Daily Life in Mexico

We lived 1.5 years in Veracruz Mexico before moving on to Singapore. We had a blast (well mostly) and below are the blogs I wrote about that time. We miss Mexico for all it’s great things: the people, the food, the weather and the beaches. And we were sorry to go, but that’s where life (or in this case hubby’s work) takes us.
