  • Hello! I found your blog on expat-blog and had to come take a look. I am also a Mainer, who the long way around, has ended up in Jalisco. I'm in Tlaquepaque, and just visited Chapala for the first time today. I'm teaching English at a private language school here, and absolutely love it. I have been teaching in Asia for years, and although the money is no comparison, the quality of life is fantastic. Best, Shanna
