What I've learned in Mexico


-There doesn't have to be a special place in the bathroom for a shower
-If dogs can cross the street, so can I!
-Lemon cures everything!
-Take your shoes off to walk on carpet, but don't worry about the space under the door where the insects enter!
-Black scorpions are OK, it's the brown ones you have to worry about!
-Always shake your shoes and clothes before putting them on!
-Garbage? Don't worry about it, it decomposes, doesn't it?
-Everything natural tastes better here!
-White butterflies are beatiful but casi imposible to photgraph!
-Popcorn tastes better with salsa, chile and of course lemon!
-Honking is a courtesy, not rude.
-If you think you are sick, just drink Tequila.
-Bugs are food too!

Hi Pennie; Yes we miss you too but remember all the places we went on vacations and how you treasure your memories and that what you will have to look back on. December seems a long way off but when it comes you will wonder how it got there so soon. are you able to teach the kids english songs? I think that it would be rewarding for them to be able to sing english espescally if it is spanish songs that have been rewritten in english like Via con deios. Our prayers are with you with app our live Dad.

Wow! You could write a book, just like the guy who wrote about kindergarten. It could be called "All The Things I Wouldn't Have Known If I Had Never Come To Mexico".
