Travel Info I am planning a move to Northern Mexico, close to the border with the U.S. As an American, I would like to hear from those who have experienced living on the border, what safe yet close-to-the-border places/cities there are for Americans who don't mind mingling with the local population...and a place with a good broadband connection (Internet).
Travel Tips
Living in La Mision, half way between Rosarito and Ensenada is as good as it gets. Nice neighbors, both gringos and Mexicans, getting pretty upscale pricey now. We have DSL and satellite TV, internet cafes, stores with US and other imported food products, good beef from the ranches in Sonora state, wines of the world, etc. "Mingling" with the locals is part of the cultural experiece. If that concept is distressing its better to chose a gated community or stay at home. Mexico is a wonderful country. Baja Norte doesn't have the ancient architecture and history of the South but the heart of the Republic beats strong. |
