We got to spend last Sat. afternoon with some of our new Mexican friends. Whenever I say that it sounds really ignorant & biased, but they really are Mexicans! One of Dave's Mexican co-workers is in MI on a business trip, just like Dave, and another one is coming soon. And, there's a Mexican Nissan employee who is here for 2 years, with his new wife. They're basically living the opposite of us - they're from Mexico on a 2-yr. business trip to the US. Cecilia is really struggling with the same concerns I had about going to Mexico: she had to quit her job to come here, and now she is really bored and really struggling with the language and really missing her friends & family back home. It felt good to know that my concerns aren't really all that weird!
We took them out for Mediterranean food, a very local specialty. They loved falafel & hummus & tabbouleh & shish kafta, even if they couldn't pronounce any of it :) We have really looked for Mediterranean food in Toluca, but the only place we can find it is at Costco ;) really wild!
Cecilia loved the lilac flowers. Lilacs are totally local; there aren't any in Mexico. They were out in full force this weekend, and she was ready to take some home with he
BTW - my Spanish name when I was in high school Spanish was Cecilia. Ah, the irony.
