About

Ten years  in Mexico! Wow! I cannot believe it! Ten years ago, when we were packing up to leave San Jose California, we had to keep pinching oursleves to prove  that we were really  going to leave the US of a and live our dream.

Well after ten years the dream has been knocked around, expanded and changed.

We bought a house, spent a fortune making it livable and in 2005 sold it.

We built our dream home on the beach in El Comitan a lovely neighborhood outside of town, surrounded by a biologiacal preserve.

 In the past ten years I have sold real estate, written columns about real estate, written a book about real estate, was the closing director of a cross-border mortgage company and am now back to writing about it and selling it…real estate that is.

 In my daily life I am still frustrated with the beauracracy of life in Mexico.

But I have many friends, get out and about and do lots of different things, and always have a story to tell.

 That’s what this blog is all about, a slice of my life, with espresso on the side. It could not possibly be my life without espresso.

 Just lke back in California where several coffee shops knew what my brew of choice is, so do the espresso cafes and restaurnats I frequent here know what Cafe estilo de Susan is!

So thats about it about me.
