I'm looking outside this 25th day of February 2010 and barely see the street lights. The snow is heavy and the wind is intense. I thought I might just look up flights to Mexico City tonight - good for my cold spirit! My favorite Continental flight from Newark departs early in the morning and arrives after 1 p.m. in Mexico City for only $318 round trip. Actually, the full cost is $414 after lots of security and airport taxes. Not bad. I'm ready to travel back to Cuernavaca and visit my friends. I desire to spend a couple of weeks learning more Spanish. It's been lots of fun to speak Spanish and celebrate the Mass in Spanish here in Plainfield at Grace - ok, it's fun for me - probably not so fun for my Spanish-speaking friends to hear me trip all over their beautiful words! I depend on their good will, though. And I'm not disappointed. My dream, my hope is to get to Mexico again this summer to see my friends Estela, Alicia, Carlos, Selene, Hermilo, Evelia and Andrea - all such marvelous, generous teachers. Hard to imagine the rainy season in Mexico as a blizzard blows horizontal snow outside. BRRRR!
