After a whirlwind decision to move from Halifax to Mexico. we set out on April 30, 2008. This blog began as an email log to some of our friends. A blog seems a more efficient medium to share impressions. We hope that it is entertaining and even informative.

May 16

Not a lot to report. I spent another frustrating day regarding the VoIP. However, we did go to a market in San Antonio this morning; there is a market in one or other community practically every day of the week. The one in Ajijic is on Wednesday. This one in San Antonio is small; however, in spite of Jack and Kate’s stories, we were still surprised at the prices. We got a small quantity of strawberries, a couple of zuccini, a small bag of green beans, a couple of medium onions and a mango. The total was 14 pesos or $1.40. We have been going to the supermarkets to stock up on Gringo foods and were getting produce there also. However, that is not the smart thing to do!


Also, we got bills from the medical doctor that Kate and Jack had arranged for us. Office visit to give our medical conditions and medications--$15 each. Barbara’s INR blood test about $10. MSI will reimburse us for the next year, at least up to what they would pay a Nova Scotia doctor. However, these rates are far below rates to Nova Scotia doctors so there should be no difficulty.
