Anyone else from Mexico?

[LorenaG]

Although very unlikely, I have to ask; Anyone else here from Mexico?

I joined the Texas chapter for now, but I applied to be organizer for a Mexico chapter. I was wondering if other people ended up joining chapters that arent their region or country for the same reason.

Welcome, Lorena.  I lived in

Welcome, Lorena. I lived in El Paso, TX for a few months, but that's as close as I've been to Mexico. Glad to have you and a Mexican chapter on board, though!

 

[LorenaG]

Thank you, Phil! Getting to

Thank you, Phil! Getting to know people in the border cities of Texas will come in handy for me. Monterrey, where I am, is a bit further southeast from El Paso. But I hope to make a trip to Austin next year, where I have a friend with a couch, for a barefoot meetup.

My two years of Spanish in

My two years of Spanish in 9'th & 10'th grade finaly paid off. I understood it all even w/o the translations!

My German did me absolutely

My German did me absolutely no good here. But glad you've made another good contact. Have fun when you get to Austin with your friend. I think Cuidad Juarez is a good place to steer clear of right now anyway. Be safe!

 

[Barefoot TJ]

Neither my German nor my

Neither my German nor my Spanish has helped me out here in the last few days. I remember how to say The post office is around the corner in German, and that's about it. Hee. I love Google Translator!

 

[LorenaG]

Ive been running exclusively

Ive been running exclusively barefoot since august of this year, I WISH I had grown up going barefoot! Cool for you!

By the way, Barefoot TJ jas set up a a Mexico chapter forum, Im writing in english here because its in the main forum, but over there we´d probably be doing this all in spanish, hee hee

 

[LorenaG]

If you guys like trying out

If you guys like trying out your spanish you should head over to my blog where I write (almost) every post in english then spanish. Word of caution though, they are not quite literally translated, they don´t always match up EXACTLY.

Ich will Deutsch sprechen! Maybe on day I´ll learn it.

 

[Barefoot TJ]

Ha, thanks for the warning! 

Ha, thanks for the warning! :bigsmile:

Unless you're going to

Unless you're going to confine yourself to Germany/Austria/Switzerland, Espanol is FAR more helpful and useful. I love the German language, and it was very helpful when we lived in Germany for 3 years (and travel now occasionally); but it's not terribly helpful in the Americas. My 15-year-old is learning Spanish, and I'd like to learn some myself. But German is a fun language to learn and to speak. I mean, what's not fun about Porsches, Mercedes, BMWs, castles and fried pork?

Hola Lorena! Acabo de

Hola Lorena! Acabo de inscribirme al capítulo México yo también. Hace unas semanas tenía la intención de abrir el capítulo México, pero como vi que todavía no los soportaban (los capítulos internacionales), preferí dar algo de tiempo y esperar. Fue una grata sorpresa entrar de nuevo al sitio hoy y ver que tú ya creaste uno! Felicidades por ser nuestra fundadora, jeje.

Yo vivo en Hermosillo, Sonora. Corro descalzo desde Sep/2010, después de interesarme en el tema al leer "Born to Run" (como otro miles al parecer). Me encanta correr así, todavía no veo a nadie más haciéndolo localmente, y por la cantidad de miembros del capítulo me imagino que llevará su tiempo el que "transmitamos" el mensaje a más personas y que se convenzan como nosotros de sus grandes ventajas.

Bueno, un saludo afectuoso desde estas calientes tierras, espero sigamos viéndonos por acá en adelante.



By the way, thanks TJ for opening the oportunity of having these international chapters, and to all the users for creating and supporting this great community. See you all around!

my padres son de Mexico. los

my padres son de Mexico. los dos del norte. fui a Hermasillo creo que dos veces y recuerdo muy bien que los ninos que vivien al rediador de mi tia andaban corriendo dezcalzo en la calle cuando habia unas piedritas grandes. y andaban corriendo como si fuera nada. los chavos burlaren de mi porque soy gavacho y llevaba tenis. me sentia culpable y los quite para correr con ellos.



mi padre vive en Tecate ahora. le visito cada ano pero casi nunca viajamos a ustedes ciudades. les aviso el proximo vex que viajo para verlo.



ciao,



Michael
