Imagínese una plaza ruidosa, llena de los gritos de los vendedores, el olor de tortillas hechas a mano, y los colores brillantes de mil frutas, juguetes y dulces. ¡Sólo puede ser un mercado mexicano tradicional! Aquí les presentamos nuestro calendario del 2014 'Mercados de México/Markets of Mexico' (inglés/español).
Frutas y Verduras frescas del campo
Antes de que llegaron los españoles, las tribus indígenas de México ya tenían mercados muy colorados y diversos. De hecho muchas cosechas que no existían en Europa, como la papa y el maíz, formaron el alimento diario de los aztecas. Como todas las culturas, los indios cambiaban comida, herramientas y ropa, y mientras que su sociedad desarrollaba, así crecía la lista de bienes disponibles en los mercados.
Los colores del mercado se cambian con cada estancia, y las frutas y verduras siempre están frescas. Cada ciudad tiene sus productos especiales, como la loza vidreada, jarritos, canastas, juguetes e instrumentos musicales. Durante las celebraciones para el Día de los Muertos, hay ofrendas, velas y dulces en forma de calavera. ¡Este calendario hermoso le trae a Ud toda la variedad que se puede ver en las calles y las plazas de México!
¡Bienvenidos al primer blog en español de BrownTrout Publishers! Para nuestra primera entrada queremos reconocer a nuestro vecino al sur, el gran país de México. Una de las tradiciones religiosas más importantes y bien conocidas en México es la devoción por la Virgen María, y Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe es la imagen más amada.
La Virgen de Guadalupe 12" x 12" Square Wall Calendar
Según la tradición mexicana, San Juan Diego, que era de la tribu indígena de los chichimecas, vio la aparación de la Virgen en el cerro de Tepeyac (muy cerca de la Ciudad de México). Ella estaba rodeada por rosas, flores que no son nativas de México y que no sobreviven en los climas áridos. La Señora le pidió a Juan Diego que construyese una iglesia en el sitio de la aparición. Ella prometió proteger a los pobres y los desgraciados del país, y como resultado la gente mexicana la honra todavía con oraciones y ofrendas.
La Virgen de Guadalupe 12" x 12" Square Wall Calendar
Con el permiso del obispo del territorio, San Juan Diego dejó a su familia, su casa y sus bienes para dedicarse a la limpieza y el mantenimiento de la pequeña capilla, hoy transformada en una basílica elegante. La dedicación de Juan Diego para preservar la humilde iglesia es un símbolo elocuente de la devoción profunda de los mexicanos a la Virgen de Guadalupe. Nuestro título ‘La Virgen de Guadalupe’ es un calendario del 2014 todo en español, con los días festivos de México y Puerto Rico. ¡Celebre su fé con una bellísima imagen de la Sagrada Virgen cada mes!
A wondrous ancient land with both staggering natural beauty and a fast-paced urban nightlife, Thailand has something to offer for every traveler. The impressive Buddhist temple spires coexist with towering city skylines, and in both settings the friendly and welcoming people keep visitors coming back year after year.
Thailand 12" x 12" Square Wall Calendar
Thailand's history is extremely ancient, and there is evidence that humans inhabited the area as long as 40,000 years ago. In more recent centuries, several kingdoms existed including the Sukothai, Khmer and Malay states. It is these people that give Thailand its legacy of Buddhism, which can be seen in the incredibly intricate temples and monuments to the Enlightened One. Another interesting cultural feature to enjoy is Muay Thai kickboxing, which has now been exported to the rest of the world. Surfers or those looking just to relax can have their choice of several pristine and scenic beaches.
Thailand 12" x 12" Square Wall Calendar
Perhaps the best thing about Thailand is the food. Infamous for its spicy dishes like curries and soups, Thai cuisine also makes use of distinctive and savory ingredients like peanut, coconut, Thai basil, anise and cilantro. The great thing about Thai cooking is that styles can vary significantly from region to region. In addition to geographic influence (such as coastal dwellers eating more seafood dishes), the great religious diversity of Thailand also contributes to the fascinating and very tasty array of foods available. So whether you're looking for a crowded market or a deserted beach, the mingling of old and new in Thailand keeps things spicy!
We give you the beauty of Thailand, displayed in the same great high-quality photography you've come to expect from BrownTrout!

Lyrics:
Written in these walls are the stories that I can’t explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don’t feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
And I’ll be gone gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holdin’ on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time…
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
Written on these walls are the colors that I can’t change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
And I’ll be gone gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I been holdin’ on so tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time…
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time…
Is frozen
The story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she’s broke inside (until she’s broke inside)
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The calendar's cover image shows the tallest trees in the world, the beautiful coast redwoods. The coastal fog and resulting growth of lichens give the trunks a more grayish color, but they are closely related to the largest tree species by weight, the giant sequoia or Sierra redwood. These are the trees you have most likely driven your car through if you have visited Yosemite. California's White Mountains are home to a third superlative: the oldest living organism in the world is a 5,063 year-old bristlecone pine.
California Nature
Because of the plate tectonics of the west coast, almost the entire length of the state has mountain ranges, from the rocky coastal cliffs of Monterey and Big Sur to the snowy Sierra Nevada range on the California-Nevada border. This latter range contains Mt. Whitney, which at 14,505 feet is the highest peak in the contiguous 48 states. Just below these mighty peaks there are foothills and oak-dotted grasslands, which provide habitats for a great many animal species', of which coyotes and California condors are just a couple examples.
California Nature
Although California contains many climates, the southern part of the state is forever associated with its vast deserts, such as the Mojave and Sonoran. These deceptively empty regions also harbor an extensive network of life, from conspicuous plants like the saguaro cactus and Joshua tree to a whole menagerie of reptiles, birds, tarantulas and mammals living just below the surface to avoid the intense sun and extreme temperatures.
California Nature
This calendar showcases the incredibly diverse natural phenomena that give California's nature enthusiasts so much to be enthusiastic about!
