A whimsical and honest account of a nine-month journey deep into Mexico. Novelist Georgina Young-Ellis was awarded a Fulbright grant, and randomly placed in a little, out-of-the-way agricultural community in Hidalgo, Mexico, where she taught English at the local university. Having to get around on foot and by local transportation encouraged she and her husband, Jon, to be fully immersed in this adventure of a lifetime. They experienced moments of open-mouthed wonder at the beauty and history of the area, plenty of laughter over surprising cultural differences, and precious times spent with an ever-broadening family of locals, all of whom warmly and sincerely insisted, mi casa es su casa. This is a tale of traveling far only to find that the real destination was what they came to think of as home.
