Its pretty much paradise as far as I can tell

Dirt cheap living in Shangri La, it would be one HELL of a place to retire to

Some social security, a little 401k or a pension on top of that, throw in a sweet little senorita, and you'd die in peace completely relaxed and well fed

Yeah chilaquiles. They're awesome. It's tortilla chips in a red or green sauce - either can be spicy or mild, with runny sour cream and some kind of crumbly cheese. When it all works they're delicious. I've had some at hotel breakfast buffets that were pretty lackluster. But every authentic breakfast place has been great. They can be eaten for lunch too.

Where does tonight find you?

Any crazy fellow travelers like Stretch around tonight?

San Jose del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas are far from dirt cheap. But there's tons of little beaches around there - and up and down Baja on both sides - that you can buy a nice piece of land for like $15-$25k - then start building on it.

I'm with my friend and ex-coworker Shauna. We've been traveling for a little over 2 weeks and are getting along pretty well. We had some other friends meet us in Tulum (near Cancun) and then Belize. We're in Guatemala now - just crossed the border from Belize yesterday and went to Tikal today - the most impressive Mayan site yet.

So yeah I'm a little behind on the blog.

My Instagram and other social media links are on my blog if you want to follow.

Ah, getting down into Central America now... you still have a looong ways to go, how long are you planning the trip to last? Anyway, keep us informed along the way, I really enjoy this vicarious adventure

Stay safe

I'm SERIOUSLY intrigued about retiring down there, which small coastal town do you recommend?

Dude, I kinda wished you had dropped everything and joined him.

You guys would have had a helluva time.

oh I do love Mole sauce - excellent!

I second this - Scott is a very nice individual - as is Suzzer!

where do you even live?

Getting tired of hearing me go on and on about it? :D

If there was any possible way to make that happen, I'd do it in a New York minute... suzzer and myself on an epic road trip would surely be something to remember

No man, not at all. It just seems like it would have been a great adventure for you to join him.

I'll do it someday myself, when I'm in my late 60's or 70's.

No time at the present.

Yeah, thats a bucket list trip if one ever existed

Hell who needs Patagonia just roam around Mexico living it up

Look into the areas around Cerritos and Todos Santos. If you're not into surfing look into El Requeson around Bahia de Concepcion. Bahia de Ascuncion was also nice on the Pacific coast.

Really you just need to drive down there and figure out which vibe floats your boat. Some beaches are all Canadians. Some are all US snowbirds. Some are more mixed.
