ABSTRACT
Years ago, visiting the United States, I went shopping in an outdoor mall. I found, in one of the stores, the most beautiful pair of shoes. They were really nice, in their combination of leathers and their different style from what I was used to. They were so new and comfortable that I decided to get them. When I arrived at my hotel, I tried them on once again and loved them even more. I was ready to put them in my suitcase to bring them back home, when I found a very small tag on a side that said: “Hand made in Mexico.” I still remember my surprise at finding out that I was actually taking back to my country, Mexico, a beautiful pair of shoes from there that I had managed to find only in the United States.
