We had heard that Querétaro has a rainy season, although no one could tell us exactly when it was. I think it might be now. It has been raining and cloudy for the past few days. Gone are the gorgeous, broad blue skies and spectacular sunsets. The drippy, runny, icky gray days have arrived. IContinue reading “It’s raining in Querétaro”

Out and about, and more…
Lyn and I finally had a chance to go downtown and have dinner at a “local” restaurant. The restaurant — Marie y su bici — was recommended by some of my students. It is a very authentic Mexican restaurant that still serves some traditional dishes (one I call a “bowl of bugs”), along with someContinue reading “Out and about, and more…”
Almost there!
This has been an exciting week for us. Both Lyn and I have gotten to the final step in our immigration process. We had our fingerprints taken in preparation for receiving our FM (resident ID) cards. Once we have those, we can get license plates for our car, which will enable us to do someContinue reading “Almost there!”
Thinking of You
Okay, so I haven’t been as good about keeping this blog up since my work schedule got crazy. It isn’t that I don’t think about all of you all the time. I’m just tired. You remember that I spent the last four years being “retired.” I loved that part of my life. Now I’m backContinue reading “Thinking of You”
Don’t get too comfortable!
Just when I thought things might be settling down, we had a minor setback. Yesterday, as I was walking into the house, Sophie Poodle jumped up on me and knocked my phone out of my hand. It flew into the air and landed flat on its face, shattering the screen into tiny pieces. Ugh. IContinue reading “Don’t get too comfortable!”

My favorite thing of all time is having to go down to immigration and sit for hours. Today, finally, we saw some results. Friday Last week,Continue reading “Immigration Part … What number am I on?”
The Saga Continues
Immigration Everyone told us the process was challenging. I thought I had all my ducks in a row and that, for us, it would be a breeze. Well…. Paperwork In my last post, I mentioned about the fact that everything on your paperwork has to match your passport. Apparently, this also includes your receipt forContinue reading “The Saga Continues”
Immigration Part Deux
There are several sayings I use more than I used to: Nothing is easy. There is always something. When it comes to immigration, both are true. The process did not end in Dallas for Lyn. In order to get his official status here, he needs to complete some paperwork and pay some (more) money hereContinue reading “Immigration Part Deux”
And now, the news…
It is hard to believe so much time has passed since my last post. Then again, a lot has been happening. Over the past two weeks we have moved, traveled to the US, and begun teaching. The most arduous part of it has been getting our new home set up. So many things to consider!Continue reading “And now, the news…”
What a Week!
OMG, I can’t believe only a week has gone by. It feels more like a lifetime. Work For starters, Lyn and I both started working this week. So far, all of Lyn’s classes are at night, every night during the week. He now has several classes and has participated in evaluating prospective new students. Me,Continue reading “What a Week!”
