Mexico with Heart: Travel Tales and Tips

Things to know if you are going to Mexico:

Mexican Cities is a section of one-page descriptions of popular Mexican cities and other destinations, whether you are looking for a relaxing beach, an art colony, or whatever. Some of the places listed here may not be so famous, but they are favorites of ours!

Hotels in the Cities offers one-page descriptions of the hotel situation in some of the places that I've written about. These give you an overview of what to expect, and mention places in various price ranges.

How to Get Places discusses airfares, vacation packages, buses, and car and RV travel, with tips on getting good prices.

Real Estate Around Mexico exists because more and more Americans, Canadians, and other foreigners are buying homes or land in Mexico. The regulations have relaxed considerably from what they used to be, but you still need to inform yourself. I've found that Mexican real estate is not always as cheap as I had hoped, but there are still some great bargains in all parts of the country. There are also comments on rentals in this section... renting a place is a very good idea before making the much bigger decision to buy something. Also, renting in Mexico is often a better deal than buying, in terms of relative costs.

You can find each of these sections from the yellow menu on the left of every page. The Sitemap, also on the menu, describes each page on the website.

I've added a section on posters of Mexico. Fun to browse! And now there are quite a few pages of t-shirts and other custom-printed items with a Mexican theme. These items are available in the US.

Here's the travel tales part:

I wrote a book, Mexico with Heart, about a two-month trip my husband Kelly and I took in our small motorhome. We went south from Texas, along the Gulf coast into the state of Veracruz, then turned inland to Teotihuacan, San Miguel de Allende, and other points, in January and February of 2003.

This book is available as a paperback -- and you can read the whole thing right here on this website, from the Read the Book section. Wonder why I'm giving it away if I'm also selling it? Well, I have done this with a couple of books I wrote on other topics, and it hasn't hurt book sales at all... not everyone thinks it's fun to read a book at their computer! But mainly, I write to be read, and I am happy to share my love of Mexico with everyone. -- Rosana Hart, webmaster
