Every time I read one of your pieces about Mexico I start yearning to go back! Thank you for the short visits.

Love hearing your story and remembering the way the Mexican Riviera used to be before it was "discovered."

This article beautifully captures the sense of adventure and discovery that comes with exploring new places and possibilities. It's a testament to the allure of Mexico and the opportunities it offers to expats, all while painting a vivid picture of the picturesque landscapes and vibrant communities. 🏖️🇲🇽✨

Oh, this brings back memories. :-) I first drove to Tulum from Playa in 1994 before the 307 was even PAVED. What a nightmare! But I knew there was something waiting for me at the end of that highway. And I was right. I'm glad I saw it when I did...it was paradise. and I may not like what it has morphed into but after my recent escapades it all would be a respite hahahahaha. Love dining out in Puerto Morelos, last time there we hit some great Brazilian steak house and pizza place. We were almost carried away by mosquitos but the food was worth it. :-)
