Thanks for your reply. I ask because I've been a foreign language teacher (French and Spanish) for more than 30 years, and have had so many more authentic interactions with people when using others' native language rather than what is more comfortable for me.
I want to spread the word to anyone who will listen: Learn another language; You won't regret it 🙂 I wish more Americans cared about learning languages because it's the best way to really appreciate the cultures and contributions of others – a first step in having more peace in the world in my opinion. I studied German long ago, and didn't really get a chance to use it. It's interesting that there are so many people of German descent in Mexico. And nice to know that they are (I assume) happily integrated into the culture there. Where I live French is much more useful. I love Spanish too, but only get to use it at school and when communicating with friends in Spain. I've never visited Mexico or South America because I live very far away from the Southwest US. Enjoy the rest of your travels !

Caroline,

A couple of us know a smattering of Spanish and are currently studying the language. However, since we mostly sing to German Mennonites, our translator interprets from English to German.

Even in the United States, Spanish is a highly valuable language to know.

Amanda,

The bus had to cross at the same point as the semis, since we were too big to fit in with RVs and other vehicles. The border patrol does not appreciate passengers in the semi checkpoint.

Border crossing can definitely be an experience!

Why wouldn’t they let any of you be on the bus with your Dad? It sounds almost scary to cross the border by land now. I’ve walked across the US-Mexico border a few times, but not in about 35 years. I didn’t even have any kind of ID, though I was with a group, and I just remember telling them my name and address, and that I was a citizen. Things have really changed.
I’ve flown back to the states several times in recent years, and they’ve barely glanced at me coming through immigration. Coming back from Italy a few years ago, I realized as I boarded my connecting domestic flight that I hadn’t even shown my passport to anyone at immigration. The border agents just kept waving me through until I was on the other side. My mother, on the other hand, almost always gets questioned extensively when she comes back to the States. It’s so strange how different the border experience can be from one person to the next.
I’m glad you all made it back to the States, and hope the rest of your travels go really well.
Amanda

It looks like you had a wonderful time in Mexico. Since you travel there regularly, have you or any of your children thought of studying Spanish in order to be able to communicate more authentically (rather than through an interpreter)? Learning other languages is a rewarding experience and a wonderful way to connect more personally with others. Just curious – No offense intended.
