Temporary Non-Immigrant Residents of Mexico
We are now official "Temporary Non-Immigrant Residents of Mexico"! (hear champagne cork popping) Yes, our title does evoke a certain sense of prestige, doesn't it? Now that we’re on the other side of the FM-3 process, we can, and do, laugh about how it all went down. When we were in the middle of the process, we were often incredulous. Actually, I think we were lucky that we only needed to visit the immigration office in Oaxaca three times.

The Road Less Traveled

Mitla, Mezcal and Monte Alban
... the OTT public display of affection you get to witness here. The young Mexicans think nothing of practiacally dry humping each other in the middle of the streets, in parks and the like.

It happened everywhere and Simon and I got a front row seat as this young couple (early 20’s) on our tour were all over ...
