Wow, that’s very interesting to know. I knew these types of “weird” relationships happened sometimes but didn’t realize the practice was so wide spread across Mexico. It does help me to better understand the social framework in Mexico as I was having a hard time understanding how good people could down there could hang out with the bad guys sometimes? I have a close friend who was born in Tecate and I would see that sometimes when I hang out with him and his family and friends there. This explanation gives me a much better understanding of how colonias work and function down there – how people who didn’t even know how to read always knew exactly everything that was going on? This makes so much sense.
