How To Retire Well in Mexico By: Christine Harrell For years, Americans have entertained the idea of retiring in Mexico. But today with the rising cost of living in the US, more and more people are buying property in Mexico and enjoying their retirement years for far less than they could north of the border.

Guanajuato: The Land Of Frogs By: Douglas Bower When theme parks, beaches, scuba diving, and whale watching have lost their charm after multiple vacations to Mexico, perhaps a visit to The Land of Frogs in Central Mexico is in order.
The City of Guanajuato, which is called The Crown Jewel of Mexico’s colonial cities, was named The Land of Frogs by a group of indigenous people. By some accounts, the indigenous took one look at the terrain and said, “Nothing but frogs could live here!” Some say the indigenous found thousa...

Good-Bye America By: Douglas Bower The number-one question people ask us is, "What possessed you to move to Mexico?" The number-one answer we give is that we simply could no longer afford to live in America, so we found a country where we could, and moved there.
We found ourselves in a position not unlike many Americans: A major illness strikes, unexpectedly, and though insured and with incomes, the cost of funding the illness simply becomes too much. It becomes, essentially, impossible. We were not alone.

Mexican Living: Doctors, Doctors, Doctors By: Douglas Bower I am sick. I don't know what's wrong nor if what I have has an official name. Maybe they call it, "Ah-ha-now-you-can't-breathe-well-and-feel-like-you-are-going-to-die virus. I don't know. I will probably go to the doctor tomorrow if I am not feeling better.
Butt-mountain: Life In A Steppe Climate By: Douglas Bower If you were to sit in my living room and look out the picture window, you would see an enormous mountain that is about one-half mile from my front door. I have named it "Butt-mountain" for the butt-like rock formation that sits on its top. Butt-mountain, you would no doubt observe, is covered with yellowish, hay-like vegetation with a sparse sprinkling of small green shrubs. It is stark. It makes one wonder what sort of toxic waste disaster took place to make Butt-mountain lo... Tags: mexico, guanajuato, live mexico, study spanish, spanish, retire mexico, san miguel de allende
Those Dirty Mexicans - Oh, Really? By: Douglas Bower When my wife and I announced that we were moving to Mexico, one of my wife's relatives asked us,
"Why do you want to live with those dirty Mexicans?"
Besides wanting to slap some sense into this person, I was particularly sickened (as in wanting to projectile vomit Linda Blair-style) by this hideous and most heinous stereotype. I have wanted to know since then where this originated.
I think, after doing what writers do—too much research, I have finally found it.
Writing For Free Pays! By: Douglas Bower I am pleased to announce that because of the existence of the American Chronicle, and the kind tolerance of its editorial staff, particularly Peter who has had to endure a lot regarding yours truly, I have been noticed by a travel guide publisher. Because I was permitted to send in article after article to this online publication, I am able to take on some bigger, paid gigs.
Teaching English In Mexico: A Decent Living? By: Douglas Bower What's more disappointing than a person who makes a promise he can't keep? A person who makes a promise that is a lie. Many promises to make a "decent living" teaching English in Mexico are just that—a lie.
If you do a phrase search on Google, "teach English in Mexico," you will get almost 900,000 hits. Some of these sites are filled with tantalizingly appealing phrases like,
"For only a few dollars a week you can have_____in Mexico".
Mexico: Expat Quiz By: Douglas Bower The following is a quiz that every American expat wannabe to Mexico should be required by Mexican law to take. This will help you determine if moving to Mexico to spend the rest of your life here is right for you. It should be the basis whether Mexico issues you a visa to take one step onto Mexican soil.
1) The following will make you run screaming for the nearest taxi to get you to the airport for an emergency airlift back to the U.S.A.:
Are Illegal Mexicans Really Bad For America? By: Douglas Bower I’ve been thinking again. I know some of my readers regard that as a dangerous thing. For instance, the guy who ended his last letter to me with a “your hypocrisy knows no bounds”. I get these sorts of letters all the time.
But, I have been thinking and, of course, I have been thinking about America’s obsession with shutting down the Mexican-American border. You would wonder why I don’t tire of this rhetoric and the reason is simple. America needs the likes of your humble ...

Mexico: The Land Of Little Butts By: Douglas Bower If you have only been a tourist in Mexico and have never lived here, you may have never noticed this. Mexico is a country of little butts and its entire infrastructure is designed for their small, and perky rear-ends. In know this for a fact because I am a professional writer trained to note and record such things.
You Want To Move To Mexico? By: Douglas Bower Expatriate wannabes often ask us how we managed our expatriation to Guanajuato. If I had to narrow it down to the most important factor in the quest to expatriate to Mexico, it would be the following: Research thoroughly and make exploratory visits to the city or cities of your choice. Take all the time you need. Read everything you can get your hands on about the regions in which you might be interested, and visit as many as you can afford.
Guanajuato Living: The Way Life Really Is By: Douglas Bower I am miffed. I am sitting in my casita (little house) in Guanajuato moaning and groaning about something over which I have no possible control. I feel like swooning to the bed and uttering vile curses, but, as my wife often reminds me, “What good would that do?”
Mexico As A Concept And Not A Reality Part 4 By: Douglas Bower Americans are told through slick and appealing magazine ads and maybe a seminar or two that they can move to Mexico and miss nothing—all the comforts of home right here in Mexico. They can have everything in that nasty old Third-World country that they had in America. You don't have to miss your favorite TV shows because you can install satellite TV and have Desperate Housewives beamed into your Mexican living room. (Who wouldn't come running?) You learn that you can have abs... Tags: mexico, mexican living, san miguel, guanajuato, spanish.learn spanish
