Yet Another Farewell

It was almost one year ago that I added Felipe Zapata’s The Zapata Tales to my blog roll on the right. He wrote about his life in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, his lovely Mexican wife and her family, the “love hotel” next door to his house, his beautiful homes and luscious garden at the Ranchito, sometimes hot political issues, cafecito and marmalade, and many, many other topics. Señor Zapata has a certain flair with his writing and it is most enjoyable to read.

Sadly, last week Señor Zapata announced that he was retiring The Zapata Tales and moving on to another writing venture, The Unseen Moon. I will miss his anecdotes about Mexico as The Unseen Moon will not focus on that subject matter. Nevertheless, the first few posts there are animal stories…even better than Mexican sagas…creative writing at its best.

I’d say the posts are quite descriptive and they produce vivid images. Just reading the words awakens my sense of smell, touch and taste. Go for a visit. You won’t be disappointed.
