"Journey Across Our America" Blog

Observations & Reflections on the Latinoization of the U.S. - the blog of Louis Mendoza

(he's in South Texas right now)

from Mendoza's blog: "From July-December 2007 I'll be biking across the U.S. This experience will be the basis for book that follows José Martí’s 1891 call in 'Our America' for a distinctively American culture, one that embraces rather than denies, the dynamic and organic relationship between place, language, and experience that shapes the American continent. In the blog I'll document the exchanges I have with people about the Latinoization of the U.S. as well as my own life experiences and thoughts."

Silly Clown, July 1996 - Nov. 3, 2007

My baby Silly Clown passed away today. She was born in summer 1996 -- we adopted her from the New Rochelle humane society. She's lived with us in NY, in Navajo country in New Mexico, in El Paso, in South Texas... in six homes and she went on vacation with us across country. She was our dear companion, family member, and friend. She brought so much happiness to our lives. We will miss her everyday.

I post her picture here to remember her and honor all the beautiful animals who are part of our lives.
