Why Mexico?

 I'm using W for Why Mexico simply because no other W word flew into my head. To write a full post on Why Mexico seems repetitive, since pretty much every post during this Challenge is about Why Mexico. 

Weather. Proximity to the US. Economy. More relaxed lifestyle. Friendly people. The opportunity to gain more fluency in a second language. Physical and Emotional health benefits.

Therefore, I will use this post to answer any questions anyone has for me about Why Mexico? Or anything else you might want to ask after following my April posts.

Meanwhile, here are a few more photos of Mexico specifically, since it's the country (outside of my home country) where I have spent the most time.

 

Tropical fruit with taste and price far superior to US prices. I can hardly tolerate bananas at the American supermarket after eating the ones here. American bananas taste like a storeroom.


The best diet cola you will ever taste, sold only in Mexico. Pepsi Kick. And I spend a lot of time outdoors walking. Being outside in the fresh air makes me happy.



Ruins of a once great people who covered the land. I love ruins. In another life, I would have been an archeologist.

And there is this. It's a fairly simple process to obtain residency in Mexico. The green card.


And last but not least.....


                                                    STREET TACOS!!
Any questions?

  1. I may have mentioned this, but my coworker is married to a Mexican woman. They go to Mexico every year for three weeks and he has nothing but wonderful things to say about it.

    1. Do you know what part of Mexico they go? If she's from Mexico, I imagine it's where her family is.

    1. It is only sold in Mexico. If Pepsico ever decides to no longer sell it here, I will be very disappointed.

    1. Or maybe it's the other way around and Utah is my home away from home.

  6. Though I have been to the US a few times, I have never been to Mexico. My understanding is that Mexico is very much like an extension of the US. A country that is close by but different.

  7. My mother told me long ago that the answer to a "why" question is "why not" 😉

    1. So true, Mirka. I could just have easily as titled it Why Not, Mexico and then gone a completely different direction and tone in the post, which might have been fun, too.
