 alicebarr (Seedlings) ->   Peggy but aren't you close to Mexico?

 alicebarr (Seedlings) ->   You may just need that wallet version!

 Peggy George ->   yes I'm fairly close to Mexico--about 4 hours away

 cheryloakes50 ->   right alice

 Peggy George ->   haven't been to Mexico since late 1950's :-) didn't need a passport then

 cheryloakes50 ->   Interesting, same kind of thing with Canada, too.

 Peggy George ->   do your students really understand the importance of going global?

 alicebarr (Seedlings) ->   I grew up going to Canada all the time (Buffalo) now we need passport and it takes forever to go back and forth

 Peggy George ->   when did the passport requirement come about?

 cheryloakes50 ->   What a great idea for your high school to have a chinese teacher from China.
