In Escondido, CA

The world looks a little bit different from down here in far southern California.

Many of the ads and signs are in Spanish and English--and in some of the markets and stores all of the customers and staff are Mexican--often bi-lingual.

We speak enough Spanish to enjoy the linguistic flavor.

The fruits and vegetables in the markets are often less expensive and more flavorful since they are locally grown and don't have to be picked green to be shipped for long distances.

Of course there are LOTS of people here too--we may be the new kids on the block, but there were lots of kids here before us!

The traffic is fast and dangerous with lots of Kamikaze (or macho) drivers proving they are better drivers then we are--but it is all part of the game and we are enjoying it.

It is nice to be back to blogging and we will be at it now on a regular basis--so stay tuned.

Best wishes,

Tomasito
