On The Road


If you recall, we had our last meal in the States at  http://www.gordonbiersch.com/ .  For something completely different, I'd like to invite you to have a fine meal at Restaurant Carmelita ( no web site), a little place just a couple of miles South of Mulege, Mexico.  We had spent the previous night at the Hotel El Moro in Santa Rosalia, an old copper mining town.  I'm not sure what the major industry is there now. But, I digress. Back to Restaurant  Carmelita. Since we were having our first meal of the day we each had juevos rancheros, a long standing favorite of mine. Wherever I am in Mexico, I judge the quality of the dining fare being offered using juevos rancheros as the benchmark. I must say, those served up by Mom and Carmelita were great by any standards.

The only way we could get these lovely ladies to allow us to take their pictures was if we promised to bring them copies on our way back North. I assure you, it will be our very great pleasure to do so.  
Mom and Carmelita are representative of the many wonderful people you can meet on a trip to Mexico. Kind, hard working and with a great sense of humor. You won't read about them in the headlines of the major media because those are always filled with crime, drugs and the other horror stories which unfortunately far too many people associate with Mexico. Don't believe them. Driving is safe (Jay has done it 26 times) and Mexico
 is a vital, robust and beautiful country populated with wonderful people.

If you ever get the opportunity to go South of the border, I can only encourage you in the strongest terms to do so.  Those of you who are like me and have been coming down here for years know exactly "what I'm talkin' about". 
Of course, not everyone has the time or inclination to drive all the way down   theBaja.  Fortunately for those folks, there are airlines. Many of which fly directly into the Los Cabos airport with more than 30 flights per day. Making the "crown jewel of  Baja" close to everyone. Come down and visit. You might like it so much you'll want to invest in a second or vacation home or condo. If you have any questions regarding purchasing or ownership of real estate in Mexico, please visit us at:
