MEXICAN CUSTOMS and CULTURE. The fox is loose in the henhouse. September 4, 2016. I now realize just how many USA voters have been deluded by Donald Trump’s rhetoric. And after last Wednesday, Mexico’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto also sees the writing on the wall. Instead of denouncing Donald Trump for the insults he has dumped on our country, Enrique Peña Nieto invited him to a private. Donald Trump has but ONE perspective his own. He was born into wealth and he is used to getting his way. His...These...

Who is Yaya? | Writing From Merida
https://writingfrommerida.com/2015/08/09/who-is-yaya
MEXICAN CUSTOMS and CULTURE. August 9, 2015. Yaya has lived in the streets of Merida since the early 1980s. The radius of her world is one square block between Calles 57 and 59, 58 and 60. She is about 4 foot 6, bowlegged, toothless and scruffy. She does not speak or hear. I am not a psychiatrist, but I would guess that she is schizophrenic. The government has tried to assist Yaya, as have groups of religious women but it’s been a no-go. Yaya has chosen her life and will not consider any other. I’v...

MEXICAN CUSTOMS and CULTURE. Category Archives: Intercultural Living. September 15, 2016. I think that September (rather than January) marks the true beginning of each year. Students start their new courses, and those of us who live in the tropics make believe that the cooler weather will be coming soon. Friends who spend the summer away from Merida let us know what date they’ll be returning. I always enjoy the increased number of art shows — last Wednesday, John Wallner. Architect, Jimena Gutierrez desi...

MEXICAN CUSTOMS and CULTURE. Update on the wee white kitten. August 7, 2015. We couldn’t take in this new arrival too. So I posted the photo of the little guy on Facebook four people offered to adopt him. We chose a family who has children. We thought that the kitten would like having someone to play with. Obviously, the brother and sister LOVED the little white ball of fluff. There was a catch though, the family would be going to Grandma’s 80. I bought the medicine and have been treating her. She ha...
