two conquistadors standing on the heads of natives, scaly natives cowering beside them and more howling Mayan heads below all of this. Flanking the doorway were the heads of Montejo and his wife, and between them laid the inscription “Amor Vincit”. How’s that for irony?
