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”

Felices Fiestas!
Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat. I’ve been putting pennies in the old men’s hats! This time of year, a lot more of the beggars are children. It makes me very sad. They wait at the corners and approach the cars while they are waiting for the light. I try to keepContinue reading “Felices Fiestas!”
It’s a Boy!
I just learned that my niece, Jennifer, had her baby. She wasn’t due until the end of the month, so it came a little early. Nevertheless, he’s a healthy 7 lb 8 ounce baby boy named Bryson Bruce. It was welcomed news during a period of intense stress over health issues with family. My brother-in-lawContinue reading “It’s a Boy!”
Time is flying
I can’t believe it has been over a month since I wrote anything here. It isn’t because I don’t have things to say — I always have something to say — it is more because I have been so busy! Teaching I started my new job about six weeks ago, so I have completed theContinue reading “Time is flying”

It’s Official!
Well, you might say it’s about time. I’m just glad the process is over. What process, you say? The visa process. It’s official: Lyn and I are officially permanent residents of Mexico. After a very frustrating week, the good news came on Friday. We had been patiently waiting for notification via the INM (Mexican Immigration)Continue reading “It’s Official!”
Where does the time go?
We’ve been in Mexico for six months. Here’s what’s new.
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!”
Easter in Querétaro
So much to say, today, but first, I want to focus on my Sophie Poodle. It is Easter here. Ninety-plus percent of the people in Mexico are Catholic. That makes Easter one of the biggest holidays of the year, here. In Querétaro, most businesses shut down from Thursday to Sunday. People are everywhere! Strolling downContinue reading “Easter in Querétaro”
