Mexico pictures on Facebook

Will wonders never cease? I decided to try something new this year and I have now joined the social networking site Facebook. I wanted to tell you this because I am now posting beautiful pictures on it that we have taken from all over Mexico. Places like Tulum, Morelia, Playa del Carmen, Bacalar, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, and Merida for a few . . . . . . I am also posting pictures of various ruins.

If you are not familiar with it, you can go to http://www.facebook.com/. We can become friends if you look me up by Suzanne Marie Bandick. You need to become a member yourself but there is no cost and what you do with your membership is up to you. When you friend me, please let me know you came from my blog. Thanks!

The pictures we took in Mexico are found on a page I created called Living in Mexico. You can access this page by going to my profile and clicking the info tab, the link to the Mexico page is on the bottom. Enjoy! You can sign up to be a fan of the page.

Check back to the page often as I am just starting to load Mexico pictures and play with everything Facebook has to offer.

It is kind of fun so maybe I’ll try more new stuff this year. Stay tuned.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico cost of living

Many people enquire on the cost of living in Mexico. Here is what we find ….

Our family moved to Playa del Carmen from Canada and we currently live for a little more than half of what it would cost us to live in Canada. We have friends who are retired and live here on much less than we do as we have two teenagers still in school and we pay for their schooling every month.

My husband, Shawn, constantly hears clients complain about the high property taxes they have to pay where they live. Our property taxes are less than 200 USD per year and I don’t know anyone here that pays even 500 dollars taxes per year. We also find that most food costs less and eating out is less expensive.

Remember that all this is even with the fact that we live in a very popular beach town. With inland Mexico the costs will be even less. As I have mentioned before, Merida, another beautiful city only about 4 hours away, costs even less to live in.

Yet another reason to appreciate Mexico.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

The Real Mexico

The “Real Mexico” – what is that??? Really, how many ways are there to describe Mexico? Fifty people could go to the same city and I bet they would come away with 40 different experiences. What part of town did you go to? What did you look at? What did you focus on? Who did you meet? How did you treat the people you met? The variables go on and on.

Mexico is so diverse that you can buy raw chicken from the back of someone’s truck for lunch and then dine at a 5 star restaurant for dinner. You can be shopping in an open air market with raw meat hanging all around you at 10:00 and shopping in Sam’s Club or a big box grocery store by 11:00.

How you live in Mexico can be as varied as the people.

When we go to Merida for instance, we usually choose an upper end hotel like the Hyatt because it is different than the life we have chosen to live the rest of the time. Let me explain . . . . .

Our house is in an area of town called the Ejido; that is where many working class Mexicans live. We tried renting in the ritzy area of town, and enjoyed it for awhile, but we got tired of the tourists! We now have the perfect house for us with a beautiful private yard. But sometimes we want a change ......

My life in Mexico is almost as diverse as the country itself.

What would you like to experience to know the real Mexico? How much time do you have? Come for a visit - but be ready for anything.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne
