This is one of those travel books that winds up being mainly about the author. It's one woman's unfiltered opinions about a move to Mexico she seems to mostly regret. Some of her observations about the quirky ex-pats she encountered had me laughing, for sure. But she's definitely a quirky ex-pat herself.

Description on Amazon: "México Dreams is the story of two baby-boomers who make their escape to a colonial town in the Sierra Madres – only to find it’s not all mariachis and margaritas. Part travelogue, part inspiration and part soap opera, the story is based on real time blog entries. There’s a lot of sage advice, not only about moving to México – but advice about how to live there without going loco.

And a lot of pointed commentary about gringos behaving badly. No one is spared the poison pen – from the Posers to the Wannabes, the Rescuers to the Sexpats.

Thought-provoking, flippant and sometimes downright funny, it’s a must-read for anyone looking to escape to México. It may not be mariachis and margaritas all the time, but there’s never a dull moment in paradise."
