By: Gilberto L. /Rosarito CVB The people here have been, almost without exception, kind, friendly, helpful, respectful, gentle and warm. My favorite part of life in Mexico is that nearly everyone will smile and wave if you smile and wave. Their willingness to engage and their trust in other human beings is a balm to my tired soul. I love the landscape too, the sea, the rocks, and the unique buildings. It's as though each one was created and built spontaneously, and then painted in glorious colors just for me. Barbara K. ------------------- As residents since 1998 we have never regretted our decision to come to Baja. The weather, the people, and the lifestyle is all we hoped it would be. If you are an independent spirit with a flexible approach to life you can't make a better choice than living the good life here. Come join us! Sylvia Dombrosky -------------------------------- I am an americano having lived in baja california for 2 1/2 years. I own a home in Rosarito; for the last seven months I have lived in an apartment in downtown Tijuana for part of the week. It angers me how so much negative publicity is put out on both cities. I feel perfectly safe here. People seem to forget that there is crime in San Diego, Oakland, or anywhere else in the United States. It is a pity to see the tourists staying away, the negative stories written about Baja, and the businesses and people directly hurt by the stories. This is my home and I love every day I am here! Jack E. George --------------------------------- It's terribly true that so often it's the perception of the facts that counts, not the facts. So it is with Rosarito and crime. My wife and I live a wonderful life in our condo in Rosarito Beach, living nicely on what would be called a poverty level income on the other side of the border. We "go to town" often and have never been bothered by that "crime" so falsely played up by the American media. I worked hard to become a governor back in the 'states. Literally walking the entire state (1197 miles) while campaigning, I met thousands of hard-working people who would be called ordinary folks. I stayed in their homes night after night for four months. Here in Baja, I have met not as many but a lot of "ordinary folks" working hard for a living. It's a rotten shame that the exaggerations and lies being thrown out by newspapers and on TV "up north," are causing ordinary honest and hard working folks down here horrible harm from losses of jobs and income All of us Norte Americans should try hard to get out the real facts and dispel those false perceptions that unfortunately lead so many people to say, "I don't do Mexico." To repeat, let's all spread the facts: This is a delightful place to live and to shop and the plain facts are that as you enjoy yourself in downtown Rosarito, those bad guys will not bother you. Dan Walker, former Governor of Illinois ------------------------------------ I feel safer here than I have in some places I've lives and traveled in the US. My last home in the US was in Eastlake and I feel safer here. Never hear a gunshot or see anyone that would frighten me.. I sleep at night listening to the ocean. Nancy Callison RN / callnanc@hotmail.com ----------------------------------- I have lived full time in Rosarito for 4 years this June and have only 'flowers' to report! Waking up on the ocean makes me pinch myself and Thank God for allowing me to fulfill my dream of living on the beach. A 'buenos dias', como estes or buen dia with a grand smile greets me where ever I go... VIVA MEXICO, A.K. / akenesie@yahoo.com --------------------------------- Four years ago I heard Dan Rather of CBS announce that there was much activity at the border, both ways. He said Americans were heading to Mexico in big numbers to retire. I sold everything, put a footlocker in my car along with my cat and headed for Baja. My quality of life greatly improved because of the cost of living here. I live just a few blocks from the beach which I walk often, in downtown Rosarito Beach, close to shopping and entertainment. I’m not far from the border so I can get to San Diego for my Medicare. I’m only minutes away from one of the best heart clinics in the region. I feel safe. I’ve never heard a shot or seen a gun or a dead body. I have a caregiver 6 days/week. The cost of my apartment and my caregiver would be absolutely prohibitive in the USA. Everyday I thank God for delivering me from a life of mediocrity to a life of serenity. As they say in Mexico, estoy muy contento!
