They asked to talk about it. I work for a preschool and most of the children come for different background, specially central America. I'm very happy to read this about Merida. My parents live in Merida and I was there a few times. I guess we all have the nostalgic feeling and the experience to have lived in other country and see the difference between one culture and other. One day I will come back. Ruth Hello:

Eduardo sees gasoline attendants as a redundant job where I think that's how it should be. God, we become so spiritually estranged from each other. Expensive cars, big homes, career defining jobs and other "conveniences" developed and cherished so much in western society are simply illusions and psychological traps . ¡Viva México! ...

Alvarado-Gomez Thu, 04 Oct 2007 02:31:21 +0000 http://www.yucatanliving.com/interviews-yucatan/eduardo-creel.htm#comment-25188 Eduardo, Just a few comments. About the attendants at the gas station, i.e., maybe that's a job that's keeping them home and not swimming across the Rio Grande and possibly dying in the desert, only to become "illegal immigrants" into the USA to make a few more bucks...Thank you for sharing. I came to the USA in 1968 as an exchange student. Earned an honors scholarship to continue through college. Now almost 40 yrs. later, contemplating, and looking forward to retiring back to my hometown of Merida. Except, though I have mixed feelings because I miss going to market with my mom daily, cooking all three meals, sitting at the front door to "watch people go by", the "chivero" herdings his goats by our house early in the morning selling goat's fresh milk, etc...and these fond memories are part of history...not the present. I'm trying to find a way to breach the time and the distance in cultural experience so I can be comfortable again back home, hope, pray I can. Best of everything to you...Dios te bendiga! Maria A. Alvarado-Gomez---yucateca Eduardo,

It's true what Eduardo says, it is the best yucatecan food around here; there are a few (very few) restauarnts that claim they have yucatecan food but the food never tastes original; but El mercado la paloma has the best Sopa de lima ever! HASTA MEJOR QUE CANAZIN ha! anyway, i feel Eduardo; he is talking about the same things we grew up and miss about merida, from progreso to its gente ha! i just came back from Mercado LA paloma, I go there once in a while, I Wish i could go more often but traffic to downtown its horrible here.
