One Last Post: What I Miss About Mexico

I received more pictures from my despedida (going-away party). 

Jesus, 'El Inge' (The Engineer) and Estela.

Daniel and Lourdes.  Danny works at NXO and Lourdes is Oscar Rojo's sister.

And here is the entire group.

  
I really miss all of you.  ¿Do you miss me yet?





My next postings will be what I like about being back in Houston with MTB.

More of What I Miss about Mexico

Pepe and Katia.  Let us know when the little one arrives!

Clarita (Muy Movida) and Carlos. 

Enrique (Kike) and Pepe Lepe.  Don't ask why they are so close!

Oscarito and Vanessa.  Oscar received several offers to change jobs while we worked together, but he stayed with me.

Claudia and Fernando.  Claudia was my assitant for almost 11 years.  She said I'm the only man she has been with for that many years!

That's All Folks!!!

So, after 11 years and 9 months working in Mexico, it all came down to this:
  • 1 very large and 2 carry-on size suitcases to take my clothing back to the USA
  • 3 pretty emotional good-by sessions with my co-workers.  I couldn't say much.
    • One of these was a small party at Oscar Rojo's home.  MTB was there as well.  It was hard for both of us to say goodby!
  • One box of personal documents that I took from my office.
But more than anything, it is who we are and our influence on others that really matters.  And I think I can safely say that I am a better person becuase of my experiences here, and I hope that my friends believe thay are better people as a result of letting me into their lives.
