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

Walls and Birds in Riberas Del Pilar

Riberas del Pilar is in between San Antonio Tlayacapan and Chapala, and between Lake Chapala and the two-lane lakeside highway or carretera. It's a rather suburban type area, in that it has no central plaza, nor is it densely built up. The homes there are often on larger pieces of land than you'll find elsewhere. I know quite a few people who live there, and the church I go to -- St. Andrew's Anglican -- is located there. So we get over that way quite often.

One Sunday recently, we were there together and Kelly went for a walk while I was at church. First, here are a couple of walls he photographed. He was attracted to the texture of the red one. It had been plastered over something, rocks maybe, but he wasn't sure what. Notice the mural on the second one.

He wandered down by the lake and got these photos. Herons or egrets? Kelly thinks egrets but isn't sure. If you know, please comment. Whatever they are, these two photos below  are now up in our kitchen rotating art gallery.
