    Learning to live in Mexico

    Life is very different here as a retired full timer vs the majority of tourist/visitors/resort living types. The following has given me a lot to think about. What a delightful lady! http://jaltembabaylife.com/blog/2014/06/living-in-mexico-a-survival-guide/

    Yummi Salads more than Salads

    Much better setup than previous location. English speaking waiter, even thought I was only gringo, was a nice touch but not necessary. Chicken spinach lasagna was outstanding. Great menu! Several items I will have to go back and try.

    Yummi Salads more than Salads

    I was very disappointed a few weeks ago to see the place closed. Glad to hear they just moved. They might want to put large sign at the old place.

    The correct answer is YES!! We are part of the source of the humidity that causes those thunderstorms in AZ, CA, and NM, but unfortunately we seldom get any of the rain on the coast. And I also love the lightning display that happen to the East. Everyone north of here think the monsoon...

    USA World Cup

    It is so funny seeing all the news outlets praising Tim Howard for having the most saves in World Cup history. That is the same as an award to a hospital in Chicago for treatment of the most gun shot wounds in a week. Award means having the worst defensive team in history.

    Cops in Sonoyta

    I tend to be a slowly moving road block all the way through Sonoyta. So many time I have other vehicles with American plates pass me even on the shoulder, usually with horn going and rude gestures from them. Most of this happens the last couple of klicks before the US border. I keep hoping...

    Unlocator

    I prefer a VPN tunnel myself. I prefer to have all international traffic to be encrypted, especially local wi-fis. Right now I prefer Private Internet Access (good price) and I can appear to be several places in the US or any where else in the world. I really don't see any speed loss due to...
