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

But here the walk took an unusual turn. People were butchering a calf in the street:

One guy said to Kelly in English, "Why are you taking pictures?" Kelly said in Spanish, "Es muy interesante." The fellow nodded and agreed.

It didn't break my heart that I had missed this event.
