They didn't adopt you. You adopted them. Get it right.
What you left isn't all that bad.

My pleasure Vandenberg!
The adoption was by mutual agreement Dennis.
Never said it was bad up North of the boarder, it is just that I have known since I was 7 years old that Mexico is where I belong.

Good for you, Eli. I'm just a little sensitive about US bashing here....which, of course, you're innocent of.
Thanks for your reply.

Dennis, I would lie if I said I was comfortable going North of the Boarder. Never felt like I belonged there, and only when Dad needed me did I work
up the courage to return. Still, I have some wonderfull memories from my years in the States, there are so many beautiful special places there. Ah
but, Mexico is home and I expect it always will be. Los Barriles is where my father is buried and my grandchildren were born, it is my only home.

I have a similar affinity for Mexico, Eli. If only I wasn't aware of the changes taking place which are eroding the gratiousness of Mexicans toward
their northern neighbor.
Things are changing.............tolerance is changing.............history is becoming a current raison d'etre for acceptance of foreigeners,
especially those from the US.
The quiet days are over.
It's nothing like it used to be. When I see college kids here burning US flags, I boil, but not without a sort of fear for my neighbors.
It's a different world here now. I don't know how insulated you are from my world, but I doubt we see the same thing.
I want to see it because it affects me.
You probably don't want to see it for the same reason.
I'm your friend, Eli. Don't take me wrong.

I feel fortunate to live 70 mi. no. of the
border. Started Mex travelling in early 70's,
making, what was at that point, exotic
surfing trips to Ensenada, Quatro Casas.
Picked up a copy of 'The Peoples Guide to
Mexico' 25 yrs. ago, my fate was sealed.
Mex has become a major part of my life.
Have been to 19 of the 30 states,
many colorful adventures.
Love watching the sun rise over the Cortez.
Above that, being born in the US is something
most of us can be thankful for

Dennis, I am certainly your friend, after all I am a friendly sort of soul. I admit that I have always walked in my own little world, you are right I
don't want to see the problems, I cannot resolve them, so I look for the good where ever I can find it. One of my favorite games is to see if I can
get a groucy clerk in a store to smile, not always, but usually I can.
I have always been in awe of the graciousness of humanity, more than not where ever I go people are kind to me. I prefer to walk among the people who
live a simple life as I do, maybe that is why. I really don't know why I am so blessed, but I sure do like my world.

Thanks Eli, your last response made me smile. It is my hope that my children and their children and so on can grow and continue to have a similar
attitude. We can all learn something from the graciousness of humanity ~ it's there if we choose to see it. So thank you, I will sleep well tonight
with that sentiment in my heart.
And the video was great, too!

And to all of you who enjoy this little gem of a video, I'm glad I could share it with you, I appreciate the smiles I read, what a reward for sharing
a little of the joy. For sure the best rendition of "Cielito Linda" that I have ever found, (even if it was produced by Banamex, geezzzzzzz).
