What I like most about Mexico
I think for me, meeting the real people of Baja, the local Mexicans, is the most enjoyable part. They are, for the most part, some of the most
friendly and enjoyable people I have ever met around the world.

I love the unexpected...you just never know what's going to happen from day to day...never a dull moment! Oh yeah....and the b-tchin weather and
pristine beaches with nobody on them(around here anyway).
a few other things that turn my crank are...
the ranchero life...mulas n burros
the lovely fresh fruit
the beautiful well behaved children
the oh so descriptive spanish language
the family before work ethic
the sun
the clean air & water
the pace
the mexican sense of humour

Enjoy it while you can. The prices around here are going up up up....all emotional pricing.....no comparative market value.

I like most, if you work at it, it's like stepping back in time 20-30 years.

I agree with Shari, the language is pretty darn cool. And my parents named me Blanca, a Mexican name which is unheard of in Brazil, cause they liked
it.
The music......solamente una vez is one of my favorites and a local Miguelenio wrote it! Turns out it was a priest writing about God. Well, that is
what the tourguide said. And along with the music, the dancing!
The food, part of me in a past life was surely Mexican. Give me guacamole any day.

I love that there are dogs everywhere where I live in Villa del Mar. For once, I don't have to make excuses for bringing my dog everywhere. Also, the
beaches are dog friendly, as long as respectful of the people, no one seems to mind my 100 lb friendly American Bully running after his ball off
lieash and what he thinks is "surfing" in the ocean, off leash of course. I am not going in. Its beautiful but looks too dangerouse to me at 49 years
old. Not a gutsy kid anymore. Just wish the horses had a little more weight on them. Very sad. And some shade to wait for riders all day from the sun.
Otherwise, I love living so close to a beach where my dog can be in his element rather than having to trek to a designated dog beach in the US.
Although the rent is the only thing that I find cheaper than in the US, it is substantially so....

Beach Freedom!!
Pitching a tent on the beach.
Taking my dog to the beach.
Having a campfire on the beach.
Drinking a beer or two on the beach.
Parking my truck at the edge of the beach or even on the beach.
You know, all the stuff that is illegal in the US.
The local panaderias are also great places. yum, warm bread right out of the oven.

In Loma Azul it is a sheer joy to hear the local children playing football and enjoying themselves in the evening.
In Europe and USA this has stopped, and parents have to monitor their kids until they come back indoors.
