I know that cash availability and distance can be an inhibiting factor but I think you should NEVER hare around some place and try to see everything in one go on the assumption that you'll never go there ever again. Because that might not be true,abd even if it is it's better to just see and absorb one or two things.

I would have to handcuff my wife because she would want to buy things. The craft fairs around here are fine examples. I ask her if she can put the item in the palm of her hand we will get it. I say that but everyone who knows my wife knows I am not telling the truth.

Beautiful city. Those kids walking around unaccompanied, free and safe in the embrace of their community. If more Americans mingled with Mexicans, there wouldn't be the animosity or fear.

So true Sue!!! Mexico is such a family-oriented country. They love being together with their families. The mothers are true matriarchs.

Travel to other countries and meeting other people is crucial in eliminating the bias and prejudice and superiority complex endemic in our country.

I do believe I learned more Spanish than they learned English.
