Patzcuaro
How long have you lived there?

Just talk to people in Spanish anywhere you happen to be. I'm not a club person or organized. Haven't met any other americans here.
In terms of religious, racial, economic and cultural diversity, are the people of this city or town diverse? Are they accepting of differences? Describe.
They accept me. This is a Catholic country. This is michoacan, so we're all poor. Tourists pay a small fortune for a hotel.

I'm retired, but if you can do manual labor, and are good, perhaps. This is a small town. If people are looking for jobs, Morelia, the state capital that is an hour away, is best.

Learn spanish, my friend.
