Pros and Cons of Mexico

So, I have been thinking about how my life has been since we moved to Mexico and what is good and what is bad. Here is what I came up with:

Pros

•   Life is so much calmer here even with all the gun fights.
•  The food is AWESOME.
•  Most of the people here are very nice.
•  You usually have a store at most 2 houses down from you because, a lot of people have stores in their houses.
• The amusement areas are very cheap to get into.
•  I absolutely cannot live without the bolitas de cajeta and Tostitos preparados con elote!!!
• Rent is cheap here.
• Last but, not least: My husband.

Cons

•  Drug Cartels
•  Most restaurants are nasty.
•  A lot of women hate seeing an American with ¨their Mexican Men¨ so they try to cause problems!!!      (These are the women who make Mexican women look so insecure.)
• The kids always want something from the store since it is so close.
• It seems to smell like sewage all the time. Yuck!!!
• It never rains and when it finally does, everything floods.
• Salaries are even cheaper than the rent.
• The heat, 110 humid degrees!!

So, this is what I came up with and well, I figure that I can deal with and come to love living in Mexico.  I would love it even more if I had more money but, that is wishful thinking right now. If anybody can think of anything else feel free to add to list. Have a wonderful Sunday evening ladies and if you are anywhere near Monterrey, enjoy this wonderfully cool weather.
