My wife used to own a house on Rosarito Beach in Mexico with her best friend & had they not sold it about six months before we got married I'd have been spending a lot of time there with them. Unfortunately, the best friend decided to sell her primary residence in Orange, CA & buy a new, more expensive one in Imperial Beach. And to make up the difference she had to sell her half of the Rosarito Beach house. She offered it to my wife but we were living back in Buffalo at the time & we weren't sure of where we were going to move to yet at that time. So, she decided to sell her half of the Mexico house too. Which ended my opportunity to have a place there.
Oh, well. We plan on taking a vacation there sometime in the next year or two at one of those all-inclusive resorts. So, I'll be able to see Mexico that way. And who knows? If I like it enough down there maybe we'll buy our own little vacation place there someday. Though I can't see myself ever wanting to live there on a full-time basis.
