Living in Mexico and Learning to Speak Spanish: Tales & How-to Tips

The purpose of this blog is to provide information about Mexico -- mostly through my husband's and my day-to-day experiences of living in Mexico, specifically in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, by Lake Chapala near Ajijic. I write for people who might live or retire in Mexico, for expats or travelers currently in Mexico, and for Mexicans. I write about how to learn to speak Spanish, why it's important, and how to get started. For more, visit my website www.mexico-with-heart.com as well! -- Rosana Hart

An incredible mayor!

This isn't about Mexico, but the use of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking could sure apply, here in Mexico and anywhere. This article had me laughing and in tears at the same time. Click on the title of this blog entry for a wonderful article about Antanas Mockus, who was the mayor of Bogota, Columbia, for 2 terms. He did quite a variety of wacky and fun things to greatly improve the quality of life in that city. (Mimes for traffic control, women's nights out, much more!)
