MEXICAN HISTORICAL WEBSITES
What's your source for Mex history?
At a recent scrumptious dinner cooked by BajaBound and Bajamigo, discussion came up on www sources for Mexico and Baja history.
Here's what I've been using:
http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/history/historyindex.html
http://www.mexicomaxico.org/ ...THANKS, OSO!
Baja Nomad is also full of historic info, PHOTOS! and writing.
WHAT'S YOURS?

Don't do it! I've found that, in being jubilado in Baja, I've never been busier.

Yes B.A., if you have your health and intellect(ok, I have HALF of that equation), there is so much to do. I read now more than ever.
My reading is also more sensory rich, like most experiences in Baja. After dulling my senses in my 80 hour/week gig in document management, I am open
to so much more in this environment.
It's already been written by others, but, I think I'll start my next book, encouraging early retirement. Like the old Schlitz commercial said,
"...you only go around once!". GUSTO

Thanks David K. There are many personal websites that can be fun reads. You remind me to slow down and check out a few that are listed in Nomad's
signatures.
BG, my bad, thanks for correcting me. I'll focus on retirement in AZ, NV and FL. Those "seasoned citizen" communities have better line dancing
classes than Baja.
And the dancing doesn't start here until 10-ish. And the women, as depicted in my avatar, require a certain "energy" that can be hazardous.

my last employer (Disney Entertainment Productions) that I am just worn-out ( I know, that nom-de-plume was already taken) .... Hope you can
find a little space for me..... Signed, A Run For The Border, CaboRon

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Yes, thanks Old Hippie. Gotta love all of the nostaglic items and photos available on Nomad. Second on Bajaguy's offer, as I always have plenty of
cerveza and vinto tinto ready for the next party.
Enjoying a Noche Bueno, a highly recommended beer, courtesy of Bajaguy and his hot young blonde babe, right now!

THANKS DANAEB! New site for me. They've got the US/Mex war part under construction for now. Heavy quote for your signature or is that simply my
intellect suffering from cerveza #2? Wordsworth's "Daffodils" was first poem memorized, 4th grade. Enjoying the "sparkling waves in glee" of Baja.
Dennis, new beer girl is nothing close to Baja Blonde! BB is the real deal, as you already know!!!
