My Little Enclave
Enclave. I bought into this b-tchen little gringo enclave down on the east cape http://www.hterranova.com.mx/bahia/project.htm
and I'm stoked as I can be. Worked 28 years at the same job to be able to afford it, and I'm glad I can finally go and spend my retirement years in
my own little paradise with a cool surf break right out in front.
Now I love hanging with Mexicans and I speak their language. I appreciate their culture and enjoy the exposure to it that I get. However, I'm a gringo
and I'll always gravitate to other folks like me, even in my little enclave in baja. Just human nature. Kind of like the zillions of Mexicans that
have moved to my area of So. Cal. They all seem to hang together too. People like and feel comfortable with folks like "us".
Many peoples of this world are in constant motion - all looking for the next best thing, a better life or more earning capacity. All good stuff. I
guess it's too bad that there are so many of us, but oh well, just gotta' deal with it. Never the less, the tendency is to go to a new place and look
for people you recognise to be with.
Should I feel guilty for buying a piece of land from that nice Mexican lady? Well I spoze i do, just a little. But I'll get over it. Life is good.

Good for you.
It'll be a few years b4 I can justify a few different retirement pads in a few select places around the world. Won't be too long, though!

Don't know the GPS coordinates, but just go 16 miles out the east cape road and you will run into this....that is if you know the turnoff.

Congratulations. What lot did you acquire and what do you plan to build/place on it? The way the Mexican economy is increasing, so says me, it
won't be too many years before your neighbors are not all gringos...just like here in the states....

South of Boca de Tule at Las Destiladeras. We are going to build a modest yet stylish1500 square foot house on lot #12 with a view of the surf break.
Construction starts in May. Yahoo!!!
This is a great adventure so far. I'll keep you all posted on how the construction project goes.
The road is paved all the way to Laguna Hills and it looks like it will be paved to Zacatitos soon. So far it is graded smooth like butter from Laguna
to Zac. I'm writing here about the new inland road that parallels the old coast road. I hope they don't pave past Zacatitos for some time since it
keeps the riff-raff out.

Perhaps you are entirely correct Sr. Sculpin, and the bad road keeps the Riff-Raff in!

February 1996 my wife and I camped on the beach at the end of the arroyo for a night. Very nice beach. You are a lucky guy.

Someone needs to be flogged...
...for posting that 'Nice six foot day' photo above!
Here we are at home in Stockton, choking in all the smoke from the fires in the mountains....and you go an post that damn, many-hued ocean view, clear
as a bell, as far as the eye can see...CRAP! 
What I'd give to be wiggling my toes in the beach sand, down there, right now!
Enjoy, and my you stub you toe on on a hidden sea shell on your evening walk!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragemant Nomads! Sonora, you would be welcome to stop by any time for a cool one. That goes for all the
regulars on this board.
Tim, we are having a contractor build the house and we will stay in our trailer while the work gets done.
Is there a left nearby? Yes, at the other end of the little bay. And you can launch your boat in between.
