Felicidades por tu nueva pagina Jim
me da gusto ver tu nueva pagina. Saludos
Lake Chapala and San Miguel expatriates have very active, current blogs.
I am pleased to have Cuernavaca “toot its horn” as well. Good luck Dr. Horn!
I’ve been thinking about you Jim, wondering what your next steps would be and now I know! Best wishes with your new endeavor! I look forward to your posts.
Querido Jim: para mi familia y para mi, es un honor contar con amigos como tú. Basta decir que nuestra relación de amistad es de 30 años ¡Toda una vida! Como siempre, lo mejor para ti.
Felicidades por tu página, me gustó mucho.

I always enjoyed tour lectures on Cuernavaca and recently on the Yucatan. I look forward to seeing where life’s journey takes you. Thanks for good memories. Ralph Cram
Hi Jim, Bob and I will be following your new endeavor. Will you ever get to FL to visit or NH for that matter. Fondly Judy McLean
Hi Jim – Great to hear from you again. Marilyn & I thoroughly enjoyed all past trips with you, and look forward to following your future endeavors. Steve & Marilyn Seeman
Dear Jim, Travelling with you and listening to your lectures was wonderful. Bob and I miss it. We will definitely be following your blog. How exciting. Abrazos, Elga
Hi, Jim! Merry Christmas! My memories of all the trips I have taken with you are among my best. I turn 80 in a few days & am recovering from knee replacement surgery. My only travel plans are to go to Oklahoma to spend Christmas with my whole little family including my great-grand triplets who are 5 and a half. My best wishes to you & thanks for great travels.

Maestro, socio, colaborador, pero encima de todo, buen amigo; Gracias Jim. Francisco Cisneros. Universidad Internacional en Cuernavaca (tu tan querido Centro Bilingüe).
Jim,
One of my biggest regrets is not finding time to go on one of your celebrated tours.

I’m so sorry there won’t be a Cuernavaca Elderhostel any more. Loved your insights and information about Mexico since I live 10 miles from it myself. Would love to hear your ideas on visiting now? Do you feel safe in Cuernavaca? What a shame that the great interchange between Mexico and the US has dried up! Any thoughts? Nancy Bashant
Very nice beginning!
Jim, delighted to see your blog and looking forward to reading more.
Still savoring our Yucatan trip, 2012.

I read your blog piece on Acapulco and am on my way down!

This is a great way to stay in contact with you, Jim. Muchas Gracias
Querido Jim, muchas felicidades por tu nueva página. La compartíré con mucho gusto.

I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours as of
late, yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It is beautiful worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters
and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the internet might be a lot more helpful than ever before.
Sorry I just found your kind comment, but it was not directed to a specific article. Thanks for the complement.
I’d like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this
website. I am hoping to check out the same high-grade content by you later on as
well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own, personal blog
now 😉
Sorry I just found your kind comment. I really appreciate the generous complement.
I never heard of you before reading the Cuernads today. Living in Tepoztlan, Morelos, I will read you blog with interest. Would like to meet you sometime. Thanks for continuing what seems to be fine work.
Thanks for commenting. Surprised you missed the 100 previous times I have posted on Cuerna ads.
Perhaps you aren’t in Newcomers since I have written often for the newsletter and spoke to the group
on US – Mexican diplomacy last April. That talk is on the blog. Regards Jim

I am thinking about this trip. It would be my 70th birthday present from my brother and his family. It may be the trip of a lifetime.
Jim, one thing I learned from making the trip down the Amazon with your photos is how big it is: tributaries flow into it from all over South America. The photo of the Marmoset eating your hearing aid made me laugh so hard that Juana María rushed over to see it. The way you wound up the trip with the recipe for Pisco Sour has determined me to try Pisco. Got any? I hear it is the national drink of Peru, like tequila is here. Someone told me that the most popular brand is called EL DEMONIO DE LOS ANDES and has an image of Pizzaro on the bottle massacring quechas.
Querido Jim. Todavilla viviendo in Charleston, S.C.
On my way home this afternoon, you crossed my mind. I am both glad and surprised you have officially retired and, is is typically you I remember, moved on with your passions for travel and writing.
It was nice to read the overwhelming number of supportive responses and salutations you received. I am sure the posts are but a few of many.
Would love to hear from you. I am not on any social sites otherbthan e-mail.
Regards,
Ron Roy
hi Ron, I did not get the automatic notice of a comment I should have gotten and just saw this. Thanks so much for reading the blog and commenting. I am not sure my email for you is correct since I didn’t get a reply to a mail some time back…please confirm… always glad to stay in touch with someone who provided so many happy memories. Warmest regards.

James, I am an artist in the U.S., an oil painter and I have two missions, one, I would love to meet you, as my wife and I are wanting to relocate to Cuernavaca, second, I would love to reconnect with the artist Victor Contreras. We met him through an acquaintance years ago. I have an Instagram account and other than that I am not on social media. Hope to hear from you. George Hallmark
