I quite honestly don't know if I could identify the national anthem, I think I have heard it only once or twice. I suspect once my son is a bit older, I will have to learn it with him. I'm glad to not have to hear it blaring every morning though!<BR/><BR/>Harvestmoon- Thanks for playing, I'll post answers later today. And I think we should all sit next to Jonna for the exam, I'm sure she would be happy to let us cheat, teeehee.<BR/><BR/>Brice- Drunk with a tan? You're practically Mexican already. (Just a joke folks, just a joke!)<BR/><BR/>CultureQueen- Excellent attempt, lol!

Name ten Mexican states and their capitals<BR/>Starting at the top; Coahuila - Saltillo, Tamulipas - yikes - Monterrey?, Durango - Durango or is it Torreon?, Sonora - ummm, pass, Sinaloa - Culiacan?, Nayarit - must be Mazatlan, Jalisco - Guad (it couldn't be Tepic, could it?), ok, easy ones; Yucatan - Merida, QRoo - Chetumal, Campeche - Campeche, SLP - SLP, Guanajuato - Leon, Queretaro - Queretaro?, Morelos - Cuernavaca, Oaxaca - Oaxaca, Guerrero - Acapulco, BCN - Mexicali? Guerrero Negro? or is it Ensenada?, BCS - La Paz, Veracruz - Xalapa, Puebla - Puebla, Estado de Mexico - no clue, DF is its own entity unless it is also the capital of EdM, Chiapas - no idea. Well, at least I think I can name all the states. Does that count? I think I got ten captials right there. Maybe.<BR/><BR/>2. Who or what was Quetzalcoatl?<BR/>Feather Serpent God<BR/><BR/>3. Name 3 ex-presidents of Mexico<BR/>Fox, Benito Juarez, oh, this is embarrasing. I know who issued the Grito. Does that count? I know the 4 heads at the Alhondiga in Guanajuato. <BR/><BR/>4. What is the official name of Mexico?<BR/>Estados Unidos de Mexico?<BR/><BR/>5. Who was Francisco Villa?<BR/>I hate to admit I do not know.<BR/><BR/>6. Name 3 heroes of the Independence of Mexico<BR/>(the insurgents) Morelos, Hidalgo, Allende and I can't remember the last one...<BR/><BR/>7. Name 2 Aztec emperors<BR/>Cualto-something and Moctezuma (butchered spelling)<BR/><BR/>8. Name the place where Hidalgo made his famous "El Grito" speech on September 16, 1810<BR/>Everyone knows that! The parroquia in Dolores Hidalgo!<BR/><BR/>9. State the names of the writers of the lyrics and music of the Mexican national anthem.<BR/>no clue.<BR/><BR/>10. How many peninsulas are there in Mexico?<BR/>Yucatan, Baja, and the isthmus but it isn't a peninsula, so just 2.<BR/><BR/>Now let me crib off Jonna. I bet she did MUCH better than I did.harvestmoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11262700116262217636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-72968171151534625132008-05-28T18:05:00.000-05:002008-05-28T18:05:00.000-05:00The real answer to the first question, of course, is "Si, senor, I have your mordida right here...." :)<BR/><BR/>I would have got 8 or 9 of them. Probably the 10 states and capitals, but I saw the other answers so I feel a cheat now! But the writer of the National Anthem? Not a bloody clue! I can hum it real good though!
