Jean-Loup has also teamed up with Dr. Hino of Ensenada Health and Wellness Center to offer accommodations (El Rey Hotel and Restaurant) for Dr. Hino's
out of town patients. Ensenada Health and Wellness cultivates and reinjects stem cells in a patient. Injected stem cells cultivated from skin cells
in the bloodstream don't automatically go to a site and start reproducing highly specialized tissue such cartilage in a knee or dopamine in a brain of
a Parkinson's patient. I asked Dr. Hino and another stem cell advocate in Ensenada to explain the procedure in more detail but they declined.

JZ may have a point. San Carlos is a little too Americanized for me but would be much easier for the daughter. I have recently spent time in both San
Carlos and in Baja Sur and overall the cost of living (especially housing) is much more expensive in San Carlos.

San Carlos: 4-5hrs from Tucson, 7-8hrs from Phoenix, 1.5hr from Hermosillo, 15mins from Guaymas.

Re summers in San Carlos- I have a good friend that has lived there for several years. He says the summer temps are about 8 degrees cooler than
Phoenix- so yes hot but not like the beaches around Mulege. I did live on the beach in Punta Banda (Ensenada)- loved the summer but winters were
somewhat chilly for me. All a matter of what one likes.

My novia works for the MX government at CECETYS the high school. I discussed your plans, as she works in admissions. It is possible for a US citizen
to attend MX school. Here in TJ you would go to the central government and present all your school records and birth certificate. Your child would
be issued a MX government number and be placed into an appropriate grade level. Then, based on where you live, she could apply at the local school.
There is a fee, and uniforms and books have to be bought by the student. HOWEVER if she can't speak Spanish she would not be admitted. The teachers
in TJ public school are not bi lingual (only the English teachers). Your student would be hopelessly lost.
Here in Playas, where we live, there are at least 2, large, private schools with primary through high school in English. This is what you would need.
Public or private, you have to go to the government center FIRST with all your records to get the number and be admitted into the system. I'm not
sure of the rules here concerning posting URLs but I will U2U the info to you should you decide on Playas.
You might want to look into homeschooling, something like the Calvert School.

SlyOnce- good info that should be helpful. I don't think homeschooling a 10 yr old in a foreign country is going to create a positive experience for
the little girl.

Ensenada has one of the highest ratios of educator to citizen of any metropolitan area in the world. Many Schools. It is a little chilly and damp in
the winter but the other 9 months are very pleasant. It is a very simpatico place with the ocean, vineyards and farmland. An other place worth looking
at is Oaxaca. Great and cheap.

Where to stay, Where to go
Finally, the opportunity arrived... :-)
As we described this before we (2 adults ands 10 yrs old daughter) have a plans to move to Ensenada for at least 6 month...
We will visit Ensenada from July 17 til 23th. It seems to me that this is a peak vacation time and everything is sold out.... :-(. We will have to be
there anyway so we have some practical questions...
1. Where to stay without ruining our budget?
2. Where to go to see houses for rent?
3. Where is the best school for our 10 yrs old daughter?
We will have a car so a little travel is no problem.
Any answer and any other practical information will be appreciated..

La Paz is much nicer than San Felipe in Baja, but for a new person to Mexico I would consider the mainland like Puerto Vallarta, or San Carlos, but be
sure to rent for a while first to see if it's for you

Thanks guys...
Craigslist has mainly Cabo San Lucas area but second link is interesting...
La Paz (and Cabo!) is way too far from US border just in case we change our minds or emergency...
Baja to me is more than just destination... I don't know... has a spirit!...

Specify Ensenada in your search terms on craigslist. Also try San Miguel. North of town but a nice ocean view.

whale-ista, I like the Steinbeck quote - did not pan out, thankfully.
Andre- La Paz has flights out often, don't forget it in your decision. Really, rent a place for a month or so, just to get a feel before you commit.
Summer time when your daughter is on vacation might be excellent for this.
Ensenada is fun and seems a really good place to start your trial stay!
Best of luck and come and visit us in La Bocana (Baja California Sur) once you are settled, we will offer you piwo!

Blanca I think he needs to contact you when YOU are settled!! Last time I looked you were roaming the streets of Taxco on the quest for the best
Mexican cuisine in the Republic!! Where to next? | Quote: | Originally posted by BajaBlanca

BajaBlanca, Thanks - we will remember, just make sure "zeby bylo zimne!" .
La Paz is a little too far at this moment - we would like to drive not to fly...
Talking Steinbeck, we are at this point:
"It’s a hard thing to leave any deeply routine life, even if you hate it." - John Steinbeck - East of Eden....
To tell you the truth the biggest obstacle is our 10 yrs old daughter...
our 24 yrs old son is leaving us tomorrow for Africa for at least a year so we are almost free... :-)
