Red Dragonfly

Saturday just gone, my niece Candace invited me to do a water aerobics class with her; it was great exercise and great fun

We say "batty mamselle" instead of dragonfly, in our day to day conversations here in Trinidad and Tobago.
This beautiful little creature is immotalized in the sphere of calypso by one of our calypso masters The Lord Kitchener. Listen to Kitchener's - calypso Batty Mamselle; Hear also Batty Mamselle played as a steel pan duo by Gary Gibson on tenor pan, Miho Takekawa on double seconds

    Muy importante destacar esto. Hay muchos sitios falsos que imitan la plataforma oficial y piden datos personales o bancarios. Siempre hay que usar el buscadorstatus official site que termina en .gob.mx para evitar fraudes. El gobierno no cobra nada por consultar el estatus de tu beca.
