Welcome. To prepare for 'winter' at Lake Chapala, you will want a sweater or light jacket for evenings or early mornings in December and January, long sleeves and long pants and maybe even socks for your sandals. Not much more. Inside, when you get up in the morning it may be 48-50F outside but your house will be holding residual heat at 60-65F. As the day progresses, it will warm to a comfortable temperature inside and out. Travel light; you can always buy a wool vest if you find yourself out unprepared on the town square; the vendors magically appear as the temperature drops.

Hello, Conner.

I just spent 7 weeks in GDL for the primary reason for getting certified in teaching English(TEFL), so that I might do this work if I do emigrage from Phoenix.

I was very taken with Ajijic on a one day visit. I liked its peacefulness and natural beauty with water and mountains seeming to nestle it all together. Could you comment on some concerns as follows. Does it ever seem too small or provincial? I guess one could always hightail it to GDL for a quick fix of "city."

Do you know any Americans from the mental health field who have settled in the area and might even be in practice?

Maybe that is enough for now. Moving is not imminent for me but is a perculating interest.

Best regards,

Ricardo
