April 30, 2006 — This afternoon, a Mexican family we know came over for a couple of hours around our pool. At first, the father got in with most of the kids, while I sat and chatted with his wife and her sister and mother and Kelly roamed with his camera:
Then we got in too. The pool can hold many people! This is the first time the shallow kiddie play area has gotten a lot of use.
And here’s a teenager flying through the air!

Kelly y yo decimos que (en general) los gringos son mas rico de dinero y los mexicanos son mas rico de saber viver. Perdoneme que no puedo escribir bien el espanol!

I lived in Veracruz about 2 months last September and never even met a foreigner there :) it was great to learn some Spanish before travelling down to Argentina (all by bus, 7 months.) I studied the newspaper every day and when someone approached me in English (like, maybe 3 times haha) I would say “Lo siento, no hablo ingles.” So I got lots of practice and loved feeling like I was part of things there. I’m French speaking so that might have helped too.
I’m moving to Veracruz as soon as possible, probably end of July. I can’t wait! Thank you for your very good blog. Que le vaya bien!
