Decline in Real Estate

[Beachboy]

where is the magic to Baja? I fail to see it? I lived and worked in Puerto Vallharta for a couple of years. Stayed there long enough to hate the country, their laws, and their people for the most part! Yes, that's right, I learned to hate these people. Why? Well, at the time I decided to live where the local folks lived. I could have stayed at a four star hotel for my entire trip there but opted out. So I lived in ,and experienced a Mexican Barrio. It was called "Colonial Alta Vista", beautiful by Mexican standards. But once the locals found out that I was gringo...well there went the neighborhood. Every Mexican and his cousin wanted to "beef" with me! Why? For every Mexican who ever had a relative who ventured to America has a terrible story of some sort of abuse at the hands of Americans. Me living in this Barrio was these jerks chance for payback. So I was having to walk tall all the time until I decided to teach "Muay Thai", the the Mexicans in the barrio. Then I became a local hero of types...go figure?

But I had surfed for years in Baja and never really cared for it. To me it was an extension of california itself!

If you want paradise in Mexico, you go directly to Puerto Escondido. Don't stop anywhere else! It's a little bit of Heaven brought to Mexico. I use to think it was in Puerto Vallharta...but I was wrong!
