More than a ramble among places, this is a journey among the Mexican people and their culture. As Flandrau himself wrote, this is "one long, carelessly written but absorbing romance."

Haven't reread this in 4 years. But an old librarian world travelling friend in Mexico gave it to me as a birthday gift. I must have lent or given it away twice. The story of his attempts to work a failing coffee plantation while dealing with native practices..many of which date back to the Conquest, had me in tears of laughter.
Much of Mexican behavior and custom today is recognizable as being nearly identical to when Flandrau wrote this. The Brits he describes are bred in the bone also.
A treat to read if you love Mexico, people, clever observations and humor.
