What do you want? Cajun? New Orleans? Puerto Rican? Cuban? Honduran? I can even do a fair Spanish lisp when needed. My Texan is a bit rusty though.lauriemathernenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-26889267198760730582011-03-11T06:47:56.795-06:002011-03-11T06:47:56.795-06:00I read this post twice, but somehow I didn't u...I read this post twice, but somehow I didn't use my basic comprehension skills. I am glad you met the tender-hearted crusty curmudgeon. I am tired this week due to hosting a group of New Orleanians who are traversing the country of Honduras in search of mission work as well as a bit of fun.lauriemathernenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-65982977431293425042011-03-11T00:18:27.441-06:002011-03-11T00:18:27.441-06:00And the accent is worth the price of admission.And the accent is worth the price of admission.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-33112537520045397972011-03-10T20:24:12.095-06:002011-03-10T20:24:12.095-06:00Steve, Thanks for the kind comment.

My only regret? Having done the entire conversation in Spanish.

There were Nancy and Paul. I was in San Carlos and poof! There was Bliss! What I really enjoy is folks who come to Alamos, they are not bloggers, but we connect and they say, Oh, you are the lady that writes that Alamos blog or when KD and Ian are here and people come up to them and say, Oh, I read about you all the time in your mom's blog..........linda lou and senor toonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-76982901440540327822011-03-10T09:34:11.535-06:002011-03-10T09:34:11.535-06:00Aw!

Not as a result of my blog, but in rather indirectly. Lots of fun. If you ever meet the elusive Felipe, clue us in. Woudn't it be fun if he was the opposite of who he says he is? Rather than a crusty curmudgeon, he may be tender hearted and fun!lauriemathernenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-24181495973886264152011-03-10T00:49:34.578-06:002011-03-10T00:49:34.578-06:00I am surprised of how easy and stress free it is t...I am surprised of how easy and stress free it is to meet the people that we correspond with via the blogs. I have met several people and it is like you say....it's is as if you are part of their family and live next door to them, knowing all about their families, happenings in the barrio and seeing their kids growing up. It is for me at least a warm and rewarding part of my life to be a part of the cyber community.tanchonoreply@blogger.com
