Hispanic Heritage and Thanksgiving. In Tallahassee They're One In The Same.

 

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

BB can hear y’all now.  “Hispanic Heritage Month was finished over a month ago. What do you mean it’s the same as Thanksgiving?” Dear Beautifuls, they’re both about being with familia and saying Gracias, no?? Also, if we go far enough in history, we were probably the first Europeans to have celebrated a “Thanksgiving” here in the US.  Pero Babushka is getting ahead of herself, primero let’s talk about this festival given by Hola Tallahasseee.

According to the US Census, in 2020 there were 13.2 thousand Hispanics in Tallahassee.

Wow and Woah. Betcha didn't think there were that many did you? Most are of Mexican descent, but there are many groups represented here, and being proud of our common language we wanted to share our heritage with everyone. First, the history of Hispanics in the US.

The pilgrims arrived on their rock in 1620, long after the 1539 arrival of Spain's

Hernando de Soto visit to La Florida. De Soto's visit was an early documented presence of Europeans to the US, one piece of history shared to visitors of the festival. Facts of Hispanic contributions to this country was highlighted throughout the festival. Here are some posters shown:

Just some of the history and adversity of the Hispanic peoples.

Nice posters verdad? Pero even nicer was the in persona representation at the festival.

OH C!!!

It took 5 years to have this festival again, and though we weren't many, we were there for each other. Not a big comunidad, pero definitivamente big hearted. 

Thankful for where we live, and each other.

Y realmente, isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about?

Babushka Besos a todos.

Zinged by Hotel Transylvania 3! #HotelT3

Babushka and Cristyl's Crew were sent a dvd and a box of promotional items for this post. No other compensation was given. Opinions expressed are of BB and the Crew.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Babushka has a confession to make. She never saw any of the prior Hotel Transylvania peliculas.

Being a long distance abuela, some of the animated movies slipped by.  Now that Cristyl's Crew is nearby, BB's playing catch up.  The Hotel Transylvania series was liked by them, so when BB was offered the Hotel Transylvania 3 , she felizmente said Si!

Thankfully the characters are likeable, the premises and plots not too complicated, so by starting with #HotelT3 BB didn't get lost and was able to catch up and enjoy the movie almost immediately. Now here's a sypnosis of it.


"follows in the tradition of the blockbuster Hotel Transylvania franchise when Mavis surprises Dracula with a family voyage on a luxury, haunted monster cruise ship. Of course, the rest of the Drac Pack has to tag along, and that’s when things get a little…batty. The monsters are having a great time, indulging in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to colossus-sized buffets and exotic excursions, but then the unexpected happens when Drac falls for the ship’s mysterious (and dangerous) human captain Ericka. The third film in this family-friendly monster franchise is the best reviewed installment and you’re invited along on the haunted cruise vacation!"
