| Message | My brother-in-law, the would-be curmudgeon, asked me on Christmas Eve "why on earth would I want to read about someone else's life on a blog?" I asked him if he was bored with HIS life. He said no. I said "well then, you won't be bored with this guy's life". I sent him a link to your Part III. He can work backward from there.
Our personal interest stems from a visit back in 2004. On our first trip to Mex after reading an AARP piece on retirement, we picked Morelia out of four places mentioned. Happenstance... we met a couple in an adjacent apartment when he picked up his Miami Herald English edition and I offered to trade a couple of English paperbacks for a look at his paper. He's retired from California, and she's from Apatzingan, and we've been back to see them every year since.
That first year Jane and I packed into a tour van for an all-day visit to Patzcuaro, to Tzintzuntzan, to Quiroga, and yes, we passed through (your neighborhood). Later, in learning more about the countryside we saw out of the dusty van windows, we encountered your blog. Your web site is great fun for us, as it must be for you. Watch out, or you'll get put on the celebrity house tour route.
We'll visit Patzcuaro again the first week of February. Keep up the good work. |
