Very accurate description Victoria. Although I know people who are, I have to say that moving to Mexico is not for the shy and retiring, life here is meant to be lived. The gas trucks choice of it's song of announcement is appropriate, as you will find all 3 of those. The people are good, they are caring and they will watch out for you and offer advice. Hay ladrones aqui, pero mucho menos, que los Estados Unidos y estan "the bad". Sometimes the ugly are us expats, especially those that don't try to fit in and you have to wonder why they ever thought this was the place for them. Our "warm" season is almost past and as I see the weather in my old city NOB, I smile all over again. I love Mazatlán.

Thank you so much, Victoria, for your descriptive message. It makes it all so much more real for me. I, too, lived the *rural* life for almost 50 yrs and now I am "in the middle of it all," and I love it, like you. Your life sounds SO lovely. Just thinking of it makes me smile. I plan to join you, one day very soon ...

One of the best things about Mazatlán is that you can have quiet and peace--or not! We lived in rural North Carolina, where we had to drive 30 miles if we wanted to spend the evening out with friends, so I told my husband Rick that I wanted to be in the middle of everything, and we are. We live in a noisy Mexican neighborhood in the older part of the city, and I love every minute of it. The kids play in the street, and vendors go by shouting their wares. The gas truck plays the theme from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" so you will know they are heading your way and you can flag them down for a cylinder. I frequently buy my bread from the trunk of a car!

But, there are also some lovely communities that are serene, absolutely beautiful, and just as convenient to all Mazatlán has to offer. All you have to do is take your pick!

Thank you, James! The beaches, the seafood, the breezes, ahhhhh ..... I DO live three blocks from the beach here, Victoria, but it is South Beach, and not so quiet and peaceful. And after retirement, a WHOLE 'nother story, huh? I will definitely be exploring Mazatlan as a possible landing spot ... thank you both so much for your warm welcome and interesting blogs!

I wouldn't live any place else in the world! I have the BEST friends here, our neighbors are terrific, and the scenery is wonderful. I could never afford to live where I can walk to the beach in the states!

Welcome to the group Deborah. Definitely add Mazatlán to the list of places to consider in MX. Come on down and explorer. The people are friendly, the beaches are excellent, the seafood is fresh and inexpensive, the breeze is gentle and on and on. Housing prices are reasonable as well and there are nice rentals available as well. I have been here 6 years full-time now and know it is home.

Thanks, Victoria, for the heads up on Mazatlan! My mind is spinning with the possibilities now! Can I just come down and be a nomad, and enjoy ALL the lovely communities that I am hearing about from all you fine folks?? *dreaming*

Welcome back to Mazatlán Mary. Was the Seafarer in Marina Mazatlán open during your last trip? It is Manuel Rubio's--of Pedro and Lola fame--new location on the north end of town. It has a wonderful open-air tropical courtyard on the water, food is delicious and the service first rate. The Pemex Plaza has a new BBQ place that is good and a couple more new spots as well. A day at Stone Island at Lety's or Victor's, bocce ball on the beach and enjoying the great sand and gentle surf. It is a great place for the family and very safe for the kids. Enjoy your time in our friendly city.

We are going to Mazatlan in Oct. We have been going down for 30 years. We will stay at El Cid Marina for a week. We are taking our daughter that has not been back there since she was 3. We drive down from AZ. Any new restaurants I should know about? She wants to go to Deer Island and Stone Island,

I just finished watching George's video about a scorpion and a brick layer. Hoping I can find an artisan to work for--for free to learn new skills. The videos are great.

Funny you should respond to my discussion! Carol Billups just referred me to you as a reputible closing company (and more it seems from your website). I will be contacting you via email for more info :)
