“…Our Week and a Half with You Gave Me the Leap Forward I Needed…”

We got home late last night and talked a lot on our return trip about what a marvelous experience we had.

You have created a special school there in Veracruz with very special people. We all learned a lot, laughed a lot and made some wonderful friends. We thank you and your team for everything.

See It Here First!!!!!

Don, our good friend Don Murphy, sent us our video, and it’s terrific. He’s an incredible cameraman.

He’s with Big Shoulders Digital Video Productions, in Chicago. We thank Big Shoulders very much for letting Don bring down over ten thousand dollars worth of first rate movie-making equipment.

We’re posting it here first. It’s the week in the life of a student. (But actually it features two students because nothing in Mexico comes out exactly as planned).

City Services

Soon to Be Totally Infamous—Our Locksmith!

You’ll only be able to see him at appointed hours. He’s been in jail now for some time.

They let him out at night, and last night he had our locks in pieces.

We Are Deeply Saddened.

Although we were raised in New Mexico, we’ve been residents of Arizona (teaching at Pima College) since 1992.

We are deeply saddened that Arizona’s legislature passed and Arizona’s governor signed the pernicious, narrow-minded, short-sighted, and absolutely foolish immigration law now so widely (and rightly so) under attack all around America.

Back When I Was a Kid…

Yep, back when I was a kid, even a big kid, the milkman left glass bottles early before I awakened.

And for a few years he returned midmorning and looked inside our refrigerator to see what else we might need—butter, half and half, cottage cheese, sour cream, ice cream sandwiches (my contribution to the list).

Beautiful Guitar Music

They say that the worst live music is better than the best recorded music.

Local Sausage

I was in the Mercado Hildago, the open city market, yesterday. I love that place. We were there looking for the guy who custom finishes Panama hats.

I found sausage—Veracruz Link Sausage. I know that to make links you grind a lot of stuff and stick it into intestinal membrane. I try not to think about what the stuff is or think about the membrane.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
