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

Heading south for Mexico tomorrow

We'e had a great time in Crestone, seeing old friends and enjoying the natural beauty and energies here. First thing tomorrow we'll head out with one of our two Crestone cats, leaving the other with people who already know and love her.

The one coming with us, Moonlight, is part Siamese and looks and sounds it, so we expect conversations with him in the thousands of miles ahead. He needs a health certificate and a rabies shot to cross the border, so we will get those from our vet near here before driving south. That should guarantee that nobody asks for his papers! It can be easier for dogs and cats to cross the border than people... in either direction.

We'll spend some time with family in New Mexico and likely cross the border on Monday. Sunday is election day in Mexico, for the president and other positions. We don't drive long hours or fast, so it could be a week or even more before I'm ready to resume blogging regularly, once we're settled back in at home. After over a month away, it will be nice to be in our own place again. I'm quite curious to see how Mexico will feel to us after this time in the US.
