		<description>Your comment about Willi Wonka was hilarious. I have always been able to observe &quot;la procesion&quot; from a third party&#039;s perspective--- analyzing details that my family never even acknowledged. It was refreshing to read your observations about &quot;mes morado&quot;.  Personally, la procesion and mes morado are cultural events more than religious ones. Despite the fact that my family would probably disown me for these sentiments, I will always have a piece of Peru in me :)</description>

		<description>Hey, Carlos -- I&#039;d like to see the English translation of your story. Don&#039;t worry about the &quot;rough&quot; part -- it&#039;s probably way better than what I write in Spanish. I think that other Peruvians in the US will appreciate it as well. According to that news amalgamate Latino Tips, there are 35 million Latinos in the US who speak only English or are fully bilingual (which surprised me -- didn&#039;t know there were that many). I don&#039;t know what percentage of that is made up of Peruvian-Americans, but it&#039;s got to be at least half a million. 

Post the URL for your Spanish-language story in this comments section, so my readers can find it, and add the English URL when you post that version.</description>

		<description>Hey, Carlos -- I&#039;d like to see the English translation of your story. Don&#039;t worry about the &quot;rough&quot; part -- it&#039;s probably way better than what I write in Spanish. I think that other Peruvians in the US will appreciate it as well. According to that news amalgamate Latino Tips, there are 35 million Latinos in the US who speak only English or are fully bilingual (which surprised me -- didn&#039;t know there were that many). I don&#039;t know what percentage of that is made up of Peruvian-Americans, but it&#039;s got to be at least half a million. 

Post the URL for your Spanish-language story in this comments section, so my readers can find it, and add the English URL when you post that version.</description>

		<description>Your comment about Willi Wonka was hilarious. I have always been able to observe &quot;la procesion&quot; from a third party&#039;s perspective--- analyzing details that my family never even acknowledged. It was refreshing to read your observations about &quot;mes morado&quot;.  Personally, la procesion and mes morado are cultural events more than religious ones. Despite the fact that my family would probably disown me for these sentiments, I will always have a piece of Peru in me :)</description>

		<description>Your comment about Willi Wonka was hilarious. I have always been able to observe &quot;la procesion&quot; from a third party&#039;s perspective--- analyzing details that my family never even acknowledged. It was refreshing to read your observations about &quot;mes morado&quot;.  Personally, la procesion and mes morado are cultural events more than religious ones. Despite the fact that my family would probably disown me for these sentiments, I will always have a piece of Peru in me :)</description>

		<description>Hey, Carlos -- I&#039;d like to see the English translation of your story. Don&#039;t worry about the &quot;rough&quot; part -- it&#039;s probably way better than what I write in Spanish. I think that other Peruvians in the US will appreciate it as well. According to that news amalgamate Latino Tips, there are 35 million Latinos in the US who speak only English or are fully bilingual (which surprised me -- didn&#039;t know there were that many). I don&#039;t know what percentage of that is made up of Peruvian-Americans, but it&#039;s got to be at least half a million. 

Post the URL for your Spanish-language story in this comments section, so my readers can find it, and add the English URL when you post that version.</description>
