El Monte Rushmore
Posted by admin on May 8th, 2008 filed in UncategorizedEl Monte Rushmore se encuentra en Keystone, dentro de Dakota del Sur. Entre los años 1927 y 1941 unos 400 trabajadores tallaron las figuras de los 4 grandes presidentes de los Estados Unidos: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt y Abraham Lincoln. Estos 4 emblemas americanos representan los primeros 150 años de historia del país. Su mantenimiento es difícil por su tamaño, cada figura mide cerca de 18 metros de altura, y por su complicado acceso. Los retratos se encuentran sobre un monte a la intemperie, del cual hay que escalar para limpiarlo.
De todos modos la obra es fácil de apreciar, no solo porque se va desde grandes distancias, sino que cuenta con pasarelas para un mayor acceso de los turístas.
El Monte Rushmore es un monumento nacional.

Hola Andres, mi nombre es Casey. I’m currently taking Spanish classes in Washington, DC with a native instructor. Actually I took first Spanish classes in Maryland, but I work in DC now and that's why I take the Spanish lessons in Washington, DC (with a native Spanish tutor). I just wanted to thank you for making this blog and for the articles you write. Like I mentioned, I’m a Spanish student, right now I consider myself to be in an intermediate level. I understand most of what I hear and talk some. I love speaking Spanish and the culture, the Latin American culture was what motivated me to start taking Spanish lessons. I plan to travel to Latin America (Antofagasta, Chile, donde vive lo primos de mi novio). I hope to find Spanish tutors there, since I want to speak Spanish perfectly well! I really like the articles you post. They are very helpful, they are not only interesting, but they also help me practice my Spanish. Even though I don’t understand some of what is written, it helps me a lot to see the words that I’ve learned in my Spanish class used in sentences. I attended even one of the meetups you are promoting on your web site www.learnspanishdc.com and I enjoyed it and learned really much.
