We love to hear from our readers. Also thank you for ordering your glasses through our web link. We hope that you will be as happy with your glasses as we are with ours. Let us know what you think of them once you recieve them.<br /><br />You have asked a very good question about our travelling to Mexico. Kevin will address that in a post sometime over the next few weeks when we have time to relax. I think we may have touched on it at sometime or another but never really went into it. No, we do not speak spanish fluently, in fact our first year we only had a few basic words but we have made an attempt to learn more each year we spend here and it has imporved to the point that we aren't afraid to ask questions and talk to locals in spanish. It isn't always grammatically correct but they get the point. Our problem is that we don't always understand the answer. Our spanish/english dictionary gets lots of use.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-21479877451391392752012-11-06T13:31:02.405-05:002012-11-06T13:31:02.405-05:00Hi Kevin & Ruth:

I have appreciated many of the tidbits you have shared and of course REALLY enjoy reading about your travels. I just ordered some free glasses over the weekend through your web link to FirmOO. <br /><br />I have looked back some over your blog looking for how or why you decided to travel to Mexico. Sounds as though it is your favorite place to be for most of the time. I did come across a part where you mentioned that Mexico is not like what the media seems to tell us. Do you both speak spanish pretty fluently? So, how is that you decided to go to Mexico? <br /><br />Thanks for sharing all that you do in your blog!<br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956073497959750615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8560147953193893262012-10-30T09:28:41.917-04:002012-10-30T09:28:41.917-04:00Thanks Glen!Thanks Glen!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54233244382415148812012-10-30T09:27:49.855-04:002012-10-30T09:27:49.855-04:00You can normally go to any local optician and they...You can normally go to any local optician and they will make any necessary adjustments.
