Lake Chapala’s Town of Eternal Spring

Michael Nuschke, the owner of Focus on Mexico, is a long time resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he and his Nova Scotian wife Rhonda still spend over five months a year.  This week the Chronicle Herald's online Halifax Citizen published an article entitled, The Town of The Eternal Spring by Halifax travel writer and travel consultant Bruce Bishop.

Plan Your Move to  Lake Chapala Mexico the Right Way You’ve read about the beauty of the Lake Chapala area and how enticing it seems from the descriptions in the pictures and articles.
