What do we like more about Mexico than the United States?

I know it is hard to believe that we could ever like things in another country better than in the U.S. but there are some benefits! When I asked the boys and Annie what they like better about living here, they had many responses. They said they like it because you can wear whatever you want and nobody cares what you look like. Example: holes in your pants are common and if you don't match, you are actually more normal than not. You get to play in the streets and cars aren't a problem. You get to play things outside like soccer and marbles. You get to play at the farm and get really dirty. It is a lot more relaxing here than in the States. People don't judge you for what you have or don't have. (I am not so sure about the first part.) They love the weather here because it isn't too cold or too hot, it is always just right. You can buy a lot of things that only cost 10 cents. If you don't have a car, you can always take the bus or taxi. The best thing of all is that we are always together as a family. We don't have to wait until 6:00 at night to see our dad! That was a biggie! Annie said she likes Mexico better because she gets to start school this year! Little does she know. Remember she only lived in the States for the first year and a half of her life. So she doesn't know much else. However, she does remember the "comfy couch house" in Galveston! I think that may be her favorite memory of the States!
