We’re going to be traveling some over the next few weeks. Our lease is up at the end of March, and we’ve decided to use this as an excuse to shake things up a bit. We’re going to look for a new home base. As much as we love the view from our current studio apartment, Ajijic prices are getting perilously close to American prices. Also, it feels a bit odd being in a foreign country and spending 98% of our time with English speaking Americans and Canadians. It doesn’t help us practice our Spanish either. So we’re going apartment hunting!
First, we will visit Guanajuato for a few days to see if we still like the vibe. After that we will then go to check out Aguascalientes and Zacatecas, spending a couple of days in each. Depending on how this scouting trip goes, we will then return to whichever place strikes our fancy and try to arrange for a long term rental. Most of this will be with our friend Richard in his car. He’s scouting out some of the same towns.
After that, we come back to Ajijic for a week or so, then we hop on a bus with our friend Martha to travel to eastern Michoacan to visit a Monarch butterfly reserve. Then when we return, it will be time to get rid of a bunch of things and pack for the big move to — well, wherever it is we’re moving. You can get the glorious trip details on this map page.
I finally did a bit of sprucing up on the ol’ blog. As mentioned previously, I won’t catch up on image uploads until after we move. In the meantime, some of the images work, and all of the text works. So here’s something to read if you need to catch up on where we’ve been the last eight or more years…
We’ll send out some updates and a few photos after each trip right here in our newsletter. Coming soon…
