I Love Baja!

This humorous true-life book covers two life-changing events -- retiring, and living in a foreign country. The overall theme is about adapting to life outside the USA, making new friends, and becoming part of the local culture. The book also includes appendices on costs of living, Mexican health care, and a bonus section on real estate risks. Many humorous anecdotes from the author's personal experiences in Baja California fill the book. "Crazy Women and Stray Dogs" (the Prologue) provides a glimpse of expatriate life in Baja with friends and neighbors. "Papa Swims With the Whales" (Chapter 6) is about taking three Mexican women and their young children on a three-day trip to see migrating whales in a Baja lagoon. Pre-publication reviewers say: * "Very enjoyable reading and true Baja feel. Excellent." * "It brings to life the little tidbits and anecdotes that make up what Baja is all about.
