NEW HOUSE: Los Charales, my first full-time house in Mexico. Wonderful house, it was a $400/month/US rental that had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 patios, 2 yards and gardens, good kitchen, dining room, fireplace in master and living room, lots of windows, laundry room outside, and an enclosed patio/party room with dry bar. It was gated and walled with a secure and covered garage. Came with - and included - Chencho the gardener. Pretty good deal, we thought! And it was.
Part of the back yard and garden.
Back yard also. Before Chencho cleaned it up and I planted more flowers and trees.
NEW VILLAGE: Close to Ajijic, but a bit out in the country, Los Charales suited us perfectly. We often went into town in Ajijic for meals, shopping, entertainment, and to visit friends.

NEW LIFE:
Waking up, I watch CNN—in English. Surf the internet and answer email—in English. Talk on the phone with friends—in English, read the newspaper—in English. Then, I put on my gringo clothes, lock up, get into my Japanese car, and step out of the gate and into the street. BAM!
