Oh wow! Sounds SO much like us here in Mexico. Yes...funny though how we LOVE not having SO much stuff. Makes you appreciate when you do have good electricity and such. We just bought a quad to get around, the police allow it. We see parents holding their babies as they drive. Doesn't matter. Everyone is SO beyond friendly and yes, the food is so fresh and good. I guess it all depends what you want in life...for us, its to be surrounded by more REAL TRUE people and love than having to work for so much stuff!
All these Latin American countries are pretty similar. We live in Panama and have a lot of the same issues and I used to live in Mexico as well. Where do you live there? I was in Toluca near Mexico City (and I was there practically every weekend). It's like my heart-land! :) I'm going to check out your blog.
Thank you...right now we are traveling in an RV around Mexico. Was in San Carlos and now in Mazatlan. Lo de Marco nest followed by Lake Chapalla!
What took you to Panama? That's a big skip away!
