Ms. Taylor, I certainly appreciate this page which you’ve posted. I look forward to purchasing your book in a few days. I have lived and visited Mexico for the past 38 years. My wife is from Guaymas, Sonora. I have retired now, and we have purchased property in El Fuerte, Sin. The only thing that “was” holding me back was the Social Security issue of receiving the monthly payments. I agree with you 100% concerning the downturn of the U.S., and some of it’s policies. We presently live in Arizona, are full-time RV’rs. We plan on living in the Motorhome while we build. I have sent this address to several of my friends. They will also be contacting you via e-mail. Thank you once again for your wonderful site.

Rob,
Thank you for your post(s). Yes, I agree that it is very sad the direction the US is taking. I’m sorry to say, but ever since the Bush administration took power that second time, I’ve felt embarrassed to say I’m American. The Mexican media doesn’t bother to show the protests against what’s going on in the US so most people think all Americans like what our government is doing to us.

Thanks for the how-to on getting an internet phone. We have Skype, but I’ve never bothered to get a phone number because the old “compu” (as they say in Mexico) is getting a bit slow and fragile. Also, now that I’m a mom, a cordless phone is a necessity and my microphone for the computer uses a cord. Excuses, excuses.

Cablemas in Cuernavaca offers 1.5 mega bytes per second.

Good job making connections with Hispanic people and working on your Mexican Spanish. It sounds like your transition to Mexico is going to be a good one.

Finally, you are totally right. Family, friends and the God that connects us all is all that matters.

Be well and thanks for the compliment on my writing!

Kindest Regards,

Julia C Taylor

By the way, I forgot to mention your poem. It is sad, but the US government is no longer the servant of the people but their master and we are steadily descending into tyranny and I believe we will also descend to 3rd world status.

There are those that would disagree, but if they had seen some of the information that I have then they might not.

I believe that by the middle of 2010 you will be entirely grateful to be living in Mexico – anywhere but the US.

Live and enjoy your Mexican dream full of relationships and less materialism. Family and friends and a relationship with God are ALL that really matter in this life.

Adios,

Rob

Hi. The cultural articles have been very helpful and I enjoy your writing style. I was wondering how fast internet connections are in your area. I have been a computer geek for years and if I can get a good fast internet connection I could do remote computer repairs and training to support myself as well as using the internet to talk with people.

By the way, you can get a US telephone number from yahoo for about 2.50/month and pay 1 cent per minute for calls to US/CAN phone numbers. $10 = 1000 minutes. It uses yahoo messenger. Here is the link http://voice.yahoo.jajah.com

If you use the phone number for people dialing you, of course you need to leave the computer on. The number is not neccessary if all you want to do is call out.

Calls to non-mobile numbers in Mexico run from about 2 cents a minute in Mexico City or Guadalajara, and up to 6.5 cents in some areas.

I am studying spanish now and am starting to meet with local hispanic immigrants in my area to learn the language better.
I hope to be coming to Mexico sometime after the first of the year.

Adios,

Rob
