Dear Mexico Traveler:
When I first arrived in Mexico in July, 1995, I spoke almost no Spanish -- I knew no one --and, frankly, I was a bit nervous. Well, terrified is more like it. I knew I wanted to try living in Mexico, but I had no idea just how different the culture really is. Over my first two or three months, I honestly felt like I had made a VERY bad decision in moving to the southern Baja Peninsula. I was depressed and very lonely, and every day I thought about returning to my home in the U.S.
