Food

Moving to Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.

Here’s a narrative account of our recent trip to Merida with lots of pics!

Chunk 2: Xilitla & Hotel Tapasoli

Ok, since I have a little time, I’m going to fill in the blanks about my winter vacation. As you know, one of the teachers (Jodi) from the TEFL program in Puerto Vallarta come to visit us in Querétaro. She and I took a driving vacation to some of the most amazing places. Here’s whereContinue reading “Chunk 2: Xilitla & Hotel Tapasoli”

The Anglo

Our adventure in Mexico City, new jobs and new job prospects. Stormy weather.

The Next Chapter

OMG, it has been a hell of a few weeks, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Job First, I am excited to say that I have been offered a new teaching position at The Anglo Mexican Foundation. I am very excited to be starting there in the nearContinue reading “The Next Chapter”

Where does the time go?

We’ve been in Mexico for six months. Here’s what’s new.

On Thursday afternoon, we found a gorgeous house to rent in El Refugió, a housing development off Fray Juniper Serró, a little north ofContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”

A River Runs Through It

One of the things I like about living in the Col. Centro Histórico de Querétaro is that there is a river that runs down the center of Av. Universidades with walking paths on both sides. It reminds me a bit of the Boise Greenbelt, except that here the water is not as nice and itContinue reading “A River Runs Through It”

Querétaro

OMG, we´ve been here three days so far and are just loving it. It is so different from Boise, but so quaint and lovely. Our house is small and right downtown. We walk everywhere, except when we have to go to the store. Then we drive. Our rental car is a MiniVan. The streets hereContinue reading “Querétaro”
