Retro Mexico

Thanks for your nice article on Puerto Peñasco, Mexico ["The Battle of the Beaches," Feb. 24], but I just can't believe it's the same place where I used to go diving in the early 1960s. The town had one "resort" -- a little 1950s-style motel with a patio bar. You didn't mention the atmospheric heat on the beach, beginning in March. It was one of the single hottest places I have ever been. You say this is now a resort destination?

There's no rush

Finally, an article ["How to Become an American in Paris," Travel Insider, Feb. 24] that hits on one of the most worthwhile parts of traveling and living overseas: taking time to get to know the place and people. When I was 19, I spent three weeks living in Paris getting to know the place and people. Since then, I have lived in several other countries, and the most rewarding parts are the experiences and the friends I have made.

Kids are us

I read in disgust the letter responding to a review of the Colony Palms ["TLC Is MIA at Palm Springs Inn," Feb. 16]. The way this woman attacked the reviewer because she had the audacity to have kids made me sick. I suggest the letter writer stay housebound if she doesn't like dealing with a world where children are relevant.
