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

More Digging Out Photos from San Juan Cosala after the Waterspout

These photos were taken by my husband Kelly yesterday, September 13, as San Juan Cosala (by Lake Chapala) dug out from the mud and mess in the aftermath of the waterspout the day before, and we walked around our town.

I doubt I'll forget the word for mud: lodo.


Below is Calle Cardenal, just below the plaza, heading toward the coffeeshop we like so much, Cafetto Saga, and Lake Chapala.
Heavy equipment working on the carretera, the one highway in and out of town:

You're never too young to help out:

And grownups were busy too:


Aid and medical workers had a number of booths set up around the plaza. In the background, supplies await distribution under the Ayuntamiento (City Hall) porch. In the lower left there is a glimpse of some attractive new artwork recently painted on the cement.
