I’m adding a few new blogs to our blogroll that I’ve run across in the last few months.  I think you’ll enjoy checking them out.

Shoestring Gringa - JC and her husband moved to Mexico in 2005, and have lived several places.  They currently live in Sonora.  She is an artist and while her blog isn’t that old it has lots of good information.

The Traveling Was Hard – Puerto Vallarta Girl and her husband and kids  live in Puerto Vallarta now after moving from Portland, Oregon.  He has family in Mexico and they have had ups and downs – all with a sense of humor – as they create a new life for their family.

On Mexican Time – Can is a 27 year old Canadian, married to a 28 year old Mex(ican).  They met while she was working in Cancun for a couple of years, fell in love, and moved back to Canada… It is now 3 years later, and they are more than ready to head back to Cancun.  They just bought some land there and are building their home.

Jesus Chairez C. - Jesus is an artist, photographer and writer based in Mexico City. His work has appeared in The Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Voice and the Chicago Free Press. Originally from Dallas, Texas. Moved to Mexico City May 18, 2008.  I love his blog.

Midwesterner in Mexico – Newlyweds Julie and her husband moved to Mexico City in July.  She says “this blog will chart my experiences as an Embassy spouse, a Thunderbird Global MBA student, an expat woman, a Mexican culinary novice, a gringa.”  I love this blog, too!

Side note on so many blogs these days….Why do so many people feel the need to surround themselves in secrecy on their blog?  Or maybe the question is, why do they make it so awkward?  Some call themselves and their families by generic names that make it clunky to read.  I guess I wish that they would just make up a name for themselves and their family if they want to be anonymous.  But it seems more and more people are doing it, so I am probably the odd woman out on this one!
