Dear Latin America Insiders,
No matter how far I wander, Mexico keeps calling me back. It may be the invigorating colors…no one in Mexico fears putting pink with red or orange with yellow…or any other combination you can imagine. Homes and buildings, clothes, toys, posters, coffee cups, trinkets in the mercado…your eyes are happily assaulted by color. Or maybe it is the sounds of Mexico that entice me…the constant companionship of roosters crowing, dogs barking, birds cackling, church bells chiming, fireworks exploding, mariachis serenading and rock bands wailing. And then, of course there’s the food…
As you might guess, I can prattle on and on about Mexico. I live there, in Mérida, the capital of the state of Yucatán. I lived for a year in quiet Ajijic on the north shore of Lake Chapala and for more than two years in artsy San Miguel de Allende. Whenever I get a chance, I hurry back to those places, not to visit friends (which I do, of course) but to soak up the incomparable buena vida that defines Mexico’s colonial heartland.
After reading this issue of Latin America Insider, I think you’ll better understand. We take you to Mexico’s El Bajío region—specifically to Guanajuato, San Miguel, Querétaro, and Mineral de Pozos. And we make a slight detour to Lake Chapala where you will find the largest population of U.S. expats outside the U.S.
Why have so many expats chosen this part of the world? Read on to find out…
¡ Bienvenidos a México!
