This review is from: A Visit to Don Otavio: A Traveller's Tale from Mexico (Paperback)
I've enjoyed this travel book more than any I've read in a long time. Educational and enjoyable. Anyone who has done any traveling anywhere can have a good chuckle at the culture clashes that come from traveling in Mexico or any country where you're not familiar with the customs. These women weren't afraid of adventure and certainly found plenty of it! In spite of the frustrations of things not always going their way, they never resort to racial slurs or any real putdowns of the people they meet. And what a trip. They saw some of the most beautiful parts of Mexico before they've become over-run with tourists. I think the spirit in which they travel is something more people need when going to a foreign country. Go with the flow and everything will work out in the end. A wonderful read.

This review is from: A Visit To Don Otavio. A Traveller's Tale From Mexico (Hardcover)
Sublime. I am profoundly uninterested in Mexico, but it charmed my socks off. Wonderfully written. Up there in the clouds with Paula Fox, William Trevor, Alice Munro.

No doubt one of the most satisfying book you could possibly find!
You go back in a lost world, you travel for almost free, you plunge in a pool of humor, you learn some history. Your life will just got better. Read or steal as they said..
