Travelling the South Shore
Since I moved here four and a half years ago, I have made many trips around/along the south shore of Lake Chapala. I’ve gone with old friends for fiestas and with new friends and my son to show them there’s … Continue reading

The Manila Folder Concession
If there’s one concession to which I would like to hold the rights to in Mexico, it’s the one that deals in manila folders. I say this because no matter which of the many tentacles of the bureaucracy one has … Continue reading

Cuyutlan, Colima, part five
Monday morning in Cuyutlan dawned bright, hot, and steamy. By 8:30am, Jonnie and I were already perspiring (you’ll remember that no human ever sweats, according to my southern grandmother). Since Jonnie hadn’t had enough food at dinner the night before … Continue reading

Cuyutlan, Colima, part four

Thinking about the Ancianos
I know it’s only mid-October, but some of my friends and I have begun to think about what to do this year for the old folks (ancianos) of Nextipac, Jalisco. Nextipac (also spelled Nestipac) is one of the poorer areas … Continue reading
