Introduction
Carlos Fuentes, more than worth reading if you have never done so, once said “Hay cosas que sentimos en la piel, otras que vemos con los ojos, otras que nomás nos laten en el corazón.” (“Some things we feel on our skin, others we see with our eyes, and others just beat in our hearts.”) He didn’t say this to describe his relationship to Mexico, but I would to describe mine, only not as poetically as Carlos Fuentes, so, gracias amigo.
