Gracias, Guanajuato, y adios!

Since I had been posting on the forums on the presumption that we would be moving here, I guess I felt compelled to say farewell and perhaps explain a bit, once we had changed our minds.

Now while Zacatecas will have bowls of birria and a few rodeos, it will also have some of the most harsh and cold weather that you will soon be suffering through here in Mexico. The US northers will blow through to make you cold to the bone and if you are not, you'll be so soaked with rain so often that you will be tapping on your knees to see if they are frozen.

This makes me wonder if you've actually lived there. The winter of 2017-18 was unusually cold, but even then the rainy season ends in October so I'm not sure where you got this description/perception...?

We have now lived in San Cristobal de las Casas for 1.5 years and Lake Chapala for a cumulative almost 3 years. Our initial lease in Zacatecas is 6 months, during which we will check out San Luis Potosi and Patzcuaro as alternatives. Renewing our lease through the winter is a decision we won't make lightly, but with a small enough studio, heating becomes much less expensive, at least with propane.

Anyhoo, in the end, we will see...
