It had been forty years since I had been to my mother land so I took this opportunity to go back to Mexico and see it. I really wanted to see what it looked like after forty years.
Well, some things haven't changed at all. And some things have certainly changed. The small town from where most of my family hails from has seen many improvements. The first thing I noticed is that it now boasts many, many new houses. The old cobble stone roads are now paved. The old dirt road that led out of the small barrio to the main road is also paved.
The new houses have electricity, sewage, and water systems. They also have modern amenities such as the internet. This is in sharp contrast to the old adobe houses that used to line the cobble stone roads. Old adobe homes with only electricity and no modern amenities.
But some things have not changed. And I really don't want them to change.
It's still a small rural town out in the middle of nowhere. Even Google maps missed it. In my opinion that's fabulous! Great! Keep it off the map! The last thing I want to see is a flood of outsiders rushing to that small quaint town.
