The one time I got to visit Mexico, we rode on the plane with cold strangers until we landed then suddenly all the Hispanics on the plane turned into friends (This magic did not extend to the Norte Americano's like us) Suddenly there were women clucking over my two little guys (age 2 and 4), people helped us get out of the plane and entertained our kids, and helped us figure out where to go. I fell in love with a whole culture right then.
I totally agreed. Mexico has the most enthusiastic culture.... I LOVE YOU MEXICO...VIVA MEXICO
