About Us

We are both retired. Built a house near a beach in Mexico to spend the winter away from the cold and snow. Have another home in Washington on the Pend Oreille River where we spend the summer. We divide our time between the two homes.

Punta Perula and vicinity

Well we have decided to settled in Punta Perula.
 We are in the process of buying a lot. The paperwork won't be complete while we are here so we had to go to Cihuatlan, an hour south, to see a notary to give our Realtor power of attorney to finalize things. Notaries are lawyers that are allowed to handle land.  We are also in the process of trying to find contractors, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc to give us bids so we can hopefully build a casita come November. In the process we have met many nice people that have helped us, both with names and things we should know about building in Mexico.




We have tried to explore additional beaches, but again they have been gated with security guards. We spent a day with our RV neighbors going to Villa Purificacion. This is a very old town and they are in the process of restoring the church.

Beautiful colors inside the church.





It's a lovely town and much bigger than we had thought. We had lunch at one of the restaurants and had a lovely conversation with the owner, who spoke perfect English as he had spent many years working in a restaurant in the US.

 








A pole in the middle of the street. We can only think it is used for some sort of celebration.




 

  

We also did a day going into Tomatlan to get groceries and stop at the bank. These saddles are beautiful and displayed on the sidewalk.

Another church. They are all so different.

We went to the meat market in San Mateo. Got some chicken. Definitely fresh and not packaged.
   




Just a few tomatoes, fresh from the fields
