Okay, so here is the scenario - you have your MEXICAN cell phone (IUSACEL, MOVISTAR, TELCEL) and you need to make a call to the USA.

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Have you noticed that Ihave been eerily silent and invisible?

No I have not perfected a cloaking device.

The last quarter of 2009 was fraught with techno-nightmares for me.

Someone hacked my blog and installed malware. After many tries to remove the invaders, my daughter and personal tech support person, gave up and took down my blog.

It is back now and ready for you to read at www.mexicomusings.com.

Then, everytime I… Continue

Sorry for my absence.

Got a scolding this morning from George and others emailed me as well..sorry for not writing more...the truth is we are just very busy, which is a good thing, but no excuse for not staying in touch.

La Paz real estate is picking up,… Continue

Surprising Facts about Mexico

Kristina Morgan

It still amazes me how much the people talk about why they moved to Lake Chapala. I think it’s a topic in just about every conversation I have ever had since moving to Mexico in 1993. Most of us are still thankful that we found this wonderful community and even though it is well-established it is still very open and very friendly to newcomers. Despite the simple, peaceful life we lead here at Lake Chapala with the… Continue

The tolls cost about 100 USD one way and about the same… Continue
