Tony Cohan, author of the bestselling memoir, On Mexican Time.'A whirlwind Mexican journey to sustainability and beyond' SurvivingMexico.com / Book ReviewsDan Gairs writing style in his book, The Mexico Diaries, brought me right into his and Hollys very personal version of their own Robinson Crusoe life. I was pulled quickly into his narrative, reading deep into the night, not wanting to put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed his adventures, his sense of humor, and his outlook, particularly with the many challenges. A well written and most enjoyable narrative. Vidda Chan, retired editor and expat.This is a wonderful memoir for a number of reasons, not the least of which is it presents the tale of an expat couple who relocate to another country for the purpose of becoming acculturated as well as contributing to the health of the planet and its beings. Impressive and inspiring. Gair is a compassionate, observant, humorous, and insightful narrator, and his writing is vivid and moving. Youre gonna love this book!
