Jose Chavez -- The Beginning

Some of you may be wondering where Jose Chavez came from. Well, as a dark skinned American in Mexico, it was thought that I might stick out. Fearing the worst, we needed to develop a plan to allow me to blend into the surroundings. This had to be a bullet proof alibi. We needed a latin country with dark people. Naturally, we decided it was best to say I was from Venezuela. And why stop there? If you are going to be from Venezuela, you're brother may as well be Hugo.

Now Jose Chavez has morphed into this alter ego for me. I use him to tell me what to do. Because Jose is so familiar with the country already, he develops these little rules for me to follow (for example - you have to tip the bag lady at Walmart!). Jose's comments and suggestions are what this blog is about. It should be taken as a step-by-step approach to moving to Mexico.

Take it serious.

Your life may one day depend on it...
