It is yet another reason on the long list of reasons Mexico is so wonderful. I can't imagine the horror of returning to the US, and I will never have to. Large comfort. It takes a lifetime to get where we are...and it's a damned fine place we've landed. I need to return the karmic favor, as it doesn't turn out so well for everyone.

It's a shame yet perhaps unavoidable how one can get all pent up in preparation. Glad you got more or less quickly out of your head. Rushing gets you nowhere fast, meandering finds you a barbershop/boxing ring in Matehuala. You're a gem my friend.

I see a good haircut and a mean left hook from your new friend. “Stay awhile” he cajoled.

Great pace 🏍️ right place.

Boxed 🥊 pastries 🥮 and carports are always the way to go. Thanks for the fun glimpse.

It was a lucky and special night.

Enjoyed your photos and commentary. Matehuala looks to be a pleasant enough place. It would be interesting to know the derivation of the street named Yugoslavia. Maybe someone pulled up in a Yugo one day.

I stayed in the Las Palmas Motel on our drive down to San Miguel from California. It is very cool. We had all our stuff crammed into my Ford Explorer, so the private car port was perfect. They let us stay with my big old German Shepherd and our cat too.

Thank you for sharing these small stories of the real México and Mexican life. It is always apparent that you have such warmth and great respect for these people.
