This book was *also* formative in my initial thoughts of possibly living overseas. Shortly after reading it we visited Mexico, and San Miguel, and fell in love. A few years later we began living there. We have now spent six years in Mexico in three different regions. And once the pandemic is over we will undoubtedly return. These books were a valuable primer on life there and the expectations that need to be adjusted. Both of Colpo's books on Mexico are a wonderful place to start if you see travel in your future. ( ) Of all potential future destinations, Mexico is most possible, the closest, the most likely. That said, Mexico is impossible. I'll never go there. I'm still intrigued with it and I love to think about a future there. Cohan makes Mexico dreamy and irresistible, fun and adventurous, exciting and homey. I know it. I'll never move there. I can dream anyway. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Tony Cohan's On Mexican Time, his chronicle of discovering a new life in the small Mexican mountain town of San Miguel de Allende, has beguiled readers and become a travel classic. Now, in Mexican Days, point of arrival becomes point of departure as--faced with the invasion of the town by tourists and an entire Hollywood movie crew, a magazine editor's irresistible invitation, and his own incurable wanderlust--Cohan undertakes a richer, wider exploration of the country he has settled in. Told with the intimate, sensuous insight and broad sweep that captivated readers of On Mexican Time, Mexican Days is set against a changing world as Cohan encounters surprise and adventure in a Mexico both old and new: among the misty mountains and coastal Caribbean towns of Veracruz; the ruins and resorts of Yucatán; the stirring indigenous world of Chiapas; the markets and galleries of Oaxaca; the teeming labyrinth of Mexico City; the remote Sierra Gorda mountains; the haunted city of Guanajuato; and the evocative Mayan ruins of Palenque. Along the way he encounters expatriates and artists, shady operatives and surrealists, and figures from his past. More than an immensely pleasurable and entertaining travel narrative by one of the most vivid, compelling travel voices to emerge in recent years, Mexican Days is both a celebration of the joys and revelations to be found in this inexhaustibly interesting country and a searching investigation of the Mexican landscape and the grip it is coming to have in the North American imagination.
