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!”
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!”
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”
Blessed with Good Fortune
It always amazes me when, somehow, all of our blessings become evident all at once. This has been one of those weeks. And, as I look back at this past month, I cannot believe just how much we have achieved. Apostille After two weeks of waiting, and several days of panic, our marriage certificate withContinue reading “Blessed with Good Fortune”
Ex-Pat? Stop Calling Yourself That!
Americans are incredibly duplicitous sometimes. Here we are, living in Mexico, and calling ourselves “ex-pats.” No, we’re immigrants. Just like the Mexicans that go to the US for a better life, we come to Mexico for a better life, or perhaps I should say, a better quality of life. We are NO DIFFERENT. So whyContinue reading “Ex-Pat? Stop Calling Yourself That!”
Home Sweet Home
In my last post, I told you that we had decided the order in which we should proceed: 1. Jobs 2. Place to live 3. Car Well, so much for planning. 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”
UGH – Continued
It has been a few days since I started telling this story. Hopefully I can get it down now without crying or tearing my hear out! So, on Friday, 2/16, we closed on our house. That was the simple part of the day. When we were done there, we went immediately to the UPS storeContinue reading “UGH – Continued”
