Living at Lake Chapala—July 2007
Our Living at Lake Chapala writers are putting the final touches on a wonderful slate of articles for our July issue of Living at Lake Chapala.
Volunteer work continues year round at Lake Chapala. In our July Out and About article, Blue has been visiting area libraries with computers, classes and books especially for the smaller set. This article, along with the Community piece, will be special for those of you who are thinking of moving to Lakeside and worry that perhaps there won't be enough here to keep you busy.Our new Community article tells how one of our Living at Lake Chapala readers has moved to Mexico and established his home, his new lifestyle and his new neighbors, and how, after just about 18 months, he is now teaching English to 60 of his new neighbors in San Luis Soyatlan and Tuxcueca on Lake Chapala's south shore. Be sure to read about Charlie's "Life on the Flip Side."
We field a number of questions about life on the south shore, and for our July issue, Jim Tipton is heading out to give you a guided tour to the villages around the lake. Don't miss this up-close view in our Feature Article column.
Former Living at Lake Chapala writer Barbara Madren has a story of her own to tell. Sandy Jeronimo will help Barbara tell the story of her recent illness, hospitalization and recovery in the next Health and Safety column.
Jay White has written another story for us, in the July Soul of Mexico column. This time our storyteller is telling us about Uncle Rudi's experiences toward the end of his service with Pancho Villa's troops and how he came to live in El Paso. This story combines the history of the time of the Mexican Revolution with some of today's immigration issues.
For the current June issue Diane Goldstein wrote the Part One of her Getting Here story. When we left her, Diane, her partner Ellen and their five furry kids were spending the night in a Sacramento, California, hotel before continuing their trip. You'll enjoy hearing about some of their other experiences in part two of "Taking the Plunge: Moving to Mexico".
Then our Lake Chapala Price Maven is back on the job, checking prices on laundry detergents, bleach, pre-treating solutions and fabric softeners. Where can you shop to get the best buys? Which products are the least expensive? What size containers are best? You'll want to read all about it in the Cost of Living story.
We're taking a fun look at Mexican nicknames?want a new term of endearment for your sweetie? We have a choice list in Facts and Figures. Next up, you can learn how to make refreshing Mexican fruit drinks in the Mexican Kitchen, review the processes involved in closing a house deal in Homes and Lodging and check out the shopping opportunities on the other side of the lake in Markets and More.
This dynamite issue will be available for you July 1 at our Living at Lake Chapala website: http://www.mexico-insights.com/ Stop by and read it there.
Life is good at Lake Chapala!
