Visiting the Mennonite Colonies here in Mexico was like visiting home! Surrounded by Low German speakers and vast agricultural fields of green (scratch out the mountains), together with eating foods such as keilke, vereniki, rollkuchen, and borscht was like visiting an old familiar world witin an entirely new world!
