American Fly on Mexican Walls

Valarias friend, Penny, says out of the blue the Tuesday before Labor Day in 1985, Lets go to Mexico. Valaria says, Okay! Lets go! and the two friends set out on an adventure that will forever change their lives. In Mexico, they discover people who care about and trust each otherand a culture where family is intact. Its a place where womanhood is revered, where love is treasured, and where beautiful music meets your ears night and day. They make it a priority to fully enjoy the Mexican experience, avoiding other Americans and tourists who treat the natives like servants. The two friends sit on the edge of cliffs overhanging calm, emerald colored waters. They use sparkling clean outhouses in the middle of nowhere. They watch women slowly drive cattle down the riverbed. Valaria also makes new friends, including one close oneOscarwho tells her, I cannot take care of you in the States, but when you are in my country I will always see to it you have food to eat and a place to sleep. Youll be touched by the discoveries Valaria makes about herself and life in An American Fly on Mexican Walls.
