Its been a couple of weeks since we returned from Mexico. Overall I have to say it was a great experience and I could definitely see myself living their in the near future. The people were nice and the pace of life is something that we all talk about when we “retire.” My viewpoint has always been..why wait?! Go and Do while you can still appreciate it.

The only negatives dealt mostly with the infrastruture of many Mexican cities. Poor drinking water and power outages were the main 2 concerns. But after speaking to a couple of expatriated Americans and 1 Candadian, I am confident that these problems aren’t a deal breaker.

I highly suggest visiting Mexico and avoiding the over Americanized spots like Cancun or Cabo San Lucas. Cities like Mazatlan and La Paz give you a real taste of life and offer the opportunity to truly get away from it all. Walking along the malecon, enjoying a chicken taco at sidewalk stand or visiting one of the many beautiful beaches (which are not overrun with people) are just a few of the daily activities you can enjoy with out much or any effort on your part.

Gail and I are already thinking/planning our next move which will get us closer to a Mexican residence.
