Carlos studied English with us and then worked for us while he was a student at the merchant marine academy. Tuesday, I attended his professional exam.

Riding High

I still haven’t found a marimba teacher. A guy playing on the street in front of the school showed me how to hold the mallets, and so I’m practicing scales.

I’m learning other things too, as I wait for a teacher.

For example if you want to take your marimba to a friend’s house to jam a little you don’t need to buy a pickup or rent a moving van.

A Doll's Party

We get our presents at Christmas, but it’s different in Mexico. Down here the kids’ big morning (or big night, the night before) is Día de los Reyes Magos—King’s Day. It’s the day ending the twelve days of Christmas.

There’s also a present for the whole family and friends who might be visiting, and neighbors who might be around. It’s the King’s Day Rosca.

The rosca is an open-centered oval pastry (or circular or a squared-off oval). Three colors of candied fruit lay on top. The colors represent gold, incense and myrrh. Inside the rosca are little plastic dolls ... by Eric, Jan/07/2010

Sometimes You Just Have to Face Up to Things.

And what we just had no choice but to face up to was Facebook.

I don’t know how kids navigate it. It’s got more ins and outs and this’s and that’s and here’s and there’s than I’d ever be able to keep straight.

We (both Linda and I) have had Facebook accounts for a while. We got them some months ago so we could see what this new phenomena was all about.

One Room, a Loft, and Breakfast

In what is said to be the State of Veracruz’s most beautiful town, Tlacotalpan, a couple of weeks ago on vacation we spent the night in a very attractive small hotel. For breakfast they suggested we go to the “casa particular,” the private home, half a block down and across the street.

We walked in through the open front door, passed the living room furniture (all pushed together), walked past the empty area bordered by a breakfront and came to a stop next to the kitchen table. The house was one big room. The front half sported a sleeping loft.

Sitting at the kitchen table we waited our turn while the owner, chef, waitress, dishwasher, attended to orders written on scraps of paper ... by Eric, Dec/28/2009

Having Lost Self Control

We’re very responsible adults.

We’re extra especially responsible fiscally. Even though we’re smaller than we were a year ago (because of the economy and the swine flu scare) we still have eleven families depending on the school for their livelihood. We’ve very careful.

Fresh Frozen Fruit

We spent several nights on the forested road that leads from the town of Palenque to the ruins themselves. On the small hotel’s grounds was a restaurant under separate management.

Tourists (after the economy fell and the swine flu scare hit) are finally beginning to come back, but only beginning. We ordered hamburgers (we’d eaten only Mexican food, which we love, for over a week), and (you’ll all approve of this) as part of a healthy diet, we ordered a fruit plate to share.

All they had, the restaurant owner told us, was cantaloupe, pineapple, papaya, and bananas. We told him that was great.

The Iceman (doesn't) Cometh

Way back in 1940, The Iceman Cometh hit the streets. It was impressive but heavy, I think. It was before my time. In its opening production, it ran 136 times (the trivia one finds on the net).

Veracruz has The Scrap-Metal-Man Cometh. I don’t know when it first hit the streets, but it’s been on a roll for at least the six years we’ve been here. It plays 365 times a year and some days there’s an early matinee and a late matinee (when they muscle in on each other’s territory).

You’ve heard of Water Gate (from the days of Nixon) and of Trooper Gate (from a much more recent time). We’re worldly, and we try to hold up our end of things down here.

But our world is full of fun and happiness and gentleness and warmth. And so you can see how we’d have an impossible time successfully holding our own against Nixon and against the troopers.

A CFO’s Suggestion

A CFO, a couple of months ago, told us that no one ever explained Spanish as well as Linda does, and that no one ever had better learning and study suggestions, and the everyone should have the chance to learn from Linda, and, of course, we couldn’t help but listen to wonderful words like these.

She said that we should build a website so that those who can’t come join us in Veracruz can still benefit from her lessons. What else could I do; I got right to work. I’m pretty good with HTML, the standard website writing code. But the kind of site she was recommending requires PHP and MySQL.

We originally intended to attend a Spanish Immersion School in Oaxaca as we wanted to see the city and state that we had heard so much about.

Taking a Picture at the Picture Show

For those of us who don’t like violence, it’s hard to find a movie to go see. Yesterday we found an okay movie and a picture you might never see again.

The movie you can see—it’ll run for weeks. But the picture was with all its fun and laughter will never replay.

The camera was set on auto--the timer doing a ten-second count down. The scene assumed its final shape. I had no time to lose. It was now or never.

I did an old-west-sheriff fast draw. My Sony was out of its case, powered on, and aimed before their camera ticked away to zero. The laughter got even louder. My digital shutter snapped; their camera flashed ... by Eric, Oct/26/2009

Veracruz—A City for All Ages

Veracruz was right in the middle of pre-history; it immediately became important in Spanish colonial life, and it remains important today. But those aren’t the kind of ages (epochs, if you will) I’m talking about.

There’s so much going in in Veracruz. It’s a great place for little kids and middle kids, high school and college youths, young adults, middle adults, and (like me) older adults. It’s fun and interesting and safe and fascinating for everyone.

Our books-in-English lending library has over 300 titles, and it keeps growing and growing.

Four Hundred Years Late or Just in Time?

It showed up at the dock yesterday, the dock at the Aquarium. It was a blustery day for August. The old sailing ship worked at its mooring lines. Rather than secure its square sails to the yards (the horizontal bar from which the sails are hung), the hands un-tethered the lower edges and let the sails flap in the wind.

Live Music at the Party

I heard it from down the block—mostly I heard the accordion and singing. I looked around and couldn’t spot it. It was the music of the northern part of Mexico.

I nailed it down. It was coming from a pick-up truck. Often families at the beach for the day play their music while they eat from their ice chests. It didn’t sound like a car stereo, it sounded live. You can almost always tell when it’s live. I crossed the street for a better angle.

A Guitar for Me

I’ve tried, on and off, for years to learn to play classical guitar. I have no great aspirations; I’d be happy playing, oh say a few mariachi songs, a couple of “trios,” maybe several US ‘60s pieces. Not much really.

And I’d like to add to that the easy to play Pachelbel’s Canon and for sure also Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. That’s all; I’d ask no more—just a few happy pieces and a couple of slightly more ambitious ones.

A tradition in the zocalo is the tableside photographer. The photographers meander through the open-air restaurants with their Polaroid cameras.

They are historians of happy times, family times, party times, or lover times. They’ll crop and mount your picture in a keychain or set it in a bangle to hang as a charm from a girl’s bracelet. Families get the photo intact—big families need the film’s full width.
