A Puzzle from the Mendez Family Time


It started with reading to toddlers. Once the children learned to read, the members of the Mendez family would often spend an hour or two reading to each other, playing games, or telling family stories. That's when Ana discovered that she liked poetry, or some poems. Most recently, they've tried their hand at reading plays to each other, often to hilarious effect.

Here's a simple little word puzzle Matt came up with to sharpen Ana's Spanish vocabulary. These are all towns in New Mexico, but translated from Spanish to English. How many can you name in the original Spanish?

holy faith

the crosses

the cottonwoods

moon

up river

help

poplar grove

cold water

German

soul

friendship

wide

spirits

deep stream

flowery

chicken

little island

the jewel

the otters

the doves

the meadows

keys

(Answers.)
