Outside of Merida on the Yucatan Peninsula. I did not want to live on or very near the beach because beach "dirt" sucks! . Bought the house which is about 2,000 sq foot, 2 story , small pool, good well on nearly an acre (there were already several fruit trees and Avocado trees) for 19,000. We remodeled the house from the bottom up for 7,000 because labor is so cheap. And when I say "remodel" I mean it needed MUCHO amounts of work. It had not been lived in for about 15 years. This area is one of the largest "Pasta Tile" producing areas in Mexico so we have tile throughout the entire house. My husband traveled all over Mexico buying furniture, dishes, rugs, etc .
Both he and I grow a garden (I only do tomatoes for my sun-dried business, he grows other tomatoes and everything else.) We are also both avid deep sea fishermen. I also have nearly 200 orchids indoors here so I will be thrilled to be able to grow them outside.
