When the rains arrive the skies will, as a rule, cloud up in the late afternoon. Then it will begin to rain - and you will see some of the most spectacular thunder and lightning storms you have ever witnessed. When it rains it is usually very hard, but by morning it is over and everything is clean and fresh. The sun comes out and the days are delightful. The rain pattern is repeated over and over until approximately the middle of October.
Many people feel that the rainy season is the best time of the whole year.
Living in a foreign country, and Mexico is probably more foreign than most, presents many questions. If you have not visited Mexico before, then you have a real treat in store, for it is a different culture. Many Mexicans speak some English and this means those persons who are not bilingual can cope very well while learning a new language and enjoy a different culture at the same time. Many North Americans are concerned with the amount of violent crime in their cities and so they might do well to consider Mexico where, statistically, it is much less. Those of us living at Lakeside feel secure and comfortable at all times.
