If your freshly cooked meals include tantalizing lime spritzed over everything ,
If you fall asleep to the white noise of engines and can hear a full melodic range of car horns at any time of the day,
If your apartment feels like it is experiencing minor earthquake tremor whenever a heavy truck rolls by,
If your sense of sight is delighted by festive colors decking the simplest of storefronts,
If at midnight you are visiting with friends in a tiny restaurant over tacos al pastor,
If people are more important than schedules and chatting over coffee is a sacred hour,
If the pleasant cadence of Spanish can convey meaning that your own native language just can’t verbalize,
If on your first meeting with an hermano or hermana in Christ you feel like you have known them all your life,
If God is doing big things in a big city and you are thrilled to be just a little part of it,
You might be in Mexico City.
I know I am.

Like your concreteness in this, Carolyn. Esp. since you SHOWED us where you were and didn't say the exact place till the END.
Glad you are there in that beautiful place you love and, more importantly, where God wants you to be right now;).
This is Whitney, btw! Silly me forgot to say so;p. ;)
Very well said! You expressed it all. I am soooo envious!
Sounds like you're in the right place. :)
Praying for you Carolyn. So glad I got to see you Sunday and so thankful for the hug!
Haha, sounds a lot like Panama City. Except we don't have much free time here. Panamanians work waaaay too hard.
so wonderful. :)
