Meet Orelia Moreno! cactus leaves Every day I walk to school with my older brother Saul and my cousins who live next to us. By this time my father, Julio Moreno, has already left early to work in the fields. He works until three in the afternoon everyday and then comes home for a big meal of soup with chicken, tortillas, salsa and beans, nopales (cactus leaves) and tea or coffee. << Back Spanish Next >> watermelon Sometimes my father sends me to the village "tack" store to get orange soda for special occasions. Or we will buy sandia (watermelon) in the Monday Market in Angangueo. This is my favorite fruit! When I get sick I get to eat special food like bread and cookies. My father then returns to the fields by 4 o'clock and finishes two more hours of work. The sun is now going behind the mountains.
