Street scenes like the one to the left are what I remember from the times I visited La Cienega, Jalisco. I moved to Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico for the fall term of 1982 to study Spanish at the University of Guadalajara. I made good friends there with whom I traveled to the small town of La Cienega over three hours from Guadalajara. Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah went with me one of those times to attend a church event. It is a wonderful, very, very quiet little place with very, very fertile soil. There are some friends of friends with whom we have connected on social media who plan to move there. It is a young family with three elementary age kids. What a wonderful experience they will have. They have a blog we plan to follow and, hopefully, if we can somehow make it work, I would like to take Lorena and Grandma Conchita for a visit there. I have added a link to their blog, named Bloom and Grow on our blog roll. One of the first pictures we saw on the blog showed a couple of Lorena’s cousins. It is a small world.
