My Favourite Day of the Week

Satur daytimes have always been excess to me. When I lived in Mexico, Saturday was the most hoped for day of the hebdomad. I remember that my cousin and I were always compliments for the school week to end and for Saturday to begin. Every Saturday morning would start the same way my cousin would come to my house to wake me up. Around 10 a.m. we would go out of town to my familys ranch. Once at the ranch, we enjoyed a variety of activities. The sun shone down on us, as we lived out our wonderful Saturdays away from the city.We would do soccer, run with the dogs and sometimes hunt birds and lizards with my uncle. There were occasions when we got to help my uncle sow (plant seeds) corn or chiles. Those days were hard, but we still enjoyed them. When we came back from work, we would be rewarded with secure bowls of my grandmas pasta and beans, accompanied by handmade tortillas and mugs of chocolate caliente (hot chocolate). After we ate our delicious feast, we would retreat to the lo ne pine channelize behind the house to climb the branches and rest, at last.Usually in the afternoon my uncle would take us to the lake the water was icy cold but it did not weigh since on that point was nothing comparable to the fun that we had at the lake. There was a garden just a few miles away from the house, and often on Saturdays we would go there. Following our swim in the lake, we would eat luscious fruit from the trees. For two hours or more, we would savor sweet peaches, mangos, juicy oranges and sweet guavas. then, we would return to the house at sunset. On our way back, my uncle would let us ride the mule, since the journey was long. At last, my family would gather around a bonfire to tell scary stories under the starry, regretful sky. All of these meals and excursions were such heavenly funit is easy to see why Saturdays in Mexico were the most exciting days of my life.My Saturday experiences have changed since arriving in the United States. Here, there is no long er my cousin to spend the day with me however, I have my family and a boyfriend, who always tries to make Saturdays a different experience than the rest of the week. straightaway on Saturday I usually wake up around 9 a.m. and take a peacefully lengthy shower. Then, I sit with my family at the circumvent to eat a delightful breakfast that my mom prepares for us. Sometimes I go with my family to play basketball at the park, where we indulge in meals of carne asada.Once in a while we go to the beach or visit my aunt in Ontario. When we go to Ontario, my mom and I go shopping with my female cousins and my aunt. Then at noon my uncle and father cook for us and we have picnic at the park near my aunts house. We spend the whole day with them and return home late at night.Also, there are some Saturdays that I spend with my boyfriend. He is not only my boyfriend, he is my best friend, my assistant and my comfort. The Saturdays spent with my boyfriend are even more meaningful than those s pent in Ontario with my aunt and her family. My boyfriend and I go to the theater to enjoy a movie or just stay home sharing the happiness and misfortunes of the week with each other. No matter what we do, our time together makes my Saturday a special day.I prefer Saturdays over other days of the week because I find harmony within myself. My life is always filled with so umteen things to do on any other day I never seem to have a minute of peace. Monday through Friday I dedicate every waking moment to school, work and community issues. On Sundays I volunteer at a museum. Therefore, Saturday is my favorite day of the week because it is wonderfully different from my routine. Additionally, on that day I have the opportunity to spend time with my family and to demonstrate my love and appreciation toward them.There could never be another day of the week like Saturday. Saturdays are exceptional for me they represent un pass ontable memories from my past that I continue to preserve in my heart and mind. I will never forget those amazing weekends with my cousin in Mexico. They are memorable moments that make my Saturdays in the United States (almost) as enjoyable.
