After spending my first 5 years in Mexico in Melaque on the Jalisco coast I decided it was time to make a change – for various reasons. Those of you that have followed my site and blogs may know the situation – and those that don’t may run into it on the Blog.

Anyway, I’m now living in the Lake Chapala area which is closer to many interesting highland locations and away from the heat, humidity and beach tourists. Have come to no conclusions but think it’s a good next start.
