Asuncion


Asuncion gets my vote.

It's not in the prettiest part of baja, for the cortez is more beautiful. And it's not the most beautiful town either. There are many limitations to living there.

But the people of Asuncion are the finest I've met in my travels on the peninsula.

Paradoxically, they think we visitors are so special. When in fact they are the ones who are special.

My family has been going to, and living from time in Bahia de Los Angeles. Earlier this year we bought a house from an American and are in the process of buying the land from a Mexican friend.

We have been spending most of our time there and are learning the protocols and processes involved in having our own pila and solar system, of connecting to satellite TV, telephone and Internet.

But what we have found to be the most important is that there is a couple of hundred folks that we have met and enjoyed very much. I can live with very limited facilities, as we have in the past, but what makes a community, city, town or village a place I want to live is the society. Mexicans and Americans live together in our village with a respectful interaction that is worthy of appreciation.

I'm sure there are many places in Baja that have the same touch and feel, but Bahia de Los Angeles is the one we have chosen.

In about 20 minutes I'm getting in the car to visit our new Velatorium -- our little pueplo is throwing a "Thank you" dinner for the gringos who donated funds to finish the much-needed building near the "pantheon" where families can have a quiet visit with their loved ones who passed beyond. Two thousand Mexican neighbors, 60 or so gringo families, just about right for me and mine. In fact, after 10 lovely years I would venture to say "Just Right". La Ribera, Baja California Sur
