Thank you for a beautiful example of positive, life-affirming national pride, I loved reading this. Coming from a corner of Europe where nationalism kind of obliterated the sense of community and pride of our common achievements, I tend to assume this is true for everywhere else--what a preconception! What's more, you truly inspire one to long to visit Mexico.

I loved this! Made me so nostalgic so to go back. I think it's that celebratory culture that made me fall in love. And obviously the food.

With each piece you write, Mexico moves higher up my "must visit" list. I loved how you integrated elements of your childhood history class alongside your current travels.

Wonderful, Karla and Noah!! I love "seeing Mexico" through your eyes. You two are truly gifted at sharing and telling stories about your travels... and life. So enjoyable. I'm happy that our paths crossed.

Love this!! Friendship love at first sight = two Mexicans finding themselves face to face when the elevator doors opened in a Parisian hotel . From that moment on they knew they would be “hermanitas” and friends for a lifetime! TQM!
