The scenes from Cuernavaca that I recognized from when I was there in 1993-1994 made me a little “homesick” – especially Casa Verde, where I stayed (and met a scorpion – say hello from me to its successors if you see one). I also enjoyed the description of Xochicalco, Tepatzlan, the sugar cane fields, the schools, and Mexico city, and it’s wonderful that you’ve been able to nurture the special connection between Ixtlilco el Grande and Minnesota.<BR/><BR/>You have followed through so genuinely on your plans and hopes to embrace new experiences, culture, history, traditions, and people. Thank you so much for reminding us of the deep and abiding value of La Familia through sharing your home stays, birthday parties, and the generous hospitality of CGE friends and resources in Mexico. I have learned a lot reading your posts (for example, how important it is to recognize ladders of inference and to be careful not to jump to assumptions), and I envy your growing fluency in Spanish.<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a chance to compare notes on your developing social work competencies with Mexican social work students and practitioners, and I look forward to reading more insights and seeing more beautiful photos, especially of you all -- Greetings to Naurine and staff, too!<BR/>TonyTony Bibushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485597197826475432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687469538262241875.post-47611422700672130102009-03-31T12:18:00.000-07:002009-03-31T12:18:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tony Bibushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485597197826475432noreply@blogger.com
