(First Edition is Now on Sale at San Juan de Ulua!) La Bamba: A Song that Started in 1683 When I first heard Ritchie Valens version of "La Bamba", I didn´t know Spanishand had no idea of the meaning of the words.When I found what the words meant, I still didn´t know what they were talking about!..."Yo no soy marinero, Yo no soy marinero,Soy Capitán, Soy Capitán"... What could that mean? "I am not a sailor, I am a Captain." ... Maybe it had something to do with shrimp boats. I didn´t know.I went along with it anyway, because I liked the music. more here... Founded by Hernán Cortés in 1519, walking the streets of old Veracruz is like taking a stroll through a vast outdoor museum,except there aren't many labels or signs to tell you what you are seeing. Veracruz still has a lot left to be uncovered, and many legends to be tracked down. Now that I had the time, I decided to set out to discover the truth behind some of the legends I´d heard.Also some stories from a gracious lady who lived in Tampico during the Golden Age of the Oil Boom. Each photo has a unique story to tell. Here are some of my own postcards to family andfriends back home. The sights and sounds of Mexico are wonderful. Especially the music! You don´t have to know the meaning of the words. Sometimes it makes you want to shout, to cry, to laugh, or to dance. To be with friends hearing live music is beyond words. If you´ve been thereyou´ll know what I mean. These .mpg video clips are like taking little Vitamins for the Soul which will lift your heart and change your day!Veracruz is a lot like old New Orleans. It is a beautiful area and it´s still "undiscovered" by American tourists. It´s safe and fun. If you are planning a trip to Veracruz, there´s a lot to do and see. Get organized and try to see everything. There´s a lot more here than just a beach and some palm trees. Life is Not measured by the Number of Breaths we take, but by the Places and Momentsthat take our breath away...and for me, Spain is one of those places. Backpacking across Spain is the best way to go! From Madrid to Coruña on the Atlantic, to Murciaon the Mediterranean, to Cadiz on the Atlantic, Sevilla, and up to Zaragoza, and finally, the little villageof Ágreda. These are stories of my own trip to Spain, the whole country takes your breath away. (Still under construction)... more here... In old Veracruz, there are many stories that are just as interesting as the Da Vinci Code. Creative writing is a lot of fun. And if you like, it´s where you can fill in the missing pieces yourself. These are some of the projects I´ve been working on: The Wreck of the USS Somers near Veracruz and the Knights Templar in Mexico. Some of the stories may be true. more here...All my life, it seemed like I'd always had a job. When I came back to Veracruz after the last project, I thought it wouldn´t be too long before going back to work. But, after several months of not finding anything, I asked one of my neighbors, "What do the people of Veracruz do when they can´t find a job?"."Oh Señor, now you have the Time to enjoy life!," he said with a broad smile. "Vamos a pasear! We go on vacation!"...After awhile, I realized how fortunate I was. At last, I had Time to enjoy life!
