In response to palestra38
Across the Sea of Cortez on the west coast of the mainland. San Carlos is a pleasant ex-pat community of Canadians and Gringos, a relatively modest and unpretentious satellite of deep water Mexican port city of Guaymas . I call San Carlos a bottom feeders' paradise for its low prices and plentiful available housing arising from over development in the early 2000s and exacerbated by paranoia about travel to Mexico. Most of us who winter here can't believe our good fortune and feed the rumors about the drug cartels. I like to tell friends that there are drugs everywhere -- mostly Viagra. This is also a popular summer resort for native Mexicans during the oppressive summer months when most of us gringos/Canadians head north. No really ostentatious wealth here and few "gated" communities yet, except for a few former motor home parks. Good relations and cooperation with the local Mexicans who, as a group, are a warm and generous people. Of course, by contrast, all of us Canadians/Gringoes son ricos.
