Villas Kin-ha is now Beachscape. They do have amazing beaches. If you "like" their Facebook page they keep you updated on the latest deals.
I was at the Sandos Caracol with my family back in May, and I wrote about it on my blog: mexicosas (the first 2 posts on the page). I thought it...
Hooking the laptop up to the TV is an idea. I just have to make my way to the apple store to get the adapter first. :-/ I'd spent so much time...
As some of you might have read in previous threads that I've participated in, I'm planning on moving with the fam to Mexico in January. Since...
Rawkus, I wonder if Merida might be a good place to get raw nuts! We would frequent the markets such as Lucas de Galvez and I remember they had...
Cancuna, I can vouch for everything that Gabacha said about the produce and freshness of the food in Yucatan. My mother-in-law butchers her own...
V, we're still undecided on where in Yucatan we are ultimately going to settle. My husband is from Buctzotz, and we have lived in both Merida and...
Gabacha, I asked Marcos and he said that the puchero that he's eaten has lentils, potato, camote and a bunch of other veggies, but he doesn't ever...
Thanks, Gabacha. Yeah, I wasn't sure if there were garbanzos, and I don't recall my own MIL using them in her cooking. I'll have to ask the hubs...
Gringation, I'm going to explore that dangerous territory a bit more... Another thing I noticed when I lived in a little pueblo in Yucatan is...
Cancuna, I have seen sesame seeds sold in supermarkets in both Cancun and Merida. They also sell flaxseeds. Someone else would have to tell you...
One of my observations from my time in Mexico was that me (an average-looking woman in the US) being with my Mexican boyfriend/husband suddenly...
Yes, my husband is Mexican. We came to the U.S. in 2009 on a fiancé visa and got married here. Our son was born in Merida in 2008, and our...
Thanks for the reply! I think what we might do is just save enough and do some funny business with transferring money into a bank account for...
Out of curiosity, where are you getting this information from? As far as I'm aware, you have to take the citizenship test in English. In fact, a...
What about with Mexican children? Hi all, I hate to interrupt the discussion about PC vs. non-PC behavior, but I have a question; maybe you...
I couldn't agree more. I love my church (I'm a Christian, too), but I don't agree with everything they say. Two quotes from Gandhi: "If...
I used to live behind Paseo Cancun, and would walk to the bus stop in front of Home Depot to catch the R-2. Coming back, I'd get off across the...
That's interesting, TJ. $5,000 is doable. Saving $20,000 might be difficult, but $5,000 wouldn't. The U.S. gov't does the same exact thing...
I'm not sure how big of a problem high blood pressure is in Mexico. I would imagine that possibly that with the variety of other spices used on...
