Adventure How wonderful to see you are on another exciting adventure. The sun and heat must be most welcome. While you were enjoying exotic sights, sounds and food today, I was skiing in brilliant sunshine and wonderful snow. So, maybe we are all lucky. Continue to enjoy and I will think of you.
Thanks You write so well! I love love love reading your blog. It makes me smile, makes me smirk, makes me nod my head in agreement. It makes me wish that I had a way with words like you do :)
Amazing It truly is a world where you never know what to expect coming from another persons mouth.
Your experience outside Chapman's (store I remember since a young girl) astounds me but on the
other hand people have changed and don't remember the words "be kind and polite". It is so true,
how everyone is criticizing Mexico as a tourist place due to the dangers and yet we only have to look out our back door to see the same. I find cultures like Mexico the people want to please and go out of their way to be kind and accommodating. The warmth and love found in those countries heals my soul. Toller Cranston was overwhelming as a skater and I heard he had moved to Mexico and was also an artist. I am an avid watcher of ice skating whether for World Competition or Olympics. I love the beauty, artistry and determination of the skaters. What talent they have and achieve. Amazing you crossed paths. Your pantyhose and beauty parlor experience had me laughing so hard and too bad about the underpants! I assume you are in Mexico again on your annual trip to help the people at
the clinic. I look forward to reading all your future blogs. ALSO, NOTE, I HAVE A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS AS NOTED IN THE COMMENT PAGE ABOVE.
Bumper Stickers and Figure Skaters Heya!! I sure enjoyed reading your entries. I really like how you mix bits from your past with the experiences of your present. That is probably my favourite part of travelling, how new things stir up old things in your mind and how one ends up connecting the two.
Bumper stickers are great ambient fun. My personal favourite:
ONLY USERS LOSE DRUGS
Figure skating is a bit of an obsession in our family. I'd watched it quite a bit as a child, but Battle of the Blades was what got the bunch of us hooked. We were quite saddened to hear that it won't be returning to the CBC lineup this coming autumn. Since we only have one channel to watch we regard this as a terrible loss!
Sure hope you get to meet Mr. Cranston eventually. Whatever happens, keep those blogs coming into my inbox...I read them all. Luv, Kev
Just having a quick read of one or two blogs on the travelblog.org site and this one caught my eye. Very funny and very well expressed. Thanks for a laugh.

Stringing together different incidents I really like the way you string together different incidents into a coherent, entertaining story.
I very much enjoy reading your blogs.
Thanks god...Mexico isn't as dangerous as Granville St! ah HA! I knew it. Professional writer secretly squirreled away in SMdA. Thank you for taking the time to write up a little something for TB, your written word is gold.
Capturing the essence of so many situations OH WOW, Liz, I was captivated by your exquisite photos, moved by your heartfelt experiences and impressed with your talent of tying it all together with candour and with humour. Thank you for sharing your interesting sign quotations. Well done! Miri xoxoxo
Wondering where in the world you were this winter :) Great to catch up on your travels-you always whet the appetite for the next experience. Perhaps when you return to Canada we could get together for a drink or two. Ps love the pin curl visual!
Good read, Liz! Still traveling I see. Enjoyed your "stories". Would love to hear more "sayings". By the way, I read all the pages of your book and thoroughly enjoyed it! Cheers, Sydney
I loved reading your rambling words, and yes, I agree that there is a talent in being an audience . "Someone has to listen", the mother of two musicians once told me, when I'd asked if she herself played an instrument. Someone does need to listen, observe, and feel what is being expressed by those who have talent, just to absorb and reflect what they are expressing. They need us to to make the performance whole.
Next time though, wear panties under your pantyhose.

Encouraged Thanks, Mell. I am encouraged by the positive feedback. Knowing that people are interested keeps me looking for different and better ways to express myself.
Cheesus Christ! By far your blogs are my favourite! I suspect you may be a pro, but I'm alright with that, you are giving me enjoyable reading during my working hours. So Gracias, and Vaya con Dios!
Guanajuato Amazing photos capturing the true essence of the Mexican culture. The overwhelming words you express which detail the people and their everyday life. From little school children to open
markets with colourful flowers and elderly women smiling, brings much to those who sit here
and can only imagine what life is like there. Thank you for sharing such a true and inspiring
message to people who enjoy seeing how others live in this world of ours.
