If you're thinking about living in Mexico, this updated book gives you a good look at expat life on the northern Baja peninsula just an hour south of San Diego. The book also includes appendices on crime, costs of living, Mexican health care, and a bonus section on real estate risks, and many hyperlinks to external reference sources. The book isn't a travelogue about the entire Baja peninsula, but it contains personal descriptions of many destinations from Tijuana to Los Cabos, with live hyperlinks to detailed information about each place.
This humorous true-life book uses true-life anecdotes to portray adapting to life outside the USA, making new friends, and becoming part of the local culture. "Crazy Women and Stray Dogs" provides a glimpse of expat life in northern Baja with friends and neighbors. "Papa Swims With the Whales" is about taking three Mexican women and their young children on a three-day trip to see migrating whales in a Baja lagoon on the southern part of the peninsula. "They Took the Street" looks at how Mexicans cope with road repairs that may stretch into months or years.
