where i Am At

Whew, twenty or so emails and personal messages this last week alone. Look at the map below. See the Baja Peninsula. Go halfway down the left side. See Morro Redondo? Go inland a quarter inch or so, at that is my "Medical Hangout". Get to the states later on for Surgery.

My home is on the mainland. Trace down the Pacific Coast of mainland Mexico. I live halfway between two cities. Manzanillo and Acapulco on the Pacific coast.

Now follow down to the next country. Guatemala. See the tiny blue lake image? That's where I'll be spending summers.

Not exactly Times Square or San Fernando Valley.

  • July temps in Santiago. 78 days / 70 night

    Humidity 50% day,70% at night

    Las Peñas winter day 85 night 77

    Santiago, Hotel 11 dollars a day 130 dollars a month.

    Las Pe?as is the summer is hot and humid. Santiago is at 5,300 ft altitude. Altitude is the key. Today Toluca Mexico reached a scorching high temp of 67F altitude 9,000 ft. But it snows in the winter, So it does at Creel Chihuahua on the rim of the Copper Canyon.

    Guat City pop 5,000,000 is only a 4 hour drive. Burger Queen, Kentucky Fried Rat. My refrigerator is full of tamales, cebiche, tortillas, bolillos, yellowtail, shrimp, lobster. Haven't spoke a word of ingles in months. Using the internet tones up my gringo communications. But now when I espeak ingles I make a fool of myself structuring sentences and pronunciations.

    The USA makes me nervous now. My trips are strictly limited to 2 days then I dart back across the border.
  • why go from HOT to Steamy in the summer
    or is the reverse ?

    your all ready on the coast, the further south you go the hotter it gets

    shouldn't you be going south in the winter ?

    BTW its triple digits here SFV and expected to stay that way for at least thru the begining of the week
  • I will when the 10-year permit expires in 2021 otherwise after that one time, it returns to Las Peñas. No place to park it. Here's an image of the Lake and land in Guatemala. Yep. Them's volcanos.
