A Different World

In many ways, Mexico is to me like another world...
A world where the people always have energy to do what needs to be done.
A world where food and family are more important than money and materials things.
Where they are not afraid of colors.
Where hanging out in the plaza is the thing to do after school or work.
People outside.
Dogs running loose.
Mothers and babies.
And SUN.

I miss it already.

I've never been to Mexico, but I sense those values from the hispanic community within our community. Joe and I are good friends with an older couple from Mexico and their idea of family, and the reasons that they work so hard and save their money, have really opened my eyes quite a bit.
