Living in Mexico and Learning to Speak Spanish: Tales & How-to Tips

The purpose of this blog is to provide information about Mexico -- mostly through my husband's and my day-to-day experiences of living in Mexico, specifically in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, by Lake Chapala near Ajijic. I write for people who might live or retire in Mexico, for expats or travelers currently in Mexico, and for Mexicans. I write about how to learn to speak Spanish, why it's important, and how to get started. For more, visit my website www.mexico-with-heart.com as well! -- Rosana Hart

September 11 Thoughts

I may have mentioned here that my father was a noted science fiction writer, Cordwainer Smith. That was his pen name; as a college professor and political scientist, he kept that identity secret and went by his real name, Paul M. A. Linebarger.

Well, recently I re-did a large website that I have about his science fiction and added a blog. This afternoon, I posted an uncharacteristically personal (for that website) entry, and as I was washing some dishes just now, it occurred to me that some of you readers might enjoy it:

    Your conversation with your father was great. Taking the broader perspective. I would have liked your Dad. Not necessarily for the politics -- but for the world view. We could have talked about my (and your) Quaker perspective: to try to see the world as a loving God sees it, and as He would like it to be. And then act on that view. We should all be so lucky as to have such conversations.
