Baja Diaries-Chronicles of A Paradise Lost

Baja Diaries-Chronicles of A Paradise Lost
Posted By: George Puckett on August 20, 2012


Thinking of retiring to Mexico? We did. After planning for five years, we finally made the big move. We moved to Ensenada to experience Mexico yet still be within easy reach of the U.S., where we owned a business.

Did I mention that we are an African American couple? Our experiences in Ensenada were the same as many American couples living there, but after a period of time, about 6 years, things fell apart.

It's interesting that when we first moved there, one lady spread a rumor that we had won the Arizona Lottery and that was why could afford to live there. That was a harmless rumor but it’s like saying that a black man driving a Ferrari must be a professional sports figure to be able to afford such a car.



No matter. We enjoyed our retirement to Ensenada. There were good times and bad times, but life's that way no matter where you are or what your situation in life is.
