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

It's cold, here and there!

The high today is supposed to be about 24 degrees F here in Colorado, as we work through our last few hectic days before departure. The low tonight, 5 degrees. It's due to be about the same till we leave, hopefully four days from now. And this is predicted by NOAA to be a relatively warm winter in this part of Colorado. Still, glad I'm heading for warmer climes!

But maybe not quite so balmy as my friends here in Colorado imagine. The University of Guanajuato is predicting the coldest winter in 10 years for the general region where we live in Mexico. We've already heard reports of freezing or near-freezing weather in San Miguel de Allende and Guadalajara. Kelly suggests some lower-elevation expeditions in Cando.

This may be my last post till we are back in Bernal. Boxes to pack, things to arrange for our business, it just about never ends! But our to-d0 lists ARE getting shorter. Our dog Larry is coming with us, our two cats here can stay in this house that we sold till we come back to Crestone, most of our possessions are in storage. My advice to anyone else going through this: don't underestimate how long this sort of stuff will take you!
