This is the story of my experiences living as an ex-pat in Mexico since 2003. It's to culminate in a published book. With your help, I'll be editing, selecting a title, and cover art: a participatory project. Your comments encouraged!

Cuernavaca-Part Two

July 27, 2019

There are many nice restaurants to chose from. And places to shop. Here is a contrast—the large international store: Walmart, with a small local one across the street: a homeopathic pharmacy.

Cuernavaca sports a gigantic market covering many square blocks at different street levels. Here is just one section with food.

One part of the market houses a large outdoor bus terminal. From here, a direct bus leaves for Tepoztlan every twenty minutes. With my senior citizen card I pay a half price fare, $0.70 USD one way.

Cuernavaca Part One was the previous blog. This is a continuation from that one. Traffic is often heavy, and streets very difficult to locate, but taxis are inexpensive and drivers know how to get everywhere.

If you are serious about Cuernavaca, perhaps considering visiting, I strongly suggest you consult with James Horn's book, "Cuernavaca: A Guide for Students and Tourists."
