Hello. I lived in Patzcuaro for a year which is 20 minutes by car from Zirahuen. This is a very small pueblo next to the cleanest lake in Mexico, Lake Zirahuen. There are no organizations or mail service, even! The only reason to live here is the beautiful vast nature and lovely people and animals. To meet others one needs to just speak Spanish. There are Americans living here, but I've only met two at a party. One has a grand house. I've been told the others live in fenced in areas of little houses.

I would say from walking everywhere and taking a bus twice into Patzcuaro they are all Mexican. People in Patzcuaro and Zirahuen are accepting of me. It's like anyplace, I suppose. The way you treat others makes a difference in how you are treated. If they didn't like you, they would still be too polite to tell you.
Well, this isn't a city. I work as an artisan painting wood furniture. I give pieces away as I have a non-working visa. There are no industries. Farming, growing flowers, little stores for food, carpentry, a pharmacy, an open market selling fruit and vegetables, little restaurants, some horses for rent, a boat for tourists, cabanas for rent.
There is always time for socializing. People are helpful and friendly. Family is part of work. Most families live where they work. The manners of local people are very gracious. People raise cattle, horses, gather wood with burros. There are fishermen who use nets to catch fish in their canoes.

Have patience. There is no need to hurry here. If you like you can live with the gringos or speak Spanish and live with the local people.
