Bienvenidos, Ben and Sharon! Just drop us an email when you arrive, so we can get together. Oh, and if you really do find a way to learn Spanish before you get here, would you let us know the secret? Hasta luego...
We loved the home movies of Yucatan. It is so good to see pictures of where we consider home. We are permantaly re-locating to the Yucatan in February 2007. Seeing your " home " movie with the Mayan family and the pig farm was very personal. You are living our dream. We fully understand the difficulties of our complete re-location.We still have so many un-done tasks before us that MUST be done by February. Learning spanish, finding a place to live, closing down our life here, etc., etc. All the things others before us have already done. At times, it can realy be scary. However, we know this is where we belong. Perhaps one day we can arrange to meet, in the land " Where The Sky Is Born ". ..... until then, all the best and THANK YOU! BenandSharon
what a wonderful video! my husband, in one of his many career incarnations, raised and sold pigs. he's told me stories about it many times, but i loved being able to see what it may have been like, more or less, in his own experience. i also loved hearing the way yucatecos speak! thanks again for all your good work.
It's amazing; worlds and worlds away from the one I live in...here in upstate N.Y. I've been to mexico and this video, though different from what I've seen, is imbued with that same sense of purpose and richness I know from my travels. Even just the earth is warmer than all of N.Y.'s smiles put together. My little sister was born in calderitas Mex. She is on my mind... p.s. I hope this made sense to someone...
this is exactly a fiesta del pueblo. the only thing left is the corrida de toros, but it's ok. hey i like your voice when u say that you're working gringa sounds pretty good,and your spanish sounds like it's getting pretty well. i am glad to hear it. hey send an e-mail. i would like to say thanks in private to you. i feel like i am in yucatan. to be honest i've never been in a place like a pig farm or something like that but i think oxtapacab is close to uman isn't?? i am not sure but email me and let's talk. thanks! yucatan is so close to me now, thanks to you. another thing is that i like the way yucatecans speak hehehhe. funny isn't?? i think so, but that's me. hey working gringa if u ever need an hvac installer to work on your central a/c just send me an email i'll tell you what to do, or to do it if i am in the yucatan. i am an hvac installer registered in u.s. that's what i do now for a living.

This video is really pulling me back to Yucatan and out to the villages.
