BTW, I found them lovely people, if not exactly geographically oriented. They would walk with me two blocks to show me the way. All I had to do was be genuinely enthused about their home town. I suspect we are all that way.charlotte ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324853016206528194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486978550014792561.post-63456191751815595092011-03-02T16:20:10.906-08:002011-03-02T16:20:10.906-08:00That should have been "half my friends though...That should have been "half my friends <b>thought</b>..."clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486978550014792561.post-19274957165157747502011-03-02T16:18:59.923-08:002011-03-02T16:18:59.923-08:00Charlotte, when we moved to New Mexico from New En...Charlotte, when we moved to New Mexico from New England, everyone back home assumed that I would have to speak Spanish when I got here. Nothing has changed over the years--when I moved to British Columbia many decades ago, half my friends though I would be going south [Columbia?] and the other half thought I would have to get sled dogs.

We had some fires in the area, but they were contained.<br /><br />The woman worried about violence in Las Cruces needs to understand bullets don't travel that far over the Mexican border. At least she seems to understand Las Cruces is in the U.S. Anyone asked you how you like living in a foreign country yet?charlotte ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324853016206528194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486978550014792561.post-24891736418506275172011-03-02T11:49:28.394-08:002011-03-02T11:49:28.394-08:00The opposite holds true, of course, when there is ...The opposite holds true, of course, when there is lots of attention from the press on stories that might not necessarily effect the people who live in an area. I recently read a comment from a person looking to move to New Mexico--she was worried about how violence in Juarez, Mexico might have an effect on her safety if she were to choose to live in Las Cruces.<br /><br />I know Texas is a big place but couldn't help worrying about your safety until "hearing" your voice, Charlotte.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.com
