The Mexico Story
|
Many people have asked why we moved to Mexico. Actually, Kris and I loved Uruguay. However there were several things that figured in our decision to move here to Mexico.
Those areas had to do with the cost of living -- especially rent and food prices -- and the fact that for 9 months out of the year the town we lived in was basically empty because so much of the property has been purchased by expats who mainly stay there December, January, February, and part of March (basically until Carnival is over). Most of those are from Argentina, some from Europe and some from the Americas. There was a health issue of high humidity and mold health problems as well. We had looked at Mexico 10 years ago so the move was a natural one for us to make while we could! |
When choosing a place to live outside your home country, you need to make a list and then proceed to check off or tick the boxes that mean the most to you. I call those deal-breakers.
It just happens that Mexico fills most all of our desired qualities for a place to live. We stepped off the plane here in Mexico and we could energetically feel life! Even as tired as we were, we could feel a huge difference in the atmosphere. That's never gone away. I guess that's why it gives me such pleasure to share with you what life is like here. |

Here at Lakeside we rarely work alone. So when we need information or help,
we talk to each other! What a concept, right?
I have chosen three videos for you that will give you a very good
idea of the atmosphere here in this part of Mexico.
I'm thrilled to be here and to have the opportunity to be of service and to
enjoy the warmth of the Mexicans as well as the inclusiveness
of the expat community. By the way, the restaurant owner Agustin, and
his restaurant is where we fill the bags of food, and it is also the
distribution point where the people come and pick up their share
for the week. A certain group of the kids receives a bag of
food on Friday as well.
The restaurant is called Viva Mexico! Good food --- Good Prices!
