Ahoy 1st Mate,

Thanks for sailing by and for your kind words. I have navigated over to your blog and will immediately secure a link.

Hola, Chris…You can count me as Reader #5. I just discovered your blogs and enjoyed reading your ramblings and the rants too (despite occasional rise in blood pressure). Looking forward to seeing more on coffee production and the locals you’re getting to know.
I’m a boatperson living in San Carlos, Sonora when we’re not at sea. Would like to trade links if you think it suitable.

Hey Dan,

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment suggesting a story on the travels of a coffee bean.

I will take some photos of some coffee plants and some of the coffee roasting machines around town.
I will also see if I can get a shot of the beans before roasting.

If you’ve never seen a roaster, some months ago I posted a photo of my friend Federico’s in his shop in Merida. http://expatriateruminations.blogspot.com/2006/05/federicos-cafico-coffee-shop.html

How about some photos of those coffee plants? It would be interesting to follow a bean from plant to pot.

Theresa,

How nice it is to hear from you and to know that you’re following my ranting and occasional travel report.

Francisco is really very cute. He frequently says, “Chris, una pregunta por favor.” Then when he asks I most often say “disculpe, pero no hablo espanola muy bien, mas lento por favor.” He then asks the question sounding as a 45 rpm record turning at 33 and laughs uproariously. He and Eduardo are very close, good students, and obviously products of good parenting.

I do very much enjoy taking them along to see places that they also have never visited.

Next Sunday it’s off to Huatusco.

Have a pleasant holiday and a healthful new year.

Actually, I believe I am reader #4, and proud of it. I enjoy reading your blog, and except for the altitude and lack of heat, we’d be in Jalapa too! I also enjoy the rants some I even agree with. I just mostly decline to comment. Oh,as for the rambling monologues, it’s really common in children of that age, and wouldn’t necessarily be any understandable in English.

I’m glad you enjoyed the report.

I know that you and my other three readers prefer the reports of my travels and life here, but I just can’t help myself. Believe me, I try to restrain my predilections, but I’m weak.

Enjoy the holidays and your new fond freedom from the 8-5 yoke.

Terrific description, Chris. The posts where you describe your trips and your descriptions of daily life are my favorite ones. Not that I don’t enjoy your rants, of course….

I’m reading a book by Tony Cohan called “Mexican Days”, about his travels to different parts of Mexico. He’s an expat who’s been living in San Miguel de Allenda before it became the big gringo colony it is now. One chapter describes his visit to Xalapa.

Happy holidays and have a good trip to the offshore island!

Neil
